LOL, make's it a bit easier
Something you should consider before getting harnesses with no cage;
If you were to roll the car you would be held in place, upright in your seat, by the harness. If you don't have a cage the chances of the roof collapsing are high, which could lead to serious neck injuries/broken neck, if not worse. If you have a 3-point belt you can still slide to the side, increasing the chances of avoiding this type of injury - there are many discussions on this if you google
Personally I'd suggest sticking with the oem 3-point belt with a cg lock until you have a cage fitted, at which point harnesses would be ideal.
Just my 2-cents!
Good points there bud, there might be other plans to help this situation
Alright bud,
As you know I've had the ECS 308mm 2-piece discs on the rear for the last 4 years, I'm currently running them alongside the EBC Ultimax fronts after wearing out the ECS 312mm fronts. The difference in the braking balance is very noticeable, you really feel the erse digging in when you stand on them. I totally agree with what Rob said about flatter braking.
For brake bias etc our cars don't have a rear load proportioning valve, instead the ABS unit sorts it all out.
The Wavetrac diff differs from the Peloquin and Quaife in the way it sorts out the ATB. The mechanical diffs work by torque multiplication across the axle, so if one wheel can only manage 'X' %age, the diff multiplies this and sends it to the one with better grip.
Only problem is if you either have one wheel on a very low friction surface or worse, in the air. There will be ZERO torque on one side for the diff to multiply, and, if my primary school maths are still valid, anything x zero is still zero!
The Wavetrac has internal preload in the form of carbon discs which ensure there is always some force for the diff to work against and then multiply as needed.
Simples!
Aye bud, if it wisna for you I might not have known about these diffs, hats of to you sir
Cheers for the info Shaun, good links. The guy Paul was selling his car in bits, I tried to by his GB and a few other things but he sold the car in 1 piece.
TBH Carbon fibre panels is quite a bit away for me.
I'm not too sure about door cards TBH, I'm just going to strip it all out and take it from there.
Battery will be done soon.
As for the bonnet I'm planning on cutting out the bracing on the bonnet first but also carbon fibre bonnet is quite a bit off for me.
not too sure about flocking dash, might just matt black spray it
