Nice build, you've done alot of work in the short time you've owned it. The bay looks awesome

Thank you means a lot to me.

dream car

Thanks mate.

Very nice work mate, your engine bay looks amazing! some lovely mods and brilliant pics. I so wana go to the ring some time! I got the same BC camber kit as you and they do seem very solid, the guy who set the camber up for me said they looked very good also but we will see!

Thanks for the comments mate much appreciated

Yes the BC's are good quality very pleased.

Awesome, Love your car / how you use it! sounds like an awesome trip to the ring, i mite have to pinch your Geo set up as mine wasnt quite as negative at the front as yours is and i was getting a very slight bit of understeer! i would love your B16B but my bank really really wouldnt haha
Nice camber adjusters same as mine! Deffo a worthwhile purchase!
did you notice any difference when you fitted the condenser?

And as for april next year id love to come along!, deffo going twice next year so let me know the dates and il see if i can join ya!

Yes def on the ring date.

Thanks for the comments i'm glad you like it.

Carry on with pinching the set up i post it up to help others. I may even increase front camber to negative 3 deg....

Thanks mate, a lot of parts came from the EK4 after the smash at snetterton.

Still something good came out of it.

They're SPG's not XL versions as the XL have different shaped harness slots and are alot bigger!

Looking good although get the harnesses mounted as they should be, crossed over and mounted to the seatbelt mounts with eye bolts

Just Read Through all of That. You are Crazy and spoon Daft by the Looks of it.

This is how Willans recommend you put there harnesses. And they make them for F1,WRC,NASCAR And i hope you don't mean straight down either cause that would snap my spine in a front end as the seat collapses under the strain from the belts. If memory serves me correct the angle from horizontal should not be more than 15 degrees. You should use the belts strength to stop you not them resting against the seat.

You have PM about the seats though man, i took measurements from the recaro website and they matched the XL plus 36" waist???

Sorry Forgot to ask where do you get the Willans Harnesses from, Quite Fancy a Set in Red for My ITR against the Black Recaros. Are they quite expensive

Thanks

 

[ijwhiteman]

No mate they are not. They are made to order and are VERY fair for price when you consider they are FULL FIA approved and made to the same standards as F1,WRC, etc etc

Check there website, they are only 8 miles down the road from me.
