Track forum general chit chat.

Also got a few new track badges. I was going to put the streets above big willow like it is in real life, but it was too big and looked weird.

Has anyone configured their Schroth QFP's with a sub-belt? I checked mine and they do allow for a single-clip anti-sub strap to connect in, Schroth Anti-sub Straps

My plan would be to swap in a driver's side one-piece seat at some point before/after each track event. It sounds painful I know but I dont do that many events per year and it would only be one side (mostly solo now).

This EAS install video makes it look fairly easy also, LINK

do anti-sub harnesses only work with the lower anti-sub straps? or do the lower straps supplement an anti-sub harness?

The HMS description seems to imply they work together:
"Substraps play an integral role in harness safety, especially in harnesses without ASM. If yours is frayed or has been comprimised you need a new one. If you have a 4 point competition style harness with ASM and are looking to upgrade, the substrap is the easiest way to satisfy most sanctioning bodies."

I've emailed them to confirm though, will let you know.

BTW, for this to work I also need a seat that allows the seat belt receptacle to pass through the transmission tunnel side pass-thru. Not sure how possible that is yet.

Edit: One example here: LINK

Or if I could just souce an M4 GTS seat, M4 GTS Recaro Profi

Pick up some GoJacks and it'll slide around easy.

Won't go up the driveway loaded. And it's part of my workout program. Also kinda hard to use the lift on top of the trailer.

Do you use those? Thought about picking some up to make more room in the garage.

I used to when I had an Elise. They work great. PM me if you want to buy them. They are still like new.

dogbone, was your girodisc pad spreader a good investment? anyone else on here have one? is it as easy as it is described to be?

i have had this one on order from amazon twice now (the first order was cancelled after it wasn't fulfilled after 30 days).

Wow, you still haven't gotten one? This thing is pretty good, though I think it would work better on the fronts if I turn the wheel so that the caliper faces outward. It's kind of a PITA since there's not a lot of room to work with.

i have a little more room to work with since my kit is smaller. i've been trying to get one since i saw you use yours, but everywhere seems to be out of stock. amazon has the best pricing i have found at about $59 shipped.
the giro disc looks convenient, but it is almost four times the cost.

I've had the Lisle for a year or so, works great, no regrets!
