Spoken to Matt @ Simpson's this morning.

The system is 2/3's complete, its built so far up to the rear diff housing and the "S" bend is being made at the moment.
They have run it as tight and level to the underbody as possible and added another hanger around my rear beam to support it even tighter. This should hopefully make it solid as possilbe to the car.

Matt said he's really chuffed with how its looking. Judging from seeing his work and that this guy is more **** than me when it comes to stuff being right. I think im gonna be pleased.

Due to transport there etc im hoping to collect it by the end of next week.

I cant wait to see it

Cheer Mike however i already have a carbon RECARO.

My new Pro Racer SPA weighs only 6kg as opposed to the 10kg Sparcos listed. Either way the Sparcos look like a good buy for the right money.

Thanks for keeping me in mind though fella. Appreciated

Ive heard as much as 25kg mate. However i get my car back on friday so i'll be able to tell you exactly how much they weigh within the next week or so.

I just need to make the lower frame for the recaro and i'll get that in.

Cant wait to get the car back now, im starting to miss it
