Update

Installed RTD(cheers John) & DSSR, did it with the drive shaft and exhaust on (idiot).

Photos added, very precise. OEM 1st-----------2nd,  RTD 1st--2nd have got lost a few times 2nd --3rd and 3rd to 2nd.

Need to spend some time training muscle memory

Had problems at driver training last weekend, RTD shifter spat the dummy. I think I've come up with a solution only time will tell.

Hi John,

Shifter and DSSR worked fine with normal DD 

If you check out page 1.

At the bottom of my photos there is an explanation why I think I'm having problems under hard driving conditions

It does have 4 rivets per catch.   2 plates for each catch, sandwiching the plates against the tunnel.

Wow, thats a surprise.  Did the rivets have to be a certain size/specification to pass certification?  You dont happen to be going to Powercruise?

Maybe can can catch up at a track dat sometime :-)

Ive found the requirements for seatbelt anchorage doubling plates, and yes rivets no problem, mustn't be less than two or more than 4 mild steel monel rivets.  Im looking to drop a race seat in my three, i hear its one of the better modifications you can do.

Where's the latest news?

You need to use bigger washers with the engine mounts, discard the ones that came with the kit and get huge (20mm?) ones. Grab some new ones for me too! :)

Edit: I thought they'd updated the kit.

Thanks for the advice, will do.

Waiting on a sheet of Embossed aluminium to make a heat shield.

Photos up of the poly engine mounts removed. And there was a heat shield :blink: in place .............. what a mess

If you have poly mounts exposed to heat, shield them well

Richard was going to go down that track "solid alloy" read a couple of articles where a few (very few) guys had problems with knock sensors etc because of the harmonics.

Not trying to scare you, but just a heads up if strange things start happening.

Dude, that rotor!

I bet it gave you a hell of a fright!

Did you have any duct tape with you or did you have to flatbed it home?

That is really scary, and could have written the car off or severely injured the driver or both.

I wonder how common that is?
