For clarifications! one harness for the driver side and another one can be used for the passenger side, not two for driver and another two for passanger.

After a SAU member brought to my intention in regards of harnesses validaty after the year stated on the harness, I decided to do more research to clarify what I know w/ respect to the Cams Rules & Regulations and FIA interpretation. In addition, I've contacted two professional national track participants, and they also confirmed what I am going to share w/ you shortly. Furthermore, I surfacely touched the ADRPG rules regarding the harnesses requirements on the tracks. At the end of the day, all sites I visited refer back to the Cams rules.

Briefly, Takata has stated on the harnesses I have "Not Valid after 2010." Based on the Cams rules, the harnesses are still good for use in any events (except of international ones) until 31st of Dec 2015 but after being inspected by event organisers/inpectors. The inspectors usually look for worn harnesses, damaged latches, etc... As long as the harnesses are not torn, not damaged, have working latches, all stitches there, etc..., the harnesses are good to go for the event.

Even after 31st of Dec 2015, you still can use them outside of the track for your show car if you like.

I am attaching a couple of documents to show you what I found in Cams and also from other sites. In these documents, I've circled and underlined key points of the matter. You can also look into it as well if interested and let me know if I missed anything.

As I said before, the harnesses were hardly used, not brand new, genuine, and they do not show any signs of wear, tear, damage, etc... If you want to buy a brand-new genuine Takata harnesses (dated 2015 and above), expect to spend around $600 dollars or more for each set.

Hope this clarifies it.

Thanks,

Lou

Got tired of accepting offers and then people do not bother responding. If you are not up to it, please do not waste my time. Thanks.

Should have an accurate description of what is being recieved. Not waiting

for an offer to be made then adding "by the way these wont be included".

Also after checking progress of recent sales, accuracy of other item descriptions (misleading information on Recaro seats) and previous sales history Im no longer confident in transferring funds. I cant be the only trader with these views, evidence being the difficulty you are having selling items and constant questions of authenticity.

Please do not waste my time. Thanks

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
