Darkside · 07-22-2008, 06:02 PM

I think it looks sick without the red wheel stripe

FLuXeXigeS · 07-22-2008, 06:04 PM

no more space for the red pin stripe, i kinna wanted it on

but also agree with Darkside, i think the red pin stripe was getting played out, so i went with the all black look again

thanx y'all

FLuXeXigeS · 07-23-2008, 06:13 PM

just got back from the Paladin/Sector 111 open house and i just want to say THANX!!!

it was great seeing old and new faces and finaly getting to meet the shop guys (Shinoo, Abel and Reza)etc.

and on top of that i walked out with a harness bar and harnesses courtesy of sector111(parts) and paladin(labor)

just added:
Safecraft 3" harness (driver and passenger)

and a Sector111 harness bar with their mount kit

Flash G · 09-06-2008, 11:05 PM

Those wheels are sweet! Nice job.

FLuXeXigeS · 09-06-2008, 11:32 PM

^thanx flash!

plastique999 · 09-07-2008, 12:11 AM

Nice to see your progress in this thread!
Curious why you didn't go with "red" harnesses to match the car?

FLuXeXigeS · 09-07-2008, 01:09 AM

those particular ones are only available in black, which was my 2nd color of choice, so it doesnt bother me much, im thinking of only using 2 colors inside the car (black and the bare aluminum look) LOL

some minor interior mods coming soon!
and
minor re-tune of the susp set up before the SV autoX event

thanx!

I wanted to go to the open house, but I'm in NYC... nice work on the safety equipment, you'll feel much more comfortable at the auto-x! BTW, is the Safecraft harness DOT legal?

I just finished putting in the Schroth 6pt harness with Sector's sys.6.pack... I cut slots in the Exige seats and had a local custom upholstery place sew in leather surrounds... I also ponied up for a carbon fiber Hans device with a sliding tether... anticipating track days...

FLuXeXigeS · 09-07-2008, 06:23 PM

not sure if the Safecraft are DOT

but i like what you did to the seats...i am no means "skinny" so changing to more aggressive seats is out of the question, plus i drive my car on the street a lot

any tips on how you did the 5th/6th point hole in the seats would be greatly appreciated!

i got a good local interior guy that can reskin it

thanx

I cut a 1" x 6" slot in the bottom of the seats just in front of the metal crossmember... I used a Dremel with the metal cutting disk (the fiberglass is pretty thick under the seats, probably 3/16ths of an inch) to cut the slot. I only cut the fiberglass... not the leather. Then I brought it to Jim's Auto Upholstery (recommended by my local custom car audio dealer) to do the leather work. The Sector111 sys.6.pack is a pretty easy install...

Here's what the sys.6.pack looks like under the car... (the seats and sub belts are now bolted straight through the tub)

FLuXeXigeS · 09-07-2008, 07:51 PM

kool thanx, i will have to check your car out at the SV event on the 20th
