Kev946 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Posted December 22, 2007 I still love the fact you can see bits of drain pipe from inside the car!! Pipes for the S/C intercooler. You can also see the roll bar and harness bar.. Quote
H5 Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 Well if you're looking in that direction out of it, the pipes have done their job in providing the power, and the bars are about to do their job in saving yo' ass!! Quote
Kev946 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Posted December 22, 2007 nice, would it be cheeky to ask how much About £350 the pair. I fitted them myself. These are the ones Lotus supply but charge alot more. Top quality harnesses with anti-submarine, whatever that is... Quote

Thanks, my reason for asking is that my son has an Elise and I thought I might get him some for his 40th birthday, are they OK for an Elise or just the Exige Quote

Thanks, my reason for asking is that my son has an Elise and I thought I might get him some for his 40th birthday, are they OK for an Elise or just the Exige Speak to Malcolm at MSAR. He buys them to suit the Exige and Elise direct from Schroth so much cheaper than from a Lotus dealer. I was quoted around £750... See http://www.msar-safety.com You will need an Harness bar if you haven't got one. Mine's got the sports pack so standard. The harness bars are around £100. MSAR can supply these too. Depends on what type of seats as to which harness bar you need. If there are no slots you need an harness bar with bolt on fittings. If you have slots in the seats the harnessess just wrap round the bar. Also there are 2 types of buckle. The cheapest and ones Malcolm recommends are technically illegal as they have a twist buckle. I played safe and went with the push button as supplied by Lotus. Oh and they come in Red, Black and Blue. Speak to Malcom and he will explain all this. Quote

I played safe and went with the push button as supplied by Lotus. Nice belts!!!! A few different cars I co-drive for in trials and rallies on a regular basis. One in particular changed over to much better belts recently. The Twist system is damn hard to deal with, especially if you have gloves on. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 Nice harness's Kev. If they've got crotch straps, you might want to consider getting a cricket box to protect the family jewels Quote
Kev946 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Posted December 23, 2007 Nice harness's Kev. If they've got crotch straps, you might want to consider getting a cricket box to protect the family jewels No they are 4 point but they take a fifth or sixth strap. Not easy to fit to the Lotus though. Quote
Kev946 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Posted December 23, 2007 loving the seats Gorgeous, Thanks mate. They are Pro Bax, standard with the sports pack.. Quote
Zedrush Posted December 23, 2007 Posted December 23, 2007 loving the seats Gorgeous, Thanks mate. They are Pro Bax, standard with the sports pack.. are they comfortable, Im abouts to purchase some bride seats Quote
Kev946 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Posted December 23, 2007 loving the seats Gorgeous, Thanks mate. They are Pro Bax, standard with the sports pack.. are they comfortable, Im abouts to purchase some bride seats Er...NO... They are race seats so have about 1/2 inch of padding and are very light. OK for short journeys and you get amazing feel from the car which is what the car is all about I guess, but the vibration can get a bit much on long journeys. Saying that I drove to London and back Friday, about 120 miles each way and felt fine. No comparison to say a soft seat in a Zed or my Bimmer for long journeys though. Quote
