cobra misano lux seats

I gather these are quite hard then?

They are indeed.

The first one I sat in was down at an office where all of the office seats were Cobra Misanos, so they're comfortable and supportive, there just isn't much give!

I'll be fishing Saturday morning, will let you know how I get on, I'm hoping Tech2 has the answer, and can either just clear the code, or program the car to expect 2 airbags instead of 4...

I've got a complete set of old seats stored there too, so may even be able to do some measuring (depending on how likely I am to blow the airbag doing so of course...)

Surely the meter won't pass enough current across it to trigger the airbag, I'd imagine the car must pass current across there to know whether the airbag is actually attached or not?

be careful, certain explosives only require a very small amount of current to trigger, a multimeter can potentially trigger this.

essentially i would assume that the ecu would be reading the resistance of the actual explosive or whatever is used to trigger the airbag, if you want to read this, to trick the ecu into thinking it has the correct load there, then the safest method is to use a safety ohm meter.

But then again you might be fine, someone who has more experience with airbags would be able to answer that

And if your wondering how i randomly know this, ive wired small explosives onto aero engines

Good Grief! You'll have state that it's all work based or you'll have MI5 after you!

thought that i'd mention that just to be safe

I had a pretension seat belt go of on me I've still got the scares I wouldn't be putting any volts down wires trying to find the right wire

[SturdyHSV]

As I finished early so it was bright (ish) and it wasn't raining, I thought I'd take a few more pictures, just because I can

Took the beast for a quick lap and a drink, tweaked the seat a bit more and realised I can have the steering wheel lower now (as low as it goes in fact) which is nice.



Also fitted a seat belt stabiliser like I have on the driver's seat, so passengers can strap right in now too

For the more practically minded amongst you, rear seat access is far better than I remember, as the seats are so thin:



The head rest is taller however, so if the seat is fairly far forward, it bumps the sun visor, although you still end up with loads of room to get in and out.

More CF for Mark. Haven't been in the back before!



Epic legroom behind driver even with me being 6ft in the driver's seat.

You need to polish the swirls out of the carbon fibre

[anonymous-user]

Nice but what's wrong with the standard seats? I've always found them lovely, squashy, comfy things great for long distance. Don't understand why you'd pay money to change them?

carbon, Lighter, Carbon, hold you in better, carbon
and the carbon fibre looks great

Must be good must be good

I think its an age thing. I dont get it either

[SturdyHSV]

Mmm, I'm a yoof, like I said, in years to come I'll probably want softer seats again!

im close ish to surdys age and i dont get it either.

on trip down a normal uk road not the good ones in MK and he will smash out his teeth... if not now he will when he decides he wants coilovers.....

Have you seen my teeth? Good riddance to them!

Either way, people can sit in them and make up their own mind, don't write them off just yet

[MyM8V8]

I'd be doing it for the weight saving alone. And they do look bloody good too!

Turning off the light, it just comes straight back on again (of course)

Fault codes are right hand seat airbag and left hand seat airbag resistance too high (unsurprisingly)

Next step? Resistance of the airbag, from a distance, hopefully without blowing myself up...

Couldn't you use an appropriate variable resistor on the cars airbag wiring, rather than risk messing with the removed seats. Just turn it up until the controller says ok. Or am I being thick?
