Basic but mandatory track mods help needed.

No cage. That is going in this winter along with proper seats and harnesses. Last year it was stock seats and belts, but given how fast I was going that really wasn't a great idea. After seeing one of the other very experienced drivers crash his Cayman into the pit wall at 80 mph with stock belts I knew it was time for a safety upgrade.

As for the "Ice-mode" it occurs when you get front pad fade, causing the brake balance to go wildly rearwards and totally freaks out the ABS system. This is the reason I run the sintered pads and a biased front/rear setup. Running the same compound front and rear you have to be very careful to not apply full brake pressure until most of the forward weight transfer has occurred.

Chris,
After watching your Glen vids I can believe you drive like that with no harnesses! Not simply for safety but just staying in place must be pretty tough. Are you going for a cage or just a bar? If you want we can put our heads together and come up with a harness bar that goes in using the stock top anchor points and maybe one hole in the car. Its just as easy to build 2 as one. I think we are about 1/2 hour from each other.

LOL, I know right? The stock seats aren't awful but you do get thrown around a bit and you end up spending way too much effort trying to brace your body rather than drive.

I was hoping to do at least a rear 4-point for some rollover protection. I don't really drive on the street anymore so I'm not worried about the diagonals taking up trunk space.

If you come up with a jig for the bar I'm sure you could sell at least 10 of them right now to the folks on this site. But with the sponsorship requirement and all that it could be too much of a hassle.

/\ first thing that ran thru my mind as well. Well that and whoever comes up with a good brake ducting kit will sell a few of those as well.
