[PICS]My Sparcos, and my car in the rain[PICS]

Just got bored today, and had some time, so I snapped some photos.
No need to comment, but compliments and butt kissin' will always get you somewhere.
Anywaz, I was just bored. It was raining, so afterwords I drove around behind this building, floored it, and whipped the turn... did some good driftin'. Whelp, EnJoY!

Here's my car...

Here's a shot of my seats, and a shot of my harnesses mounted to the rear...


And here's a shot of my rear valence that got melted from doing 120mph all of the way down to L.A. at 1:30am. My friend and I made it there in 4 hours. LOL! But at the cost of melting the crap out of my rear valence.

Haha... nice! Well, you need bases, sliders, AND adapters... don't forget. And harnesses too. Enjoy the seats though!
But you're going to need a CRAZY bodykit, white wheels, and a HUGE spoiler to match those seats! LOL! J/k. man.
Can't wait to see the pics! Enjoy!

Re: [PICS]My Sparcos, and my car in the rain[PICS] (Zuber Speed)

Well, no, it's not legal. But I feel a HECK OF A LOT safer in those harnesses, than I do in ANY car now...
And no, no one sits back there now. I'm lookin' into a rollcage... That's when the backseats comeout.

Oh yeah! The harnesses are illegal because they are not DOT approved, like the scary stock seatbelts.
Are 4-points legal in Canada?

If you get seats from the "Street" line, no. If you get get "cart" or "race" seats, yes

Nice setup!
But... I'm pretty sure the belts going from the top of your Sparcos to the back seat should be horizontal (i.e. going to the top of the back seat, not the bottom). In case of a head-on it's just safer 'cause it won't pull down (hard) on your shoulders.
Maybe I'm talking out of my a**... pretty sure I read that somewhere though.

No, haven't picked up the resistors yet, but I heard that it's the Kohm resistors.. NOT the ohm resistors. Apparently you'll blow or fry some circuits if you use ohm.
The seatbelts? There's no way to run 4-points to the top of the seats. You can do 3 points though. And because they run through the slots in the seats, they will only pull BACK on you, not down.

A Jungle? YEP! LOL!

You melted your valance with your exhaust? I didn't know it got that hot, damn.. Ive singed myself on my tip on the Beretta a few times, but I never would have imagined it would melt plastic.

Streets! I'll be using the stock belts until I find out different options for a harness, I dont want to have the back seat like that
