installed a set of lightweight racing seats from X2C Motorsports at one
time, but have removed them and reinstalled the stock seats. I did
this to reduce weight, but they were not as comfortable and did not
recline. I decided that I liked the look of the stock seats better
and wanted a nice daily driver so I took the X2C seats out and put the
stockers back in. I need to take some better pictures, as most of
the pictures of my current roll bar were taken with the lightweight
seats installed.
I put in the
two-gauge pod that goes into the middle vent so that I could monitor the coolant
temperature and the boost more accurately. It's fun to watch the
boost gauge sweep up to about 12 psi as I watch the other car fade away in the
rear view mirror. :-) I also put in a fuel pressure on the A-pillar, but it is hard to tell exactly what the
fuel pressure is due to its increments. I set the fuel pressure to somewhere around 42 psi, with the vacuum line
disconnected.
I had a custom 6-point roll bar with
pull-out door bars installed by Fab Tech in Chatsworth, CA.
I got lucky because I didn't ask for a chrome moly roll bar, but one was
installed anyway. The
chrome moly roll bar probably weighs 30-40 pounds less than a steel
version. I need all the weight savings I can get with this car,
since it weighs over 3500 pounds without me in it. They did a very good job on the fit and
the welds. The quality is very good! I was recently stopped
from running at Famoso Raceway after a 12.02 run, since I only had a
4-point roll bar, so this replaced an AutoPower 4-point roll bar that was
installed a few years ago.
