got some experience of this? this is my plan. hopefully i can substitute an expensive flush mount scissor lift in my new garage for simply a baby that can easily crawl under the car to do an oil change.

ahh you changed it from the images i saw - previously looked like it was somehow mounted left of the dash. i think i need to keep all the various dash bits, so was looking to mount it on the side somewhere. took me a while to realise the catalyst uses all of the same garmin 'RAM' mount...

decided i'm going to try subframe mounted eye bolts for the passenger seat, given the seat is on rails it will mean they don't need adjusting every time you adjust the seat position. in future the recaro subframe may get in the sea, so to speak, and some PMS direct to floor mounts will result in...

how did you mount the garmin in your previous chassis? the positioning looks really nice as a compromise of 'being able to see it' vs 'not being in marshalls faces when pulling out of the pit lane'

Garmin Catalyst ordered, lets see if this is any good. i heard the catalyst mounts are a bit flakey so might try the SW motorsport bracket. Also need a method of mounting camera on the cage, looks like you can buy go-pro mount convertors (action cam mount part no 010-13214-00) but cant see it...

i'll stick with the 215 then! the rear is mighty close but perhaps fine. not going to lower it until after next trackday as dont want to mess with the alignment, and probably get the right wheels on it first.

nice, thanks! I've got a decent amount of front camber so that seems fine (plenty of clearance even with spacers), but the rear less so - so chucking 20mm spacers on and i'm in the grey zone on the rear as to whether that will work under compression. will have to do some aggressive driving...

handy - thanks! any idea where they're measuring the body height?

Is there a 'method' of determining best ride height with the gaz golds? i think my rear looks a little high (perhaps 20mm), and front could drop perhaps another 10mm. on the basis of running with a bit more stiffness (full soft atm, for transit/road) than i have now. though rear with 20mm...

Yeah that looks decent. Deffo would have just purchased these as even has the 6point under seat harness bolts. Oh well, i’ll see what i can do with what i have else could consider that. I still like the slider idea so others can drive it.

Haha quite likely. I have direct mounts for driver side. Passenger side is official recaro subframe. Driver side is a million times better.

I swear this SW kit wasnt available when i looked before: https://www.swmotorsports.uk/product/renault-clio-mk3-bucket-seat-slider-base-mounts/

Hah fixed would be fine at this point, i dont think the oem rail bolt will work. Might try the bolt in mount on that bolt. tbh the oem buckle is fixed to the seat on the tunnel side, so maybe thats fine.

Yeah, it does mean you’re reliant on the rails.. though if they failed then you're still potentially moving around with static mounted harnesses. Maybe i could use the floor rail bolt and bend it 90 degrees upright. or I'm just binning these rails / subframes and going direct to floor again...

Has anyone fitted harnesses to seats with sliding rails? is it better/acceptable to fit the b23a or other mounting bolt to the subframe rather than the oem seat rail on the cil side? Seems pretty tight on the oem rail and every time you adjust the slider youd have to adjust the belts. Some pics...

i got the bolt in half cage, uses isofix rear seat points and drill through footwell in rear. pretty easy to fit, but quite tight if you want to use the OEM belts (only because it restricts movement of the upper height adjuster). with a bit of fiddling/pressure i managed to bolt it in such a way...

looks lovely indeed, exactly how id colour it too! i guess relatively easy to remove, ship, re-fit and not that expensive. With all of these engine 'mods' it's tiny improvements if anything, i just want it running super happy and smooth... removing any restrictions. i suspect the inside of the...

Now that i've got an even more solid setup, i've removed the rear boot plastic trim that sits under the rear windscreen. That was causing some boot rattles and really annoying. Going to try and install the steering wheel lowering kit this weekend, and the sun strip - it's still early in the...

Collected the car from Alex today - big grin on my face! Lots of items ticked off, worked out nicely given how busy work has been i'd never have gotten any of this done: 1. full service, belts, pump etc. 2. Gripper (!), 3+4 synchros, clutch kit 3. Gaz Gold's installed. finally. Corner...

lots of labelled take away tupperware to group together (and stop loss of) screws/bolts/clips. oh and videos are often handy reference for that angle you didn't happen to get a photo of. oh and a timelapse camera is something you always wish you'd done in hindsight!
