Race seat back in, shit is getting real.

For those curious, it's a Bride Zeta III Plus, made for people bigger than the average Japanese racer.

Seats look bulldog. Comfy enough to sit in them for 3 hours without getting back cancer?

It's not bad, much more comfy compared to the usual Zeta seats. Space wise, I would say it's comparable to the Recaro Pole Position (waist, arse area) but with a larger top area for broader shoulders.

I have a bad back, and any car seat that's not OEM will give me back pain in about a hour.

Is there a passenger one coming? It has to match Farken!

I'm planning on going twin recliners. So yes there will be matched seats, but not a pair of fixed buckets.

This is just a stop gap until I get a pair of recliners.

Maybe Recaro Sportster CS 😍

Got a set of them in the mrs focus rs, awesome seats but a bit of a pain to get out of at times

They are, but for some light track work, they offer decent support. I used to have a Recaro SR3 in the shit box and it was hopeless for Wakefield. I would be trying to push myself into the seat another corners instead of trying to steer.

It’s only a 14 mm socket x 4 bolts to change them.

 

mix and match for what the duty is. 🤷‍♂️

It's a space thing, will now need to leave the stock seat at the in laws.

That’s a harness thing. Having good seats is one thing, being stuck in them is another

Yes and no, the Zeta 3 Plus holds very well for lateral movement when compared to a Recaro SR3 or a Bride Brix (used them both also real ones not fake ones).

I agree a harness will improve being planted in the seat.

Speaking of harnesses, are there any plans for half cage and harness?

There are plans for it, been a plan for a while lol.

I really should just do it, mainly for safety. Especially now I'll be easily doing 220 to 230km/h down the mainstraight at Wakefield Park (provided it even stays open now due to all the issues they're having).

Just make sure if you get a harness you get a HANS. Then there's all sorts of extra things to consider like a helmet net and proper collared seat and etcccccccccccc.

Just adding 1 can be less safe than adding 0, but I am sure you know that already.

Ohh noooos, it's only just got all nice and shiny.....and working.....again

When you going to take it to WSID and race me for a bag of donuts

RWD JDM speed boat vs RWD AUD cruise ship

No drag radials, but semi-slicks are GTG

I've also got a tilt tray on speed dial so we are both good there....🤣

My current AGV helmet is looking rather sad, will definitely get modernised gear soon enough. 

Can't put a price on safety.

100000% this 

A helmet with Hans post can be found for 450ish (racelids) but bell is around 1100ish last time looked and a Hans around 400. Definitely get harness suited for Hans 2 inch over Hans back to 3inch as heaps more comfortable. The raceworks/mvp ones are good value and buckles/adjusters are nice. 

Looking forward to hearing how it goes on track. Going to pretty quick on the straight.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
