I don’t see any issue with using a HANS style FHR with them. They have done their own sled testing, ands found they worked well. But I can see an issue of you are in a group that has rules requiring an SFI or FIA compliance FHR setup, because the... (see full post)
Agreed. I’ve always approached the Quick Fit Pro question at tech from this perspective - they are a FMVSS209 approved OEM seatbelt replacement, not a safety harness. For me, the benefit is there is no expiry date for them. Just watch for chafing... (see full post)
You may want to double check this, as a lot of clubs make an exception for the 4-point Schroth QuickFit system as it has anti-submarining tech built in. It's designed to work with the stock interior and factory Recaros and you don't need a...
I finally got in touch with Bob and he had a really bad fall and went into the ER thinking he had blown out his knee. Once there they found out his fall he had actually broken his ankle extremely severe and after a long surgery he has been kept...
That’s why I have the Continental Sports on stock wheels for street use and track tires on Apex 19x11 wheels. I have to buy new track tires every year BUT if I took it easy at the track they would last more then a season of Track Nights. My track...
I rebuilt the rear in mine last summer complete with a Detroit True Track and 4.10 Ford Performance gears without removing it from the car. It can be done, but in hindsight it would have been easier and quicker to remove the whole housing...
Thanks Blacksheep. That’s great! After some review of the spreadsheet and my min/max corner speeds, I think I’ve finally decided on the FRP 4.10 gear set and their rebuild kit for the diff clutches. As much of a pain as it will be to pull the... (see full post)
If you already have rpm data for your track, you can use the ratios between current and proposed gears to find new rpm. For instance, 3.73 is 1.0507 shorter than 3.55 (simply 3.73 divided by 3.55), if you're at 6000 rpm at the end of a straight...
Yes. I’ll be doing a full setup on it. I’ve got some experienced local help here, but it’s worth noting for anyone else not familiar with setting up new rear end gears that there is way more to it than just unbolting and reinstalling the parts... (see full post)
Thanks. I’ve found a couple online since I posted. I’m going to build a spread sheet from there I think unless someone has one already built. (see full post)
So I’m about to order a new set of rear gear and pinion. The current 3.55 ratio is too long for my track- on a warm day, I’m in 3rd for all except one slow speed corner in 2nd. So I’m hoping to look at where my RPMs are going to be at my current...
