Thanks for the video! I was about to purchase the reclining seat, but the flex when breaking is really off putting. Saved me some money there! Thanks again!

Last Friday i finished my custom aluminium extrusion profile with a bucket seat and i've spent more time adjusting stuff than playing lol. I have ordered a cervical and lumbar support pillow to help with comfort as my shoulder blades are killing me and had to set the wheel a bit further than my wrists since I was hitting the seat with my elbows.

$400 Sparco FIA approved seat(Sprint L) is just waiting for my TR 160S to arrive - never had a doubt it was rigid enough. I will don't know why some burn money(marketing?) on poorly made fiberglass seats. Thanks for the video making me happy with my purchase.

[Ruskieit]

Thanks... I was looking exactly for this content in view of the next black friday

[SR-fxsm]

Saved me from wasting money on the reclinable seat! Thanks!!

Good video. I currently have the recliner seat and don’t find it too comfortable and been thinking about the fiberglass seat.

I have the same rig I had a spare metal plate which you can order from track racer that elevates the seat. Than you will have gy position and it's more comfortable than the gt seat. I lobe mine

Everyone says get a real car seat.

They're designed the way they are, for a reason. Heck you can even hook up a 12V battery for adjusting them.

lookin good thank you for the vid ill get the bucket

[sotaventorecords]

Thanks! This is great, you have saved me some money! I was about to buy the reclining seat but that flex is bad! Whats the point in spending all my money on a sturdy rig only for it to be wobbling.

Get yourself a neck cushion. It will help, got one on my bucket seat and a lumbar support.

Great video! im planning to make a sim that is really similar to yours, as in Trak Racer cockpit, the same samsung monitor, but one thing I'm stuck on is to go with fanatec or moza. I see you have the r16/21 wheelbase, which is what newton meters I'm looking for. My question is basically if you've had any problems with any moza products. Thank you!

Love the review, TJ! Keep these up. (And thanks for the shoutout )

I'd like to have found this video before buying the reclinable seat from NLR 🙃, haven't installed it yet since I'm waiting for my cockpit to arrive but now I'm regretting my purchase

[kevinobrien]

Did the seat come with those universal mount plates on the side?

[AdamsOlympia]

Looks great! How are you liking it 6 months later?
Just ordered my first full rig, TR120 and the TRX Hybrid fixed fiberglass seat. Been racing in a swiveling office chair and NLR 2.0 stand, so the Trak Racer rig is going to be a game changer for me.

You are sitting way back your arms need to be on 90° angel for optimal use but if it feels best like that for you ? You do you

[relaxfoo]

Do you notice any flex to the back under hard braking?

[IMakeStuff]

Go to your local chop shop or car graveyardand get a real seat from a real car. More selection, less money, higher quality, and more rigidity.

Actually, your steering wheel is a little too low. You will find much more precision and comfort having the top of the wheel just in line with your chin. F1 drivers have the top of the steering wheel just under the bottom of the nose. As far as distance, your wrist should be able to hang over the edge of the top of the wheel. I've spoken to a few F1 drivers about these positions and also GT/Touring car drivers who shared these positioning theories. When I have driven many of the different new Ferrari road cars, I have found the positioning about the same! Great video though.
