MOT Passed. Advisory on a tyre and brake pipes starting to corrode. Those will get done when i come back my holidays.scotta wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2019 1:52 pm MOT due on the Elise this week so im dropping it off at the specialist today. Had a poke about it last week and the offside front ARB droplink seemed to have a smidge of play in. Had been getting a high speed knock at around 90 on track so i think thats the cause. Ordered one on Thursday for next day and fitted it. Nearside seems fine for the moment so ill keep the new one for a spare. Took around 40 mins to change which would have been around 30 had i bothered to clean up the threads on the bolts. The inner bolt rounded when the nut got to the end of the thread so the dremmel cutting disk saw a bit action.
In other news ive bought a set of Willans Harnesses and a harness bar for it so thats a project for the weekend.
Yep, you need proper seats or they're just dangerous.
Think the grommets in the originals is what I'm going to do. I intend to leave the inertia reels for road use also.ste wrote: ↑Thu Jul 04, 2019 5:12 pmYep, you need proper seats or they're just dangerous.
I had one with the grommets cut into the original seats.
They worked OK, but honestly, the seats arent designed to take those loads and I wasn't completely happy about them. It's partly why I re-fitted the 3 point belt and took the harnesses out. Plus i was just using the blue one for commuting.
Have bought and fitted / used some of the Corbeaus and some of the Tillets, all work to varying degrees.
Just fill the new filter with diesel and you won’t have a problem. Once started give it 1500rpm or so for a few seconds and job jobbed.
If the harness is at such an angle it could crush the seat, it's wrongly mounted in the first place. I was more concerned that the top of the seat could just snap off, failing its job as a head restraint, and leaving some nice sharp splinters to go into your neck.
That was my thoughts too - who the fuck would even consider the idea of cutting holes in a car seat!?Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 10:03 am the top of the seat could just snap off, failing its job as a head restraint, and leaving some nice sharp splinters to go into your neck.
Its still going to be better than the current solution of wearing the inertia reel belts on track. Although broken splintered seats isnt a desirable thought either.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Fri Jul 05, 2019 10:03 amIf the harness is at such an angle it could crush the seat, it's wrongly mounted in the first place.
