I had that exact Corbeau seat in my racecar for a year. Loved it. First race was a 2 hour endurance race, and the comfort part helped greatly. I’d happily get those seats again.
I actually really like my Corbeau seat. Great price for a FIA certified seat. Was a nice change not holding on for dear life sliding around my OEM seat on the track.
@@jonbanaitis2992 that must have changed recently, because that was the sole reason I bought it at that price point (4 years ago) was because it was FIA approved.
@@jonbanaitis2992 They did in fact make FIA Approved seats that were about $200 more than the non approved versions. I dont see nearly as many now on their website, looks like it changed. Also I totally Expected something from NRG which like you said would've made it a much Lower to Higher comparison lol
More than the cars it's the chemistry between hosts. Also, the shop boys have personality and aren't just saying " so we're putting x into z and that's pretty much it".
doesnt that also lower the head rest? its already pretty low edit: i was thinking it was a smaller seat size like the lowest headrest setting in a stock seat
I believe they shave the frame or something like that, to give an additional inch of head room, but the option is on selected seats, IIRC; however, I could be wrong on both accounts, it's been a while since I ran with a Corbeau.
@@Miami_Bad_Boy_BOSS this is probably the first time ive seen a conjunctive adverb being used in a youtube comment 😄👍 is that also a compound complex clause?
What Aaron said at 4:00 about the seats supporting not your legs really blew my mind. I’m 6’5” and this is how I’m forced to drive every every car I’ve ever been in, it never occurred to me that the seat was supposed to hold the weight
James' honesty about the production shit makes me love him as a host even more because he's not trying to front like doughnut is a million dollar a day company, doughnut is everyone's shared baby and he's honest about shit that comes with running a production team etc ❤❤❤
I love you guys and what separates you from the rest of car media in general is obviously your humor, but I think your honesty with us goes under-appreciated. You literally talked about the whole “deadline” thing I didn’t like about a lot of car mod shows and you said it in full clarity to the viewer. Just wanted to say, mad respect, love you guys.
When I was in the market for seats, I thought I wanted the sparco evo 3’s until I sat in them. Super uncomfortable and too tight. I ended up with corbeau fx1 pros and they fit way better and are comfortable enough for long drives to the track. Everyone that sits in them says the same thing.
swisher5weet I had an old set of used corbeau seats don’t know the model , but they where super comfy and I loved them , better than any oem seat I ever sat in and held you like a gentle hug, after that next bucket seats I buy will also be corbeau
@@austinthesinister9635 Guess you never sat in any non econo turd American cars from the 80's. Zero bolstering, but they were like riding down the highway on a couch.
yeah this is probably the first time they did instead of hi/low did a hi/mid, since corbeau is still considered a good quality seat vs a $250 dollar pair from ebay lol. luv the show but many of the other things they have done also have a mid level cost that could be just as good as the hi but better than the low
10:09 hit me right in the feels. Considering I've spent the past several months on an engine refresh for my z that should have taken a few weekends. I'm hitting roadblock after roadblock but knowing I'll get it back on the road, and on the track makes it all worth it.
fun seat fact: When Gordon Murray designed the McLaren F1, his major complaint with performance cars of the time was that the pedals were placed too much to the side of the car, forcing the driver to twist the hips to drive. He wanted a car in which the driver’s hips remained perfectly squared straight while driving to improve comfort and response time. This is why the car was designed with three seats with the driver in the center.
@@huatseng6037 I have a modded out 2013 jetta sportwagon 2.0 TDI. nothing much to do other than aesthetics parts, because I like my 40mpg, also wagon life.
@@readmyusernamecauseitssoreally he's sacrificing his heated seats for something else, the sparco seats. To be a "Hot Boi" you have to have the branded stuff on your car that will look aesthetically pleasing (Sparco Seats looks a lot better than the stock ones).

Whhhooooaaaaa 7:00 Alex is a craaaazxyyyy fabricator. The cage he made for the 3rd gen camero for the build and battle for hoonigan was sick asffffff!!!!!
Honestly, the difference between sparco and corbeau is completely negligible. Any racing seat is going to need some massaging to make it perfect in your car. This comparison would have been a little more realistic if it were between something like a sparco or recaro, and a generic "racing seat" from Amazon. Still love this series. good job, cool dudes.
Handgun777 weight reduction does improve performance though. At 100 pounds thats a good chunk of weight that will make the car feel slower since the engine has to carry it and now that it doesnt its more efficient. More efficient = more acceleration. Take a couple hundred pounds off a truck and tell me it doesnt perform better.
Rewatching this because I'm looking at seats and I actually teared up because I felt so bad for Nolan when the seat didn't fit after the roll bar. Thanks guys for becoming vicarious friends! Love you all
I had a NRG seat in my daily for two years, absolutely loved it. It was like $200 and I did 7 hour drives in it no problem. Didn't wear out or anything
I have red Corbeau CR1's since 2001. They're starting to peel around the left bolster. They've been great for me all this time. I need to find a place to reupholster

If you want to jump your car from stock to street prepared you can get new shocks, HP tires, some engine mods or you can install racing seats. Being able to actually control the car means more than all the power mods.
Don’t get me wrong. This is one of if not my favorite series on RUclips. (I have watched it many times over and over by now) but I don’t think that donut understands how to do a budget car. You can get better stuff for cheaper than what they did for low car
I hope they give these away when everything is done. The 350z has been my dream car for about 15 years. I would die/kill to have one in my driveway and be able to take it to and from work. I have the exact picture for the way I want it to look in my head, and would love to have a start with putting it into real life
