i've got a reclinable ergo at the moment but want to go fixed back bucket for some track work, question is, for daily driving when you must wear standard seat belt; does the seatbelt fit tight on your body whilst in the fixed back? or does it sit slightly off your body due to the "deepness" of the seat?????

also, will the standard seat belt wear away the seats material due to the design of the seat and friction??

I have a full bucket seat and use, when not on track, a normal seat belt and it seems fine, but its not exactly my daily car... I would suggest getting a seat belt pad thingy for the lower belt so it doesn't rub against the seat and cause premature wear...

never been hassled by cops either...

I've got a set of sparco sprints in my 32 at the moment. They're really comfy but getting in and out is a bit of fun. At the moment the part of the seat belt that goes over the lap has to go over the side of the seats and allow me to slip forward in the seat. I'm looking at threading the belt through the holes for the harness as shown in the following ms paint drawing.

I have a sparco pro 2000, I don't find threading the belt through the holes like above is really worth the hassle, the belt holes at the sides arn't exactly easy to get to once I'm in. I want to get a harness bar for above the back seat. That way I can use either belt and it doesn't make the rear seat unusable.

hi would you be interested in selling your pair of sparco pro 2000 seats?

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
