Default Anybody running Cobra Misano's?

These things look sick! I've been eyeing them for a bit! Kinda like a race seat, but with a bit of adjustment..

I've seen only one other Rennlister with these seats... do a search, there were some nice pictures of them installed in a cab.

I agree... these seats look great... I almost ended up buying some awhile back, but couldn't handle the cost, plus from what I've heard, hard to deal with the supplier. Outstanding seats if you can get your hands on some or don't mind waiting till forever for them to come in.

Hi Coleman,

You should watch the posts a bit more as someone posted on these a week or two ago and they looked great in the car. If you do a search you should be able to find the post.

Cheers,

David

They look and feel great, but there is no provision for sub belt.

I can also tell you from experience fitting these types of seats in a 911, the **** for seat back rake will have issue clearing the tunnel on the inside. If it does clear pulled fully forward, it will probably limit travel back (by quite a bit in most cases). I generally find that I have to cut off this inside **** and ANY shaft it is mounted to in order to make them work...
