Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I ordered custom spacers from http://www.motorsport-tech.com/ First order took forever, but my second one was to me within the week. Good quality stuff there.
I just wish I lived closer to a track to get some seat time at. West coast seems so much more racer friendly, minus emissions.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Speaking of tracking i just bought a 6 point bolt in cage for my ef. Stripped my interior and i may have to get rid of my sunroof to make room for the main hoop (tight fit) My car went from a street car to a mild race car in 24 hours. It was sad to see my interior go i didnt really want to do that. Only problem wit the cage is that i dont like how the A pillar bars are designed. They dont hug the dash as much as i'd like. Kinda worried about driving this thing on the road now with a roll cage. The bars are pretty close to my head. Hoping bucket seats and harnesses will make me feel a bit safer.

Im actually thinking of getting a seat with those side bolsters by the head. How hard would it be to drive with those on the street (blind checks and ****)

Awesome! Can we get some pictures?!
Have been thinking of buying a pre made weld in or bolt in kit too for the longest time, nervous about fitment.

So he was doing a spirited drive home with the top belts loose and lost the rear end, went off the road, and smacked a tree. His head hit the rollbar.
At his funeral he wore his favorite fishing hat to hide his skull. His son was 6 months old. He never knew him.
You have to remember a racing harness will stretch 1 inch for every 10 miles an hour impact speed. The rollbar padding is for helmets, not skulls.
Please please please do not drive with a full cage without a helmet on.

I have an occasional CEL, but I haven't checked it out, yet. I was thinking it was probably running rich (27mpg on the last tank of gas). I should probably diagnose that CEL and go from there.

Curious what sucks about the Suja bracket...never looked at one, but my buddy likes both of his, and I know the Suja guys...never talked to them about the hydro setup though....cable for life!

LAst week end i got a chance to play with the hush bracket, it bolts up perfect, the pedal assembly went in first try, no cutting ect. The clutch isnt hooked up but it moves very nice, esp with the willwood setup. In addition, the pedal throw is much shorter than the stock/suja1 setup.
SICK man, by any chance do you have pics of your seat mounts? We are trying to fab something up on the princess.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
The bracket is kinda cheap, just a plate with two side pieces. I had to machine quite a bit for it to clear the inner firewall cowl. That was strike one, strike two, its not reifornced at all, so when u push the pedal in, the entire assembly rotates down about 1". So instead of pushing the clutch you are spending energy bending hte pedal until it engages. Im sure they are great guys but this product was very underdeveloped and for the price, not worth it. If they designed it better and had done their "r&d" properly this wouldn't be an issue/

back to the bracket.. i have it on all my cars and they never move one bit, it is a super short engagement.. How long ago did you buy one? I love mine, they even made me one for my DA when i did that car.
