    Good job on the mods Dave! I think next time I pick you up we'll take your car and leave mine in the garage.

              thanks guys, looking at a few evo's recently the spoiler is rather alike. although its oem so it sorta slides down to the carbon rather than a new seperate piece

              I just can't get over this exhaust, can't beleive everyone doesn't have one :P

                Well done up at Winton guy, and the new modifications look good. Let me know when you want to install those mounts.

                        The rear seats are removed and where the seat belt buckles are bolted into the chassis you remove the bolts. Replace the bolts with the supplied eyebolts and boom. The front is as simple as finding the seat belt on the B pillar and finding the lower bolt and doing the same. To do the inner eyebolt you must remove the seat, remove the seat buckle and replace that bolt with the eyebolt. That is all four It's relatively easy IMO

                        This is the rear bolts

                          Good explanation David..
                          If you have C-Pillar Bar can't you use that as a mounting point? I've seen it done just don't know how to go about it... >.> lol
                          That way it saves the hassle of removing rear seats if you don't want to.

                            I don't think a c-pillar would be ideal for mounting a harness. Most people (without rollcages) who would like a bar, mount a harness bar which mounts to the b-pillars of the car. The harness is fed through / wrapped through this bar and then mounted at the set area at the rear of the car.

                            This ensures you can still bolt the harness down but allows for the correct angle to save your spine should you get into an accident. From a few discussions in the past, for the DC5 chassis, without a bar is very borderline on acceptable but also varies depending on seat height / driver. Harness bar helps to remove this grey area.

                            Also the rigidity of the c-pillar is another thing to thing about. I would think you'd lose strength since you're mounting it to a bar that is then mounted to the chassis. I'm pretty sure most of the cars you see with it mounted to a bar have the cage welded to the chassis.

                              Haha good job removing them

                              Yes I believe you can but personally I'd rather having them mounted to the chassis. I have heard stories where the C-Pillar has snapped off the hinges in an accident and/or eye bolts ripped from the C-Pillar.

                              Personally I remove the seats for track days anyway so it just kills 2 birds with 1 stone
