Holy *****. I should of took the stock exhaust off years ago. There is so much room back there now. I did a bumper tuck while I was back there. Might add some washers but I'll see how the screws hold up

My setup is some no-name resonated test pipes, stock Y pipe, and ISR single. Sounds pretty nice and has a deep tone. I was always afraid to mess with the exhaust because a lot of them sound like ****.

 

Finished up mounting the harness. Ended up using the original driver side lap belt mount. Drilled and mounted the passenger side in an identical spot on the trans tunnel.

For the sub belts, mounted a 1/4 piece of steel to the seat base under the carpet. Wrapped the harness around it just like the shoulder straps. Got everything adjusted, including the Hans. Just about ready for Road America in a couple weeks.

 

Noticed my rear tires are sometimes rubbing the fender lip.

Going to try the $40 Amazon fender tool and hope it lasts enough to do 2 sides. Other than that, ready for Road America this weekend.

 

You should run eye bolts and clips on your sub belts. Do not loop the belts around non round metal. They will cut through over time. That plate should be the same on the back side and welded.

 

Agreed on the eye bolts under the seat. Kinda ran out of time so this was my fast solution to get me by for a few sessions.

 

Fenders rolled and she's loaded up. 90% sure I broke the tool as I was finishing up the last pass. 40 bucks well spent

 

Pretty happy with everything. I went 4 seconds faster with the new suspension set up. The car feels a lot better. The seat and harness made a world of difference as well.

I did manage to get the front brakes smoking hot so, I'm looking into making some cooling ducts before the next session.

Trans temps were still a little high but not as bad as before and it didn't throw me into limp mode at all. I currently have the fan wired up to the radiator fans, I might switch to a manual toggle switch.

I also picked up a slight driveline or wheel ticking. It goes with the RPMs so it should be pretty easy to find. The ISR exhaust was close to the driveshaft, hoping I didn't tear it up.

Glad to see you got em in, did you weld the plate for the inner side sub belt that went in the trans tunnel? Or how did you mount it after drilling?

 

I just put a big washer on the eye side and did a plate and lock nut on the inside.

 

Wrap is almost done and I started a DIY brake cooling project. Turning out pretty good so far.

 

Just finished a track day and the ducts seemed to work just fine. Nothing came loose and the brakes didn't end up smoking after a session.

Probably won't update this anymore. Its been pretty damn dead anyways.

 

Where did you get the flange that you attached to the backing plate? That looks pretty good. Thanks.

 

Great info in the thread, sucks it's not more active.

Like this cooling setup. Where are those tubes running to pickup airflow? They just open underneath?

 

Kinda pricey but they are pretty nice.

I cut holes in the bumper and mounted some intake ducts to the front of it.

 

that really looks like a very nice setup. Not sure how i missed the last couple updates but great work.

 

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

 

Seemed like a few people were interested. So here is a pic of the duct before final mounting and wrap.

 

simple and very effective

 

APR GTC 300 mounted and installed. I didn't want to chassis mount it just yet, so I reinforced the hatch the best I could. We'll see how it holds up.

Rousch sides, pretty straight forward. Made some brackets to attach it instead of relying on push just push in clips.

Front splitter is 3mm dibond. It has 8 mounting points (not all pictured) and is riveted to the bumper. Should be sturdy enough. Canards on the way. (I debated on making my own then decided it was too complex haha)
