Can't stop, won't stop - finally my build

[Navi]

Hello,

I love your build thread, very well documented and illustrated. Could you please share the model/ serial number of the hanesses you used with the Tyrolsport harness bar? Also, do the lap belts fit into the existing receptacles? I have a quick-fit and would like a harness bar/harness system that I can easily use on the weekend and go back to stock on the weekdays.

thanks in advance

ps haven been there for a while . . .

The harnesses are SC-ASM 20001 and SC-ASM 25001. The lap belts are bolted to the oem locations for stock seatbelts. Everything is functional and I can choose between using either seatbelt.

ok thanks. So if I understand correctly, the inboard lap belt flange "shares" the same bolt/mount with the OEM female receptacle. Do I have it right?

Navi, please share some photos of how you have the lap belts bolted.

Love the build! Did you have any issues mounting the tyrolsport bar to the recaro setup?

Don't see a lot of people running both superpro bars, mind sharing what you ended up with for adjustment f/r?

 

[Navi]

nah, tyrosport bar works fine with the recaros. I'm running soft settings on both superpro bars. It's pretty easy to get the car to lift off oversteer with this setup

Noticed you kept part of the tow hook cover, very clean. Mind sharing how you did that?

Wow! Just read this thread start to finish. Excellent vision and attention to detail! I saw that you reverted back to the Bilstein coilovers after having used the H&R Street Performance set. Any particular reason for this, or just the desire to mix it up a bit? I’m strongly leaning towards the H&R as they tick most of my boxes and have had their springs on 3 previous cars.

thanks. i reverted back to the bilstein bc overall they are a better suspension than the HR. I was trying to sell them for awhile and no one was buying. I ended up using superpro camber plates at the recommendation of my friend and the bilsteins have not broke yet. Knock on wood. The HR was great but they are much softer/more compliant in my opinion. There was more body roll.

I am going to redo the whole suspension on the car with an ohlins setup sooner than later though.
