My car so far

Still exactly the same function as a normal seatbelt, just a tighter lap section.

Seen some good reviews around some forums from people that use them. Try it next time you are out, pull the lap section tighter for a bit, it does feel nicer. Especially when pushing on. It goes slack again tho pretty quickly (Without a cg-lock). I don't have one by the way, just thought it could be a safer alternative.

i think it looks a really nice car bar the harnesses. 
but i'm with the crowd of 'cage + harnesses or nothing at all'.
this thread is sadly spoilt by the the OP getting the arse about people ripping the car a bit. if you post on here you should expect comments - good or bad.

Yeah im following his progress closely, if i were keeping mine I'd go down the same route.
Mines roughly the spec his was before he took it all to bits again and its quick enough!
But yeah £100 for a manifold on saxo

Im sorry but I get like that when people dont listen and make stupid digs ,
Looks great imo. Where's the spark plug cover gone though?
Carbon one on its way
As for the harness as posted by others I dont use it for road use as the original seatbelt is still in place and wearing a harness I think would draw to much unwanted attention

I like these, but harnesses IMO do look rather halfordsfied.
Sorry, but that is complete bull. I would put money on that being on a rather steep hill or on rollers.
Take it from someone who has done a sub 6 launch in a FWD car, it is nothing like that. It is impossible to completely eliminate wheelspin when you are that much on the limit of what is possible with the traction available. In fact, although I dont have a video of me doing it, I do have the images of the road and the effects of doing the launch on it.
These are what I like to call my launch and 2nd gear marks.
I don't think Halfords sell harnesses, they are motorsport parts.
Many moons ago, I bought my 'for motorsport only' decat from a branch of Halfords.
You judge a launch by tyre marks left on a particular surface? Interesting theory Sherlock.
Such comments show your lack of experience and knowledge in the fact you expect all FF cars to act the same! If only things were so simplistic. In future if you don't have facts to hand perhaps refrain from commenting?
I can assure you that 0-60 was done in a real environment on a flat road, with timing gear, on a stock car. FACT.
You may ask "why didn't you show the road", that would make what I was doing illegal and I'd be providing the evidence. I've had a ban and enough points to NOT want to incriminate myself with a 'willy waving' video on the net thank you very much.
So unless it's constructive you might be inclined to keep you 'bull' to yourself.
No points for observation there.
Take a look again, notice shadows moving on the dials and fascia? Would that not suggest the cars in motion? Indeed it would.
Just to prove a point for the Internet experts...
Wheel hop created by an uncontrolled release of the clutch (dump); as a result over 7 seconds to hit 60mph. I created that video as an example of how most people would 'launch' their FF cars and to be honest thats how most people would assume an FF to behave.
