Default MOMO 1000 Lakes seat update

Well, I've had the seat in my car for over a month now. This past weekend, I put back the stock seat. Well, I hate driving in OEM stock seat. It's only been 2 days w/ the stockers back in the car and I feel like driving a minivan. My earlier estimate of 1" drop from MOMO seat + Mugen slider was way underestimated. It's gotta be close to 2-3" drop. I seriously cannot tolerate the elevated and cushiony feeling of the OEM seat. Gotta put back the MOMO seat tonight.

Cliff Notes: Venting about OEM ITR seat... if you got one, toss it out the window, it sux. Bucket seat rulez!!

I put it back in 'cuz it was raining a lot the past week and didn't feel like getting wet, when trying to get out of the car. (w/ a bucket seat, it's an excercize to get out... even when you're used to it.)

Hey Sean, if you do decide to come down to S Florida for a little while, make sure the Momo seat is in, I want to try it out b4 I buy it...

BTW, how tall/heavy are you? I'm 6' 3" and 200 lbs, just want to make sure I'd fit b4 I waste my time considering a seat I won't fit in

Jason - you will definitely need something bigger than 1000 Lakes. I'm 5'11" 175-180lbs w/ 32in waist. I fit perfectly in the seat. You would be better off with Acropolis or Top Nascar. I believe AdamITR is around 6'3" and he uses Top Nascar.

If your 6 foot 3 and 200 pounds I would reccomend the Accroplis, Im pretty sure the 1000 lakes will be a little to tight on your sides.

I'm 5'11", 150lbs, and 29 in. waist:

Sean's seat is tight as hell! That thing is stiff, makes you sit straight up and down, and pushes your hips together all crazy!

There is no way I would ever put that thing in my daily driver!
