What are your plans for it then? Suggest you do something with the air filter, not doing it any good there at all.

Did you get my Pm earlier? and my plans for this is take as much possible weight out as i can... Going to get a set of lightweight seats and steering wheel. All thats left in the interior is dash, 4x door cards 2 front seats and spare wheel but thats coming out as soon as i get the back lowered and some better tyres! Also stripped out the engine bay, bonnet sound proofing, bulk head sound proofing, aircon, charcoal canister and all the standard airbox. |
Yea, I replied earlier.
Are you going to track it? |

I made my own subframes using flat black steel and a mixture of the original ones. Cost me nothing! The seat was bought off ebay for around £50 if my memory serves me correct. I think you can buy bespoke subframes but they are not cheap, best to enquire direct to the company concerned. Other than that go for the alloy or steel side mounted types but that will mean the superior bucket seat as well that use the sidemounts and not the standard underside mount.

Well i dont mean to sound like a fussy sod but i had my harness mounted where yours is and i was told its unsafe, what i did was put an eyebolt through the two plates which had the female seatbelt on it. I was told in a crash it would either pull the eyebolt out as its relying on the thread or brake my back as the harness brings your back down to the same angle its mounted at. I mounted mine on the D pillar in the end.
Told by a guy at a garage tho that if you have a bucket seat it will be safer than using a standard seat at that angle, is your rear clip clipped into one of the loop holes in the metal bracket that holds the webbing? |
What? I don't understand that...............eyebolts are supplied to snap the seatbelt to. However I have a quick release rear strap so my rear point is bolted to the same point as the female parts. The angle is within the recommended tolerance for the rear straps and not bolted to the floor directly behind the seat. I have built and raced many cars over the years and all have passed scrutineering so I'll carry on and do what I have always done.
In my road going ZS I have kept the inertia seatbelt so I can use this as well as the harness. In order to do this I have modified some Audi seatbelt mounts that enable me to snap the harness into position without interferring with the inertia version. |

Much easier to do as Mick and others have and fabricate some up. What are your plans engine wise??? |
Stamford i didnt mean to offend, i was just told on RT
this is how my harness was first mounted http://i359.photobucket.com/albums/o...g?t=1253134881 I was told by many people its dangerous so i raised it to the D pillar. And Jay for the time being im going to stick with the K series after the £900 full rebuild. But hopefully get cams, 52mm tb etc. |
