I sold the Notch because it was like a patchwork quilt underneath and needed more work than I could justify spending on it. It's was an awesome car, a real head-turner, was gutted to see it go. Plus I wanted a mk1 Cortina! ;D I had the juice fitted by Nick at Freestyle bodyworks and Christoff (Scraping Scrap), all in it cost about a grand, would have been less but I kept melting batteries! I wouldn't recommend it on an old VW, unless you're sure the car is 100% solid. If you do, go for a slow system, and get decent suppressors or you'll have no teeth left! PM me if you want more details. |

Nice - the angle's a bit steep on those harnesses though :/ *n Eh? Harnesses should preferably go out from the back of the seat parallel to the floor of the car. +/- 15 degrees is considered 'safe' by most but some go up to 45 degrees. If your harnesses angle sharply downwards, an accident will place stresses vertically down the back of the seat (from thepoint where the harnesses 'turn' downwards). Seats are not designed with such stresses in mind and may break. If the seat back breaks, all of that vertical force is instantly transferred to your spine... Ouch. *n |
