red devil i think has a sparco "junior" or something similar for sale. It's an old sprint 5 design, metal frame not fibreglass.

yes Sparco is on shopping list this year.
Has to be removable for DD duties.

Anyone got a sparco 4sale ???

It's a pain in the a$$ getting it in and out on the set up i've got. But to be honest there really is no other way.
If you use standard rails, you will be sitting even higher than with the standard seat. Mine is pretty much bolted to the floor, with about 50 mm gap between my helmet and the hard top.
Takes about 20 minutes to get it in and out, the last bolts are bloody hard to get out, because they are side mounted.
Having a harness is great though to hold you in place.
Might see you at the hill climb next time.
Cheers

Natmeet was a great weekned!
And we had the chance to run 5 sessions at Wakefield Park.
What an awesome MX5 Track. Very technical and challenging to get get the corner sequences right.
Quick video of some of our efforts
Not ashamed to show my mistakes as it was our first time at Wakefield
Running on Dunlop Star Specs.
Lisa finished with a 1.24.16 and I with a 1.15.45

Looks like black mirrors and splitter.

Did you take the splitter of to paint it?

....windshield frame, front edge of side glass frame, pinch weld under the body.

Splitter
Windshield frame
Mirror Covers
Very small headlight eye brows
Front Emblem

Pinch weld is actually covered with a rubber strip, to hide all the bent bits

Lucky the can is running out

This was the guy that gave me crap about my love of Wrinkle Red paint!

No more cans for you!

You started with the window surround in an unventilated area didn't you.......

Hmmmm, not a fan man.

I do like the idea you have for the jack strip at the bottom. Mine's fooked to.

for someone wanting to try the matte black look I reckon it would be a cheap option and you can just peel it off if don't like it
It won't. Win any paint points at concourse but from a few metres away it looks ok
