I used a Schroth ASM harness in another car. If you are tightening the lap belts before the shoulder straps, there is no way you should feel like you are falling out or otherwise unsafe.
So add a roll bar and a fixed back seat for a harness to pass through but still use an ASM? So you don't have to worry about a way to make a mount for the 5th/6th points?
Except that's not what a harness bar is for. Anchoring a harness to a harness bar is as bad as using our strut tower brace. Maybe even worse.
If you want a harness, you will HAVE to get a seat that is made for them. If you have a harness, it HAS to be a 5 or 6 point since nobody makes an ASM...
I agree with 45mins if you have the tools handy. An extra set of hands helps to separate the slip joint. Doable by yourself, though.
The part that took longest for me was getting the vband clamp off and out of the way (not a lot of room to move in there).
I tend to do things differently. :D I'm currently thinking of how to heat cycle the tires. I'm thinking some violent stop/go while bedding in the pads followed by a spirited drive through a local windy road. I have no way to do it on a machine.
Wheels, tires, brake pads, brake fluid done. Rock guards on. TPMS set up. I realized my magnets won't work on this car, so had to put actual stickers for the numbers.
Almost ready to get whooped at Bimmer Challenge. ?
18s sure give this car a whole different look.
I'm looking forward to being reasonably fast in a car without having to basically rebuild the whole thing. This car will always be a comfortable street car. Full interior, etc. Suspension and some aerodynamics. That's about it.
I really like those wheels. I'm looking to powder coat my OEM 2021...
I got it down to 1'56.xxx on four year old NT01s. With some a052s, I could have managed a 1'53".999.
Let me know if you make it to any of those other events.
I'm down to meet somebody at Buttonwillow, I need to run the Supra to get an apples to oranges comparison to the Evo.
