Review: MOMO 1000 Lakes bucket seat
I purchased a MOMO 1000 Lakes a few months ago. Finally got my mugen slider 2 weeks ago. I have been fiddling around to have the slider take the seat. After a few days of buying extra bolts, washers, got the seat to mount firmly on the slider.
Here's my driving impression:
1. WOW, I can push the car A LOT harder around the corners and still feel safe.
2. Bucket seats rule!
No more sliding around, grabbing on to steering wheel to save my a$$.
3. This combo drops my sitting position by about 0.5-1.0" at the front and 1.0-2.0" at the back of the seat (compare to stock USDM driver seat.)
4. Furthermore, driving position allows my butt to sink down lower than my thighs. No more sitting almost 90deg w/ respect to my torso.
5. Bad news: now I feel every pebble on the road... might have to only use it for autoX or track session... I commute 50 miles a day.
A related funny story: The first hard left turn at a light w/ MOMO seat, I ended up being in the median/turn lane on a 5-lane road. I just felt so secure that I cranked it a lot more than I thought I did. You should've seen the face of the driver behind me. haha.
Cliff note:
1. MOMO 1000 Lakes + Mugen slider = fits me like a glove
2. What used to be "hard" turns are now just boring.

Re: Review: MOMO 1000 Lakes bucket seat (AdamITR)
Glad to hear everything fit!
BTW, did you Top Nascar fit with no modification what-so-ever? I had to space out the left rail by about .5-1". It's all good though.
