    Aftermarket steering wheel combo

    looks very interesting. be good to hear how it handles Having major issues deciding on mine, have a 350mm flat at the moment, but as I have a fixed Corbeau sprint seat, its a bit tricky getting in and out. So thought deep dish may help, then get suede, then maybe smaller than 350mm- 330mm or...

    Which harness

    Got my harnesses secured to the floor on existing threaded bolt hole and they seem secure as heck Now I read that they can cause "compression of spine" if an accident occurs, so what I do.... unravel the latch, undo the wrapping and then try wrap it round the cage bars? Anyone local who knows...

    Which harness

    just fitted a 6 point harness to my Corbeau bucket seat, and that central aircraft style release is a pain to get all the (4 at the moment as crotch belts not fitted yet) belt buckles in at once. Is there a knack or just fiddle? Also- got a brand new unbranded one from ebay, and had a drifting...

    Reducing heat in engine bay on track car

    You may have just answered something from my last spin out round Donnington at FCS. Went a bit mad and stayed out for 25mins or so (Caused a few issues as in tyres and brakes) but also looked like power steering chamber had liquid all over it- could that be what your referring too?

    Which sesh you plump for in the end. 13.20 for me, not so much of me being a novice, more to do with not wanting to thrash the car to keepup with everyone else, as much. Lots long straight at Silverstone, better for the bigger motors.
