      Little update...My car looks bit different now. We went to Poland end of August for two weeks holiday. As I have already mentioned I discovered that lacquer is peeling on my Furby. I did try to speak

      My car was tested on the track today...my handling mods were well worth it. I absolutely loved every minute I spent on the track. Now I'm off to find some track wheels and tyres, new Turbo, New FMIC

    Yes Dave...especially if you are going to replace your standard ones soon due to the wear. Mine were sh!te and needed replacing. Yes, I spent well over £250 on the SuperPro ones but these were well worth it. All suspension bushes on my car are the SuperPro ones and IMO well worth the money. You can always wait until Castle Combe in April and I can take u out for a spin... ;)

    You're right Charlie but I'm rubbish at DIY so rather buy parts, swap it and sell mine to someone who has the patience and skills ;)

    What exactly does it do Matty?

    What exactly does it do Matty?

    It holds you in one Position (CG stands for Central Gravity) so you have more control while driving and goign through the corners. I orderded two and gave one to my mate to trail it and he's really impressed.

    Basically holds your hips in place, to stop you moving about

    Not wishing to spam Mattys thread.

    Essentially Dave, it fixes the lap strap of the OEM belt, whilst retaining the inertia reel functionality of the diagonal chest strap.

    As Charlie has said, it prevents side to side rotation of the hips in the seat when pressing on in corners. It also prevents front to back movement which can help with lower back problems as it fixes and holds you more upright in your seat.

    The next best things for people what don't have buckets and harnesses :thumbup:

    sounds worth while for the track! (especially on slippy leather seats!) I'll look into it :)

    Check the Group Buy Page Dave as that's where I got mine from. It wass £10.00 cheaper comparing if u were to buy direct or via other pages.

    vrsRob is your man if u want one..:)

    Not much really happened to my car in the last few months apart from me buying the Skoda Roof Bars to carry my new MTB Bike :)
