Pete Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Want to stop sliding around in your seat? There's an easier solution - eat more pies. I can't begin to think how this effects the pretentioner arrangement and likelihood of snapping your neck in an accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Or you could get your seats retrimmed with an alcantara seat portion to help with the friction. As always the more expensive option will probably be best! I might get one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I've been convinced by the sales pitch, and I've ordered 2 (passenger too)! I'll let you know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Well I took delivery of these today, and in no more than 10mins I had them in place. All I can say is, WOW! No retrims necessary, no new suspension set-up, just set the CG Lock to fit you, and what a difference it makes. You do feel part of the car, and it seems like it handles much better, and more like a small sportster than I'd even believe possible. I must admit they are a little pricey, but its definitely saved me money and hassle in the long run. Highly recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Look at the linky in my sig Yes I know they are lovely, but I can't really justify the cost at the mo, what with a leaky conservatory roof and crap guttering. These were the next best thing. Promise! As for the shopping channels stuff, that was the old me, and I have nearly re-sold all of that tat on Ebay now I will say this tho, don't knock it 'til you try it. They work for me!

hogmaw Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Maybe a group buy is in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I've just contacted a mod about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Quick question, if it straps you in like a harness, does that mean you can't lean forward like if you want to look ahead to see around parked cars, or into the back seat to get a map etc?

AndrewOW Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 It basically works similar to an aeroplane seatbelt. You set the belt across your lap, lock it in place (which will undo easily if necessary), and it will stay in that position. You would have to release it, or the belt latch to reach over to the passenger footwell etc, but the upper part of the belt stays exactly as before, ie flexible and comfortable, so you still have complete upper body movement, as you wouldn't with a harness etc. It actually feels better once its on, cos it doesn't just lock up when you are trying to lean forward (pre-tensioner) etc, as I've noticed they can do when you are driving. Which is a tad annoying! With one of these you wouldn't need bucket seats and a harness, because it does most of the job (80%) on its own without ever having to change your 'stock' seats. If you are interested, I'm trying to get some agreement with a mod to offer their discount code. Can't say fairer than that! I will say that RobSheffield's seats are lovely tho, but I can't justify buying them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Just a quick update, my girlfriend thinks the CG-Lock is great, as she's not being thrown around like the bloke in 'Automan' (early 80's TV show) was when I'm cornering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Just in case you'd all forgotten about these, I've arranged a 'group' buy type affair. The offer would be on going, so we won't need loads of people initially, just mention you're from this club, and you should hopefully get a discount. Highly recommended! http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=113840 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
