Just wondering how people have mounted the lap belts for the harnesses in your Trophy's? Its easy to simply drill a hole in the Recaro mounts (or even the floor), but id rather not do that for resale purposes ... I have OMP 4 point clip in ones (with eye bolts) if that helps. Cheers Dave

here's one for the techies out there... do sensors just report or do they control? maybe it depends on the sensor???? i.e. if you get a fault code. could the fault likely be caused a dodgy sensor or could a dodgy sensor have altered the EMS to trip a fault?

Spoke to Mark yesterday as i'm keen to purchase some of his stuff in the next couple of months. Whilst i was on the phone i thought it would be best to ask about a group buy - he seemed to think that 10% off would be ok for 10 confirmed orders. But im sure we could get something for 5 as well...

Had the car up on the hoist at Ren7Oaks last week to check on the exhaust back boxes and dampers, and although the latter are just fine, one of the back boxes has deteriorated further since it was serviced in September 09. Thankfully it isn't blowing yet, and I am still undecided as to what to...

Not what you like to find when you open the garage door in the morning! Safe to say that one is dead, any advice what to replace it with? Should I just replace that one with a standard item or replace both rear shocks with Konis while im at it? Any real advantage with Konis? Cheers Ollie
