What did the harness cost you in NZ Chris B?

Can you get the bar under the seat too?

Paul. It's those bucket seats are your problem mate. They are for skinny chicks aye and they have limited lumber which all explains your soreness. Harnesses don't make you faster but they are a good idea for safety especially in a car with half cage Like yours. You must buy a neck restraint too. You would be mad as a family to put a harness in without IMO.

I don't think you'll gain much from a geo other than better tyre water at the expense of road drive ability but the 221s I should think will be fractionally quicker than the Trofeo R but they are probably the closest comparable tyre on the market today and are a fair it lighter than the Z221 which are heavy. I should imagine you can get below 14.5 that way.

I you are serious on 6 points I know a set of new Porsche spec Schroth HANS variant that may not be being used. Email me...

They haven't been installed yet, we had a Racetech seat in the Cayman today which came out of the 944. From memory the Sparco harness was $435. If you buy a seat and harness he gives a 10% discount and the Sparco harnesses are $420+GST before the discount.

You would think after 2 1/2 years of learning the hard way we would be smarter than the average bear, but it appears that we are hard wired to repeat the same actions. The scary part is that it's escalating. I spent an hour or so last night with Dave while we sorted out BB2. It appears that there's no longer a limit to how many cars is 'normal'.

May have missed them but are there any pics either here or over on RSG of Chris' new weapon?
If not how about it Chris, for those that are not in AKL attending trackdays

It seems pointless these days to post pictures on rennlist unless they are 150-300kb re sized. Its crews the page up something massively and I suspect most of us are praying for the next page I wish they would sort this out. After 13 years i may stop paying my subscription until they do - but actually i dont think they have billed me for a while now so perhaps they know!

P.S. Update on the Rego thing. I got an email from ACC at the scheduled time saying they need until 12 August to look into it as they have been swamped with complaints!

Macca, I rarely use a desktop or laptop. On the iPad and iPhone there is no image issue.

I hear you John. I love the laptop as I can type faster but I agree the iPad is the way to go especially with the crappy iPhone interface and the Apache resizing issue.

I think the owners of Internet a Brands must be Apple Inc lol!

Got some pics Chris?
