lol cool you will have to convince Jonnie to start making them... my harness bar won't work for most people because its meant for my seat which is so low that the bar is too low for regular mounted seats.

Ok so Jon and I finished up the Harness bar, and also a few other things too. Now I just have like 2 more things to get done and the car will be ready. Anyways on to the pics.
This is the finished passenger side of the harness bar, as you can there is a slight bit of height difference.
The finished harness bar.
Next I removed all the auto seat belt wires from the back of the car, here is the unused wires.
Painted and installed.
4 point installed.
I decided to remove the stock hood latch/cable and go to hood pins.
Latch removed and hood pins installed.
New intercooler bracket since the hood latch was the original bracket.
Finally the driver side seat bracket is finished and painted.
Cut and modified center console, now that my seat is so low I actually had to take out the console because my elbow now hits it. So this small section was cut to help retain the stock shift boot console.
I also had to relocate the trunk/gas door release cuz of the new seating position.
New wheels all painted.
Wheels on the car.

Thanks Doug!
More updates, CJ from Infint Graphx came by to wrap my hood. I made this graphic earlier this week and then CJ had the Anime girl so he added to the graphic. I must say it came out sick! Then he decided to make some really large Infinit stickers for the side of the car as well. Tomorrow he will cut up some Stealth Custom Fab stickers to go on my side skirts. Anyways pics speak for themselves, I will take some better pics at the track where the lighting will be much better.
Laying out the hood wrap.
Flame time! lol
Positioning the side Infinit stickers.
All done!

Ok so I have been lacking on updates to this thread.
The November track day was great as usual, I went a lot faster and chewed up my tires quicker than in the past tho. O well that's the price of getting better at sliding.
I have a few pics that I picked out of a whole bunch that I found on the net. I don't have a video yet because I am still waiting on the footage to get mailed to me. So whenever that gets here I will make a quick video, hopefully there is enough footage that I can show some decent tandem runs that Andrew and I had on the track.
My dad and I getting ready to head out
So yea this the result of going faster than I have before... my tires are done in 2 sessions as opposed to 4 like in the past.
Here are a few pics taken by Mike Tseng, this is the progression of turns 10-11.
Brandon and I going tandem thru turn 11
This pic below I left untouched, no resize, no watermark or anything. I just think it looks sweet the way it is.
These were taken by Andrew Bohan
Turn 1 at right around 100MPH sideways

hey that last picture...was that the one where we went off the track completely???
Nope I don't think anyone has pics of that... I think the only evidence of that is in the footage that the gopro took.

Ok so I threw the video together from the 11-15-2009 event. I did the best I could but Windows 7 movie maker has so many less functions than the Vista version I am used to. Needless to say I need to step up my game in the video editing department.
Anyways here is the footage of Andrew and I, it's in HD on Vimeo and a low res version is here on my site.

Low res here on my site, Right click and "save as"
