more slope slippin'

[nostatic]

rough positioning of custom cross mounts:


what it'll look like:


front sways:


rear sway reinforcement:


and front spoiler on:


Harness and whatnot tomorrow...

[vash]

that slope is steep!

WEEEEEEEE!

[GettinHeadStuds]

uuh oh

[Dantilla]

For a little bit, there, I thought we needed an intervention. Then I thought about what I've done to my car.......

Keep slippin'

[Jeff964]

what kind of Sparco is that?

[nostatic]

Sparco Fighter. It is a "street" seat, in that it is bottom mount, but it is the same style as the Evo. The only other difference is that it has extra abrasion-resistant material on the edges.

[Zeke]

It also appears to be a bit less money too. Which is a good thing.

[Bob's Flat-Six]

Might as well recall the Duck
I think it looks pretty good on that 87 that's for sale in the classifieds.


Is it at TRE right now? I might have to stop by

[Shuie]

Nice job! Have you tested the lowered seat yet? If so, do you find that you can see the gauges a little better? How big can you go on the rear sways before needing the reinforced mount?

[nostatic]

I haven't tested the final mount yet. It is kinda weird sitting so low, but what are you gonna do? Plus I can always spacer up, but can't spacer down, so better to err on the side of more headroom. If I had it to do over again I'd get a non-sunroof coupe...

From what I understand even stock sways should get reinforced as the factory mount is notorious for breaking. You can either buy a stronger mount and grind off the old one, or do as Tyson did here and weld on a reinforcement plate.

Ditto what nostatic said about the sway bar mounts.

When's the next track date?

[Schrup]

Todd, when you gonna spring for the $500 paint job for the helmet? I had mine reenforced as well, here is some of JWs handy work.

[cantdrv55]

Nice seats, great mods. You're on your way. When's the full cage coming?

[Tyson Schmidt]

Well Todd, I just got home. I stayed late to finish the seat install.

Everything's done except the harness bar and 5-point belts, but that's the easy stuff. I took her for a spin around the block. The seat feels fantastic, and the sways are awesome. You're going to have a big grin on your face at the next track event!

[}{arlequin]

it ain't the steepness of the slope..... it's the eeeevil that contagious.

Looks like fun. Those sways look trick. Enjoy the slide....

[nostatic]

Tyson, you da man. I hope some of the Bass were put to use (well, after the spin around the block).

Jack, I'm hoping to do the POC DE and maybe STS September 7/8, then OTR on the 27th (my b-day). It would be great to do something earlier, but the only things I saw were Speed Ventures at Streets. Don't know much about that group though...

[Porschekid962]

HAHAHAHAHAHA it only gets steeper from here, you just went from the bunny slope to a single diamond run, double and triple diamonds ahead!!!! I think I need to look up some more prices on engine parts now, the fun never stops!! Todd, thanks for the pictures.

[aigel]

Very nice!

Why no sub belt hole in those seats? Can you get them with the hole? I think folks have them put in by upholsterers?

I like the reinforcement. Wonder if I can do that with my wonder welding skills. (Stevie Wonder, that is!)

Cheers, George

Speedventures is a pretty good group. I've instructed for them in the past, and may do so for one of their Streets of Willow events.
