took the car to work this week. Well today’s chance of rain turned into full blown rain even with half hood I was impressed with the rain performance. I mean not ideal. But relatively dry and functional. Defroster worked. Wipers “worked”. Toyo r888r performed well even at highway speeds. Granted comparing to my zzs that were on the wear bars. Don’t think I will actively sign up for rain driving but since I had no choice it wasn’t all that bad.

I havent had any issues with the eye bolts and scrutineers. Even in New Jersey which is the most stringent.

If you fancy giving hms more money. I got these harness pads, one for comfort and two to hide the yellow that doesn’t match anything. I do pull them off in track days as they interact with Han’s. https://www.hmsmotorsport.com/products/schroth-3in-shoulder-pads-with-racing-patch?_pos=4&_sid=82b77f9e1&_ss=r they also keep the uv damage at bay on the harness although with a 5 year dating it’s less of an issue.

My 2023 420 has the same plate. It was weighed for registration at 1300lbs. (Which sounds like a very round number to be truly accurate ). But that’s what I am going with. I do carry a bunch of crap with me and I have some lbs to myself. I did buy some cheap floor scales and will at some point weigh it myself.

I didn’t think to look at that at all

Did you sneak a peak to see if your belts were dated ? That’s just where my mind goes. gorgeous car.

Come down regardless. I came down in 2023 while mine was being built. I’ve learned a lot from just talking to the other owners.

I paid my final invoice on 11.16.23, loaded on ship 1.13.24 landed in Newark 2.2. It went up to Greg at time machines. Engine installed and fired up 3.14. I spent a bit of time dealing with the dmv. But picked car up 6.8. But no idea if that is normal these days or what

I am not much of a gamer. But a few months back I took my kids to a be driving place near me. They had the full rigs but not sure if it’s forza or some other software. I had to try the car. Think it was an r400. granted I am not very experienced with driving games. But I thought it was much harder than in real life. I think having all those inputs and cues in the real car make it easier to drive at the limit. In the game I was all over the place. (Some would argue just like real life).

I defer to others smarter than I. Not sure if your current wet sump is baffled etc. I think there is a risk especially with long sweepers. But if you’re talking about the annual meetup I think we are running thunderbolt with the new devils pass. Which cuts out the devil which I would think would be the highest risk turn. Defer to @Croc because he is smarter all around (and better looking).

Welcome. @Croc is nice enough to curate a weekly listing of sevens for sale. All shapes and sizes.

They have collars that fit inside the b24 bracket. Or it might be a 7/16” bolt that has its own collar already installed. Sleeves must be used in conjunction with a washer on one side. See picture of assembled bolt in setup. Sleeves are available in different sizes for different bolts. Note if you are using a B24 bracket, you will need the sleeve specific to that bracket. This is true unless you need a 7/16" Bolt. In this case use an SG11 Bolt that has a shoulder for use with the B24

I see the hardware on the hms website. I ordered a b24 bolt in with 15deg bend in it. They have washers and collard inserts for that with a 7/16” bolt. https://www.hmsmotorsport.com/products/schroth-bolt-in-bracket-b24 https://www.hmsmotorsport.com/products/schroth-pivot-sleeve-for-bolt-in-brackets?variant=47230554898532 when Greg installed mine he kept the clip in hardware and just installed 7/16” eyebolts for the shoulder straps. Never ended up using the bolt in hardware. https://www.hmsmotorsport.com/products/schroth-eye-bolts the lap belts got these attachments and and clipped in. https://www.hmsmotorsport.com/products/schroth-bolt-on-end-fitting-kit-b23a sub straps went thru the floor pan and has these underneath. https://www.hmsmotorsport.com/products/schroth-reinforcement-plate @savagete2860 pm me and we can talk
