[Peperami]

So welded to top mounts through bulkhead etc etc?

 

[madmike1]

[LeeP86]

nope not welded to top mounts, ive fitted about 5 in my life.

 

[Peperami]

Ah ok.

 

[d4ve86]

what do you need help with? where to fit? how to fit?

you will need to hack up your dash...

 

[madmike1]

i need help to fit it
the car has no interieor no dash no steering wheel no doors but still cant get it in which angle does it need to be at?

 

[LeeP86]

we found alot of the time it was easier to have the windscreen out.

 

[madmike1]

[LeeP86]

[madmike1]

i bought it from someone on here

 

[LeeP86]

i aint done one for while so cnt remember exactly, is it new or used? what colour is it?

 

[madmike1]

used its grey

 

[LeeP86]

if its dark grey like anthracite it was probably me who took it out of the last car it was in, where bouts are you? id take the screen out fully now its been broken.

 

[madmike1]

its the same kind of grey as hologram grey. the cars in manchester. yeh i think im gona have to try it with the screen out.

 

[LeeP86]

yea must have come from the team i work for, yea take screen out mate and it should be fine, if you were closer id come help you out.

 

[madmike1]

[LeeP86]

[LeeP86]

[madmike1]

cool, do you know of any race teams that will take on part time students? im looking for a place to work on mon tues n wed. im doing motorsports technology at uni but am only in on thurs n fri this year

 

[LeeP86]

where bouts mate?

 

[madmike1]

around cheshire but im willing to travel around an hour away

 

[LeeP86]

mmm i can ask around mate mite be able to get you something at race meetings which is where alot of smaller teams need people and the weekends are the most fun alot of the work during the week is boring.

 

[madmike1]

yeh that would be great. i do the setup work and race preperation at my placement at uni on a porsche 997 gt3 rsr thats running in le mans but i havent had chance to go to any of the races so getting to the race meetings would be ideal

 

[LeeP86]

[Ian_182]

How easy are these to live with,like getting in and out once fited

 

[madmike1]

well theyre not really for the road or anything so once your in you should be strapped in and on the track but theyre not really that hard to get into and out of unless your quite old lol
