Interesting to see the center sun visor, as I was wondering about this earlier. My 51 plate bug WRX had one, but my 2005 JDM STi doesn't ...

There's a trim clip there normally which fits in a thread. The screw for the centre visor goes in there

The cage has been modified from the standard 6 point Safety Devices cage to incorporate a double diagonal as well as harness bar for the 4 point harnesses I have upgraded to.


The lower straps have been fitted using spreader plates so they are 100% secure.


I still need to pick the new fire extinguisher up as forgot to pick it up.


The rear view mirror needs replacing with a cage mounted item and the helmet net needs mounting.


Will get some decent pics once I have finished painting the mounting points in the footwells and cleaned the car up as well haha

Well the rear hoop is now painted up and looks much better. Only the 4 remaining feet to paint then that's it.


Also fitted a Clio rear view mirror onto a bracket I made for the cage, rehung the harnesses and fitted the TRS helmet net.


Unfortunately snow stopped play

Some nice more updates, you must be looking forward to getting back on track.

Any reasons for going for the KillerB setup compared to the Cosworth baffle plate?

I spent a night researching both setups and after seeing how many people had to change the flaps on the cosworth and RCM versions due to wear, failure etc this put me off.

The Killer B I wouldn't find 1 bad review and the money I have saved getting this I have put toward the Killer B oil pickup.

Another thing I noticed was people mentioning sealing issues where the Killer B fits inside the sump so no issues.

Can't wait to get on track again. Hoping to get a test day in to tweak the car soon with a mates rallycross car doing the same.

No doubt more changes before than though hahaha

Interesting, i've read the issues regarding the RCM cosworth ones as well but struggled to find much information regarding the KillerB ones.

My car is going to have a similar purpose to yours and its something I am concerned about.

More research required.
