Love the color scheme! I'd recommend getting the calipers completely painted in that neon yellow color to finish off the look. When you're taking pictures or video of the car on the track, the calipers will stand out behind the dark wheels and it'll look amazing

+maximus9401 That would be a great touch! We're short on time right now but after our Ontario1500 event we may just do that.

I love many kinds of boxes.

Livery looking good, not overdone like most people do, clean and simple I like it! Splitter will for sure help and make the front look much more aggressive. That system looks very smart, too bad FR-S made it so hard in the first place to disable everything. Great video as always, looking forward to the next track day video!

Would you guys consider it safe to run this harness without a cage or roll-bar since it's street legal? It would only be used when on track.

The ASM also allows the space because it protects you from whiplash. But you need a padded headrest

@speedacademy

+walt350z We love it! Every time the car is started we're ready to go rip without having to push any buttons or try to fumble with the pedal dance procedure.

the deal with the harness is just in case anyone was wondering. seatbelt submarining is when your body slides down the seat under the harness, causing the lap strap to ride up off your hips and into your gut (very very bad for your internals). in a 5 point the crotch strap prevents this and in a 3 point it lets your upper body go first, using the shoulder strap to tightening down on the lap strap. its the same idea with the 4 point asm, that extendable part lets your upper body go first which throws the lap strap into your hips at an angle where it cant ride up any higher.

YAY

Does Beast tronics (sp?) make a PD for the S197 Mustang? That thing is sweet!

For road legel harnesses i would stig with schroth. They have the only street legal 4 (or more) point harness with a legal centre lock.

@speedacademy

+CF88DRUM These Takata harnesses are fully street legal and the seat belt is a big reason for that because in the case of an accident a paramedic or normal person will know how to unlatch you, with a center lock they may be confused how it operates.

There is a small speaker under the driver side dash that you can unplug.

I also wrapped my mirror caps. I took the caps off the car and wrapped around the edges so when the wrap tries to contract it wont pull away from the edges. But my car is white so its really noticeable. Looks good though I like it!

That strap that gives way is so when you crash it turns your body towards the inside and dampen the impact a bit. Livery looks pretty cool, it's not overdone. I loathe overdone liveries... Love the wheels tho, they look really good on the FRS. Keep up the great work guys!

I think the reason they want your body to rotate in an accident is so you don't wip your head as much cuz you don't have a hass device

i like your episodes but why you would boost a frs over a s2k is beyond me. that motor is garbage compared to the f20.

@speedacademy

9 жыл бұрын

+umaireg6 That's why it needed boost! The S2k engine is already making good power NA but the FA20 needs more juice and the supercharger is the perfect answer for reliable power gains.

Please do a video to shut these BRZ FRS owners where you compare lap times of an NA S2000 to a TURBO FRS/BRZ... anything to justify paying 25k for 200BHP LOL

+S2k2014 Last time they ran the ass2000 at the track, it ran like 1:20. The FRS with the supercharger now runs the course in like 1:15... I prefer the S2k, but it's currently outgunned BIG TIME.

+duane willis we didn't actually run a 1:15 in the FRS, that was a lap timer glitch that we had a little fun with. But the FRS should be a bit quicker than the ass2k given its power advantage at the moment. They're both hugely fun to rip at the race track.
