Have Rob fiberglass one up.

That's the first time I've heard or read someone preferring a 5 point over a 6 point and saying the 5 point was more comfortable and the 6 point was the harness that was "grabbing stuff". Obviously you have more experience than most on this board.

I actually meant it as a compliment! It's a museum piece and a case study on never compromising on your dream build. :thumbsup:

The Mesa 001 will spend more time being built, at shows, and in a museum or car collection than it will in freezing or blazing hot temps.

I just stumbled on this thread. I didn't know Tom but have seen many of his posts. My condolences to his passenger's family and friends. I too will pray for Tom's full recovery.

That's why I made the decision to build my SLC strictly by the book... ...as narrated by the voices in my head.

I disassembled a set of Cipher seats then cut/welded the frames to shorten, narrow, and lower them. It was a lot of trial and error. I had the cushions redone for optimum comfort, fit, and headroom. They are reupholstered in leather and alcantara. I'm about 6' tall and in the optimum...

Progressing: Added weatherstripping to the doors It really finishes off the edges and is a major step to make the car weather tight. I don't want any air leaks while I'm driving the car. Bluetooth phone calls is the main goal. Built a seat bracket to accommodate mounting the sub belts per...

That Zakari guy looks familiar.

To update this thread, I spoke to Schroth and they said their 6 point is designed to work with most racing seats that have a single sub belt hole. One thing I've found is that although there are general guidelines for anchor point angles and things like that from sanctioning bodies, it's...

Mesa=my hero

Sounds like a plan. I'm in.

That's some serious work Troy. I can't wait to see what you do with your SLC.

It's really something to watch for. I was testing out new EBC pads on the street and they worked a little too well. I had no idea a car was tailing me too close. It was night, i saw lights, then no lights, then lights etc. i thought it was a cop. But then i saw a car skid off the road and do...

Thanks guys. I've driven it some in an industrial park... insane. With the cable driven itb's the throttle control is like have traction control. People seem to automatically think that because the SLC is a light car, that it will have traction issues. In fact due to the weight...

I did a little tuning done on the dyno tonight-684hp/626tq to the tires. It's not fully tuned yet.

It looks great. Any details on the shocks and springs? How much of an improvement are they over the QA1 coilovers?

I'm confused regarding 6 point specific seats. There are not many out there. Team Tech stress the importance for 2 sub strap holes when using a 6 point. Schroth doesn't mention that detail specifically in any instructions I found on the web. When I spoke to a motorsports company that...

Pros/Cons of each? Any thoughts/experiences with either?
