Aaron - Change your harness point foryour right hand side strap to the mount on the rear arch, saves having 2 straps going through the same point.

My car went through scrutineering over the weekend and my harnesses were deemed safe.

For referance though - as per the 2010 MSA blue book, shoulder straps on harnesses are prefered to be 90 degrees horizontal, +/- 10 degrees, BUT anything up to 55 degrees below horizontal is acceptable.

Page 30 of the PDF or 189 for the actual document

thanks for the comments guys

the screamer is heat wrapped and i turned the pipe round and it gave itmore room.

ill get 'the dentist' to map it.

put canards on and sprayed the mirrors black as the leftmirrorwas a terrible spray job.

UPDATE:

well the car has not been used much,due to being off the road for 8 weeks waiting on a gearbox and other bits,..then a drunk woman smashing the windows with a baseball bat.

first to be replaced was the windscreen with blue tint glass

picc.jpg

while i was fitting the aluminium civic rad where the botom of the screamer pipe sits is bang on with the top of the bottom rad hose,so i thought ,...itd be rude not to make it a side exit screamer

the screamer sounds so much better out the side,very raspy.

ill get a video up once the rear window is sorted as i love the sound of the exhaust too,best ive heard on my starlets imo.

next plans for the car is to buy decent tyres,bigger injectors, vf23 (from a mate), fpr, mappable ecu and a map at 1.5bar.

then ill be concentrating on bars and braces inc. arb ect.

once i get a chance to clean it ill put fresh pics up.

few pics after a clean.

i took my heatwrap off the manifold after reading a post on how having so much head that close to the head can cause seals ect to break.

after the drunk woman smashing my windows, i got a replacement boot,tho black,got damaged in freight,bit i had a bin bag as a rear window for 2months.
