If he likes tracking his E93 a lot and wants to run bucket seats, this is the only way to go.

Using an E93 as a track car is a whole other story. But I'm sure there are guys in spec miatas looking at my pig E92 M3 with a cage and thinking the same thing. It's all relative.

this could have be the heaviest E9X

I can't say I am a fan of the roll cage and seat. Everything else looks good

We appreciate all comments, but to each of its own. Customer holds the right to make the full decisions for his own vehicle. We are here to provide the services that customer requested for, but not to interfere customers' decisions. Also to clear some of your questions and concerns,

1. Yes, the customer does track his vehicle with a crew of local track enthusiasts. We understand the weight concerns, but customer is not seeking to compete with his friends on the track rather friendship time enjoyment and passion.

2. We did our best to adjust the GTHAUS exhaust. Its the design of the exhaust that we can't unfortunately do much about.

3. The bar is custom made bolt in not AutoPower, can be removed and reinstalled at anytime.

4. Customer is doing one seat only due to the girlfriend. Girlfriend wants to keep the heated seat and comfort.

5. Back seats were removed, but put back for pictures only. Customer wanted the seats to be back in for pictures.

6. Seattle weather has been terrible with the rain and customer was running late for the photoshoot. Customer and photographer were meeting out for the shoot, which photographer didn't expect the vehicle would show up without a wash.

Where did you put the foot plates for the roll bar stantions. Im asking how you managed to work it in around the deployable system already in place.

"....he removed his factory seat which has the built-in roll protection."

Wrong.

The e93's roll-over protection protection is behind the rear seat headrests. Removing the front driver's seat only removes the integral seat belt system, which is why one needs a bar or harness setup. This begs the question: why a bolt in roll bar? Removing it might clear up the rear seats for use but then the driver has no seat belt.

Looks awesome, I love that steering wheel!

[Ezio]

tastefully modded in lack there off

reminds me of a jeep

[monkawekrue]

nice steering wheel.

I'm not going to jump on the negative bandwagon but please study the proper way to strap the harnesses to the roll bar. The harness is installed incorrectly making a questionable set-up even more unsafe. It always surprises me when people go through all the trouble of installing seats and harness bars, then turn around and install the harnesses incorrectly.

It looks right to me, unless I am missing something, are you talking about where it loops around the horizontal cage bar>?

See the link below. Look on page two and you will see that there are very specific instructions for how to wrap the Shoulder Belts around the harness bar along with every clip in the harness system (you don't just throw them on in a way that looks OK). Three things to note that I can see in the pictures:

1 - Shoulder Belts should be wrapped tightly around the harness bar and the 3-bar adjuster is located against the bar (NOT loosely attached with the 3-bar adjuster clip located on the occupants chest with 2' of slack like the subject car).

2 - Harness wrap is done in a specific way which allows for a third pass through the 3-bar adjuster to lock the shoulder belt into place. (Subject shoulder strap doesn't have the third pass through to lock it into place. And again the 3-bar adjuster is incorrectly located on the occupants chest 2' away from the harness bar.)

3 - The excess strapping is coiled and secured with a zip tie (not loosely hanging on the occupants lap like the subject car)

1. Good
2. Look at mega expensive Supersprint people. They don't always fit like oem either. First hand experience here!
3. Will the guy be using racing harness all the time? If just regular seat belt, please let him know it's safer to run without a roll bar. Plus I think the harness are too high or is it the shot angle? Aren't they are suppose to be the same height as the harness holes and shoulder of the driver.
4. No seat reclining!!! LOL Absolutely! Queen nag kills. But should of get black to match. It is a bit of an eye sore.
5. Is there a back seat delete kit? To make it look clean?
6. LOL! Just hire a couple ladies and photoshoot them washing the car! I bet all the flaming comments wouldn't have happened. But will seriously go bad if the ladies aren't hot.

[Evice]

Not a cage.

[MParallel]

Reminds me of Adam Khans E36 M3 vert, which was nice untill he fitted a similar half cage.

Ps can you legally use thy Nürburgring track logo for a company? Besides the non-relation to it.
