have u got any pics of the mounting of the 4pt harness from behind the seat ?
fireball, here you go;
I am not in any way advocating this as the 'correct' way to mount your harness. All I know is that it was mounted by Ktec Motorsport, who build many a porsche up to CAMS spec for competitions. I therefore assume / hope that they know what they're doing....
You drill a hole in the cross member that the roll hoop is bolted to. Drill the hole just above one of the large circular holes in the metal. This way you can get a large washer, nut and spanner up behind. Then use these to secure an eyebolt to the cross member. Do this twice and you will have two points to hook your harness to. I did my passenger side in the same way this week and it took me about 20 mins.
I am impressed, mainly because here these cars are still so expensive to buy and mod. In the UK i could see someone picking up a cheap s2k and stripping her. Here it seems very dedicated. Now i know where you got the "spare" soft top from, lol
So, the first round of the 2009 Sprint Series has been and gone. I have only the preliminary results atm (i.e. what I can remember) but I will share anyway.
Car felt great! We had a testing session last Friday for which I removed the Whiteline front ARB. The car felt a bit too understeery since fitting the new HKS coilovers so I tried going back to the OEM front ARB. It feels better now, less 'push' from the front in the tighter corners.
This round we competed on a course called 'The Sideling'. It's the shortest of all the courses that they run at AHG. Last time we did this course was August last year, and my fastest time was 1:46.57. Today, I managed a best time of 1:43.53, over 3 seconds improvement . The only major changes since August are the HKS coilovers and the Greddy exhaust system. Both of these changes, I feel, contributed greatly to the new speed of the car.
I was very happy to take some big scalps today, namely, a very tidy Evo 9, a PRB Clubman (with sparkly paint) and my mate Nick G., in his stupidly powerful 2004 WRX STI. Admittedly Nick's tyres were shot so I reckon he will get me next month .
Last comment, is about the Cusco brake stopper. Can't say that I've really felt much difference from this mod, but I will leave it on for a few more rounds. Brakes still feel a bit 'spongy', but sT(.)(.)k is sending me some Ferodo DS3000's, which I may give a try next month.

P.S. The commentators and some of the crowd all commented that the car sounded awesome with the new Greddy Ti-C!
