Looking for a quick answer here. Looking at pictures it looks like the armrest would interfere with the use of the handbrake while it is in the down position not to mention put your arm at a funky angle with the shifter. Anyone have any input on comfort level and shifting is worse or better with the armrest installed?


Thinking about picking up one but not sure if it being in the way would just annoy me lol




I know I know..... Search....... However the site doesn't have a lot of traffic lately so it also never hurts to start up conversations for the newbs to read.

 

you can reach under it to get the parking brake. it takes some getting used to. shifting is fine with it.

 

im glad I put my armrest in. I can still use my ebrake and shift without having to lift the armrest up.

 

No problem what so ever, if you think about it is it a problem for basemodel cobalts with it on? Not really and shifting is just fine like it wasn't even there

 

Armrest? Ebrake? your cars sound heavy

 

lol I already have one stripped down racecar I don't need another.

 

Basemodels don't have to worry about banging some serious gearage lol




Sounds like an armrest might be worth taking a closer look at since I have my daily autocross even of 70+ miles every day.

 

silly base models

 

Lol it doesn't get in the way go for it man

 

Everytime I read this I think about the old Trix cereal commercial.

Silly Base Models trix are for kids haha

 

I'm thinking so there man!


I have a new Go Pro to try out anyways so if anything I will post a video of it in my way while I rally to work lol

 

I have a black one for sale, If you're interested lol

 

condition? complete with mounting brackets?


De'Niro?

 

Oh just saw your in Canada that would probably kill it in shipping.

 

Arm rest is all good. Only time I lift it is at the drag strip. It's at a pretty good night for normal day to day shifting.

 

The only thing I don't like about armrest is in the lnf it's rubs the seat when it's down I always put it up when I'm not driving car cause I don't want it to leave a impression on driver seat

 

For what it's worth mine doesn't rub at all when down. My seat may busy positioned farther back.

 

Ya if further back its OK but I guess I'm a short legged bastard

 

The seat bolsters can be adjusted. You can squeeze them together and the hold shape. I liked mine a little tighter on the sides. This also gives the arm rest some clearance.

 

So you just push?

 

Yup. You bend the inner structure.

 

Well cw383 had a nice black one so it looks like I will be bolting one in sooner rather then l8ter!


Better get the go pro fired up!

 

best mod i ever did

 

same here. It's a whole different car now

 

Sold already lol
