i could imagine using the front lip from sunline, then mounting a splitter beneath it, but otherwise nothing I'm interested in there... the rear fascia and sideskirts are just for looks

I didn'nt think you could do that

travisjb · 10-04-2009, 11:06 PM

(reading your sig) well, you also "can't" put a 5-point harness on a car without a roll bar/cage

Luv'n my Z · 10-04-2009, 11:47 PM

The five points are bolted to the floor and seat

Fathead · 10-04-2009, 11:49 PM

Thats not safe they should all bolt to the floor and a harness needs a harness bar to be effective or you are better off with stock belts.

The seat is bolted to the floor as well. I dont race my z a lot just with some friend on the weekends

read this Installing 5point harness without roll bars or cage... - SRT Forums - SRT4, SRT6, SRT8, SRT10 & Dodge Forum you can find plenty others just like it

... please do yourself a favor and ditch the harness until you get at least a roll bar properly installed

Luv'n my Z · 10-05-2009, 01:01 AM

Wow I didn't know that thanks

you might of saved my life

going to put stock belts back on until I go to the shop and get rollbars installed

a lot of people make this mistake... i considered doing it once... if you do enough google searches you will find pictures of accidents and mangled bodies of people that didn't figure it out... definitely put the stock belts back on... the stock safety systems work really well and are designed to work together.... don't change a thing until you're ready to go all the way

Luv'n my Z · 10-05-2009, 09:46 AM

Thanks again

Travis,

It sounds like Caymans are having problems with oil starvation with R Comps on, to the point where Porsche is saying they won't warranty the motor if you mount R Comps.

Are you worried about oil starvation with the Z? Any plans to go dry sump? I'm actually wondering if someone will come out with a baffled pan to help prevent starvation. I have a friend who burned up his 944 motor, likely because the suspension and tires were so serious.

I have to say, I'm impressed with the Corvette Grand Sport for just that reason. Dry sumps rock at the track.
