Nice pics =) will definatly keep those =)

Quote from danowat :

Nope, its just a general ring day

Woohoo =) Mind if I.. uhh wait my wife and I are getting back from the USA on the 25th, that won't work. Dang ahwell next time =)

Supposedly my car run mid 8 minute laps around the ring, but I wanted to see for myself =) Maybe in June or July I will go, depending on the the UK track-days.

Quote from danowat :

Camera's and tank camera's have all been sorted, a group of 8 of us are going for 3 days, weekend the 26th May, so it should be good.

Expect pics and video's shortly after we get back

This a bike day only? =P I will have my car then and I want to hit the ring with it =)

I believe certian tracks are weighted but yes it's random last I heard.

Quote from JamesK :

12 laps into the evening too ... my fingers can only take a couple of those a night before they start aching, lol.

Someone needs to buy a wheel =)

Well the last track I would like to see is blackwood, that track is played to death and it's just not really that fun. I would prefer a track that not many people usually race on, and provide some close racing, Like AS cadet =)

It's evening out pretty well, maybe drop the lowest 3 and run again?

Glad your ok =) that could have gone really bad =)

LOL yeah =)

Working on one of the military comms site we have had a few calls for this because the tyre flew parallel to the M40 over our site =)

Quote from Hyperactive :

Just rip the backseats off

Quote from JTbo :

Those Viper seats are nice indeed

Too much humidity and that stuff started to grow up in my interior, now has been too cold to do anything about it (-20C)

I will leave adjustment rails in if I get bucket seats in, even I need to keep adjustment as back as it goes already, I'm tall

Hmm, we certainly would need that real car section here, devs could pick lot of good stuff from there too

Oh yes, horror of rear seat, that is lot of work to fix all that

Ouch yeah =) Did you put that car in a lake or something? =P

Hmm a real car section would be nice, I will ask the moderators =)

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Sounds perfectly balanced to me

Hehe yeah perfectly UNbalanced... =)

Ouch no those seats are horrible. Here are the seats I have in my car, thought I would add some more while I was at it =)

Yes you would need to put backing plates onto the other side to prevent them from coming through, but I guess you could do it that way I would prefer seats that are adjustable so you dont lose the practicality of it though.

Quote from JTbo :

Yep, it is really lot what you move even wearing normal seatbelt, just look this crash test and imagine if there would be no airbags.

Then if you would have good seat and proper racing harness bolted to floor you would not move forward from seat really, so I think that good racing harness with good seat is better than normal seat belts even without roll cage.
However Hans device would be quite nice to have then

Yes if the seat was very securly fastened to the chassis then yeah it would be a good way to go but the only problem is finding good places to mount the racing harness =)

Here is a link to what I was talking about... the CG-lock

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Indeed. GTR2 can't even get the sound to come from the right direction (rear engined cars still have the sound come from the front of the car - turn your head right, and the sound comes from the left on all cars).

LOL never really noticed, I hate the Porsche's and their under/oversteer at the same time feeling. I can hardly cope with one at a time nevermind both =)

Quote from 11SuLLy11 :

ok but it that situation u dnt go speeding in a car like that its to low to be arsing around like that !its for just cruising around !if i wanted to go speeding around i would take my dads 4.2 ltr petrol a8

ture, it's all about personal taste, if you like it be happy about it and not let people drag you down =)

ohh yes I didn't mean to say that rollcages are the end all be all of safety gear. They do help but they don't protect 100% I was just refering to what you stated about factory seats in older vehicles and probably in some of the newer ones aswell not having enough bonding done to prevent the seat from moving and flexing =)

The newer cars should be ok though and shouldn't have too much of a problem. It's just that without a CG-lock under heavy Gforces like braking you can slide forward in the belt a bit decreasing your ability to drive the vehicle. I notice this in my car when I am under heavy brakes... I am using the deadpedal to keep myself in the seat and not concentrating on braking as much =)

Still I think for cars without a rollcage the best safety you could get restraint wise is the factory equiped 3 point belt. Once you get a rollcage you can properly mount a racing harness without posing much of a risk of falling out of the harness under stresses, IE like a crash =)

Quote from JTbo :

Actually it can be that guy that hit wall at 20mph did wear his seatbelt, but as seatbelt tensioners are relatively new, there could be very well some loose or then when moving backwards after seatbelt has stopped body moving forwards head hit B-pillar.

Those seatbelt tensioners do really a lot in modern car, idea is bit same as multi point harness, where body is not allowed to move so it does not gain momentum, so stress to your body is much less.

I had seatbelt on as I was passenger seat in our Opel Kadett (old rwd) when that rolled, but surely I remeber how I slipped away from seatbelt as it was so loose, after that can't remember a thing, waked up after few weeks in hospital.

Hmm thats very possible =)

I find it very funny that people will go with a the aftermarket 3 and 4 point harness systems for their cars when they don't have a rollcage most of them don't work the greatest and the best option for anyone using their daily driver on a track should consider a CG-lock that locks the lap belt in tight while keeping the shouler loose =)

The best restraints for a car without a rollcage hands down is the factory seatbelts, at least in the newer cars =)

Dodge SRT-4 ACR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_SRT-4 IE worlds fastest FWD production car =)

Sounds like he wasn't wearing his seatbelt.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

24) Withdraw Yorkshire from the United Kingdom, develop a large clone army in secret laboratories, then invade Norway.

LOL someone has an active imagination

Man, luckily he had a rollcage or he would have been a pancake =)

23: Become a driver in a professional racing division =) (doesn't matter which one really =)

It looks, um...great... yeah =)

I am not big into the radical bodykits, all I am intested in is how fast it will go and from the sounds of it that engine is stock, man i would hate to be that engine all that extra weight with the bodykits and the subs, the subs alone probably add a couple hundered pounds no wonder the car only does 95 down the motorway!

If you like being a showoff then it's the car for you but I would hate to be you when someone wants to race you. they would probably think that you forgot to let the mice out of the cage before the light turned green.

I am picking on it but don't let that get you down, if you like it then forget what other people think. Their opinions don't mean squat if you get a nice warm fuzzy feeling when you walk up to your car.
