I know this is OT, but I was looking at how your seat and harness were installed too.
If you shoulder straps are at an angle of less than 45* (more horizontally acute) you should be okay.

What sliding rails are you using? Stock with Recaro side brackets?
I'm mounting a Recaro right now too, and having som issues with mounting it.

I'm thinking about getting AMS' Turndown too!

This weekend I am making it a goal to shed another 50-100lbs! I'm sick of being half-assed about it!

PS. anybody got any good deals on T-case, ACD, Diff, and Tranny fluids? I'm long overdue!

*Eventually* I'm gonna get a cage to mount the harness too, but the harness' are out-dated and I don't get on any race tracks where I even need a harness yet so I'm golden.

Johan @ JRD Tuning in Hoschton, GA welded up a custom seat bracket for me with only two positions and you have to unbolt the seat to adjust.

Here are some carefully calculated equations I came up with for you:

Lag + Evo = bog off the line (not everyone, I know)
Lag + Teg = better traction then w/o Lag

or more precise equations:

Monster Turbo + Built Motor + Clean Evo = BADA$$

Monster Turbo + Built Motor + Clean Teg = BADA$$

Please, I see FWD N/A and Turbo Integras spin off the line so much.

Also, the Evo has a thing called Two Step. If I built boost off the line and dumped my clutch to all four wheels, that FWD teggy will be in my rear view mirror in no time. Done it many of times.

NOW, if the teggy finally gains traction and has a decent sized turbo, he could catch up, but if for example a 1/4 run was in effect, he would have to make up for the distance lost while he was spinning wheels off the line and the Evo had traction and was doing work. In 1/4 distance, he would have little time to catch back up and it would be close IF he was a quick teggy.


Not saying the teggy is slow, just saying AWD > FWD and I would have to see it to beleive it. Now please take this thread back on topic.

haha thanks brotha... I love the placement of the shifter now, I've got an extra set of extenders that'll work alright (bolt-hole is a little too big) if anyone wants to get rid of their center console...

But C'mon, my car doesn't hold a candle to some of the monster-daddies like Jeo, Justin, Troung, and that Yellow Awesomeness that were at H@@ters!!!!!!!
