Nice vids. You would be safer if you turned in later...less sliding.

Nice pics and video. What the video using the GoPro? I liked how you saved one potential spin in text book fashion Correct-Pause-Recover. Agree with a later turn in, but at least you have good car control. You drive way above my risk tolerance. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the reply

Is this your car ?

Do you have pics of the inside ?

I'll be installing the same seats in 2 weeks, just want to see how they look like

The cross hanging from the rear view mirror works well as a g-force meter.
