    Cheers Troy Yes it's a very fun project, and regardless of the final outcome the journey will be a memorable one. It's always good to have goals as you would know mate.

    No LSD yet bud, and to be honest with my current power levels with the suspension and tyre set up I probably would never need one. So much grip in all situations I'm happy to say. However..... Gav and I have a pretty high power goal we're shooting for so I'm sure a Wavetrac is most certainly a must. (so a TBD to be more accurate) I know a proper LSD is preferred by the serious track goer like Guy and Eddy but the Devil will remain my daily when all this WTAC stuff is done and dusted. Can't wait for Redliner's review actually

    Sure is mate, just playing the waiting game. Was meant to be completed 2 weeks ago now so with any luck will be here soon.

    Surely fine print like this is the least of your problems, one you've removed the side airbags to fit them????

    Thanks for the heads up Stuwey. I was going to get everything engineer certified and plated when the half cage and seats go in and get it changed officially to a 3 seater, so was hoping this would cover the airbag delete?? Any advise on all that would be appreciated Stuwey!

    Local law dependant, although as far as I'm aware it's flat-out illegal to remove an airbag, or more specifically, lower the safety standard of a vehicle.

    You're screwed either way, at least the Recaro's will be comfortable.

    I see. The only class requirement is the driver has a 4 point harness with seats and roll cage optional but recommended. Obviously the standard seats would not work with a harness (or can they??) so are there any factory Recaro's that would fit that have air bags and provision for a harness?
