jevansio Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Cheers Mark Been doing a bit more, fitted the panels that cover the strut tops, I was going to cut a hole in the top so I can adjust the coilovers but I think I'll leave it covered (it's neater) and take the covers off to adjust them Also laid a bit of carpet in the boot to give an idea of what it'll look like when complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 It looks tidy with the carpet in the boot Jay, good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Update: I wasn't happy with the way the carpet was lying, & my lass had a piece of foam she was using, so I tried it in the car to see if it would make the carpet fit more smoothly. First with the foam laid in place, it's 1" thick. With some strategic velcro to give it a better shape: I cut a section away down the middle as it didn't need the padding there: The foam had the added benefit of making the fit between the carpet & plastic trims very snug, I also used the OEM fasteners along the front edge to hold it tight: These last two are a before and after to show how it's tidied things up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Very impressive. I love your attention to detail with the work you carry out on your car. Do you know how much it weighs ATM? Thanks Mike, much appreciated . The car should weigh around 1400kg at the mo (give or take 10kg), once the car is back on the road I'll take it back to the weigh bridge to get another figure. Looks very neat now, nicely done. Thats just what i need to do! Excellent work mate Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Very nice Jay. Is it fine to cross the 2 shoulder harness's behind the seat. I had a talk with a guy who does track competition in Germany and he told me not to do so when he saw my car with the harness's in and crossed the same way you do.

SteveL Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Very nice Jay. Is it fine to cross the 2 shoulder harness's behind the seat. I had a talk with a guy who does track competition in Germany and he told me not to do so when he saw my car with the harness's in and crossed the same way you do. Luc Luc, it'd be interesting to hear why he suggested not to cross them over? Cheers Luc, Lol, funny you should mention that, if you have a look back at SteveL's posts he advised me to do it that way, unless I miss understood him? Jay, nope you got it spot on. I was originally told about this by a couple of scrutineers who pointed out the additional safety aspects. I thought it was even more appropriate for road use where 'you' may not want to have the harness completely tight. There's nothing in the MSA blue book on crossing or not crossing the harness straps, but they do mention (in the diagram I posted before) about the angle not being more than 20 degrees from top center, so the straps going to the center bolt on the back seat may be more than this? But then again they are also considering competition conditions. I'd personally do them as you have done... (foot note: ... some sort of legal blah-blah denouncing me of all possibilities of being sued in the event of personal injury resulting from the above 'advice' ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkR Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Looks really good Jay. Why do your seats have a solid RECARO on the drivers seat and just the outline on the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Cheers buds Mark, one is a Profi SPG, the other is an Apex SPG, same weight, different padding & cushion material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Which one is which and which one is more comfortable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 Drivers is Profi, Passenger is Apex, drivers is more expensive, passengers is more comfortable, hence me choosing the Profi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
