Even a factory seatbelt has some give to it in an accident. The mounting points metal actually bends a bit
Check out B is for build, he explains harnesses and submarining.
are you getting a chassis mount shifter?
It’s gotta be at least another 6 inches long to be drift spec
A lot of back and forth motion to get it off…
Hell yea im loving this content!
E36 has threads on the button
I absolutely love this series!
that extension is pretty sweet , kinda want one on mine too now , especially that locking botton ,its anoying when trying to have fun sometimes it dosent release
The ASM thing is so that you don't slip down and out of your seat in a frontal collision. Otherwise you'll end up crumpling your legs real bad. As you said, due to the breakaway being only on one side, it will behave like a three point belt in regular road legal cars. It lets your upper body go a bit forward and basically "wraps" you around the lower part of the belt. If it wouldn't, your butt would be sliding forward.
Please do some skids asap!
A cable handbrake used for drifting isn't going to work. All you'll do is stretch the cable. Spent the extra and get a hydraulic setup.
Thanks for the tip about the seat belt ASM/DOT compliancy, will keep that in mind.
You guys make such awesome videos! Keep up the work! Cant wait for the drift cars on the track!
please swap the passenger seat to match. I can't get past the asymmetry hahaha
I'm no bimmer expert but if the parking brake cable is like most other vehicles, each side has it's own adjustment, hence the two adjustment points.
I used to remove the rear seats, and strip the trunk when I went drifting for weight reduction, but it actually felt worse with less weight in the rear! Although I imply you guys did it for aesthetics; but until you corner weigh without the seats, I highly recommend keeping them there. a full tank also helps ^_^.
He said e28! MORE e28!!!!
Does the Takata seat harness work better than their airbags.
Those E30 switches are extremely satisfying to push.
Guys… What are you doing cutting holes in the back seat?! Why not just use sheet metal painted black, or carpeted plywood??
Insert meme….
rip ebrake cable
None of the e46's have threaded handbrake buttons. I believe I left a comment on one of your previous videos stating this and lots of other info. But that only helps if you read them.
That is a lot of messing around – should just have had someone hold the release button in while you drilled it for an "R" type clip – stick it in when competing and take it out for normal use. A bit more complicated is modifying the pawl arrangement to a fly-off button – with this, the button is pushed in to lock and is normally 'free' in that the ratched/pawl doesn't engage.
Make sure you take the bulb out of the e30 window switch if they are lit switches. Ask me how I know…
Should have put in a hydro ebrake where you can get a long handle and maybe some dual piston calipers which can really help you modulate the car better than stock.
ASM harness are the number one reason for aftermarket part injuries ! Never ever USE ONE NEVER !
Can't stop laughing at that ebrake adjustment, that's not how you are supposed to do it 😀
