Bloody hell that's not good at all
Of course but it should never tear like thatThe subframes and side mounts on a seat will be a one time use thing in a big crash.
Ideally replace the lot.
Of course but it should never tear like that
It's for that reason that most motorsport seat side mounts are bolted directly to cross welded box section or tube

Pretty worrying that subframe, even in a road car to be honest, let alone a rally car. As @Pauleds suggests, I'd put in a weld-in kit after this weekend. I put one in in the Escort. So much better than anything bolt in, if a bit of a pain to get lined up.
Someone on here welded some mounts in to the latest FIA spec - it might have been @Tomotek?
Yes he did.
The ones pictured above aren't allowed anymore iirc because you aren't able to weld all the way round properly or something like that. I seem to remember you have to weld the plates in and then bolt the rails to the plates?
They are a bit of a pain to weld all the way round. I have never known anyone to be pulled up for them though. It wasn't mentioned when I did an event earlier this year, but they usually only check the seat/harness/extinguisher dates and the pull cables.
A lot of cars would need new seat mounts if they banned them, that's for sure!
It's only an FIA reg, so most stuff in the UK is only MSUK.
If MSUK did chose to follow the FIA reg it would mean 1000's of people would require new mounts like you say.
It wouldn't surprise me if it comes eventually. Motorsport UK seem to have started to adopt more FIA stuff. Regardless, I'll go FIA spec in my next car just to be safe!
A shame about the issue, but you were setting decent times, which is encouraging.
Get a Sadev in this and it will be a rocket. How much does it weigh?
Have i seen this for sale somewhere?
Nothing like the buzz of over 100 down a stage with the car moving around.
Keep up all the good work.
Yeah it’s for sale at the minute as the ultimate spec rally clio has come for sale minus the engine. So if mines goes I’ll be buying that
Not his but car is pretty much identical. With a few better bits on it and steering wheel on the right side 😂Ultimate Clio, Steve Quigleys car?
Closed roads are definitely more fun than the circuit and range stuff.
Don't think I could do lhd. I know his car was a giant killer it was always quick when I seen it and got very good results. So if its better should be good!Not his but car is pretty much identical. With a few better bits on it and steering wheel on the right side 😂
Not seen anything of Steve lately, has he taken a step back?
Link to the new car?
He’s still got it. Was talk about a millington going in it but don’t think that’s happening now
I should of sent it down his door when it opened up 😂f**king chevette's lost you a good bit of time there.
That video proves why I couldn't be a co-driver - I would be losing my s**t with the guy in the Chevette lol
Looked blinkin' slippery!
