Here is a vid of me driving Bosomode's Civic for the 2 track days posting good lap times! Mosport DDT Counter clock wise 2kinks 1:09:02 was my fastest lap

quite a lengthy list there pat. Itll be nice to see the FC out again.
|
Great video. car looks like it hooks up pretty well.
Just one comment and this applies to many of you track day guys, the way that the shoulder harnesses are mounted is really wrong and very dangerous. They angle downwards at a pretty sharp angle behind the drivers shoulders. I totally understand why they are mounted this way as its the easiest way to mount them without a cage, but you just can't do this. If you had an accident bad enough where you would need the harnesses to actually work, the angle they are on would compress the spine very severely and cause structural spine damage that could result in mobility issues. Go to the CASC or SCCA website and look in the GCR's under harnesses and cages. you will see that there is a range of allowable angles for the shoulder harness mounting points, basically close to 90 degrees off the top of the shoulder. In a car without a cage, get a harness bar to go across the car from piller to piller and mount the harness to that. Just some advice as someday I would hate to read about one of you guys getting hurt because of something simple like this. Eric |
Thanks ken:)! Ohh are you comig out to all 4 sigma track days?:) with that sexy beast!:D!! And youll deff see my fc out this year!:)
Hey eric yea we knew the cons on the harness install wasnt smart but ehh.. This year bosomode civic got a 4 point bolt in from auto power! So im lending them my 5 point sparco 3 inch harness for the time beaing untill i can get a cage!:)! Rigt now im rocking stock seatbelt hahaha so i guess thts fine!:) thanks eric for the lecture it opens people eyes on stuff like this:)! Best regards pat:) |
hey guys i notices most of you are from the GTA do you guys no of any meets around??
|
I'm sure we meet before but dam are you a short guy? How can you have so much room above your head? I can't fit at all. Maybe cause its a civic! Mind you I have a sunroof above my head so this causes less room.
Matts rotory crazy, Not many meets anymore. Mostly track days for me and DGRR. I think a few people meet up a bit in parking lots but I have not went to one of those in a while... |
No i dont really go to meets only track days!:)!!
Haha ian im 6foot lol the civic seat is verry verry low and its a hatch haha so alot of head room!:)!! When i sit in my fc i have 4 to 5 inchs of head room:/! |

RisingRPM Sponsor:)
7 Attachment(s)
Hey Rx7 Club,
I would like to proudly say that Eric from RisingRPM, has given me a full blown sponsorship for the upcoming years of racing and working on my build. We have spoken back and forth about RisingRPM's products and what the company has to offer, the functionality and quality of the products. Eric has seen my build thread and my racing history so he shot me an email regarding a full sponsorship from Him self and as-well as RisingRPM of course. I am very thankful for this opportunity from RisingRPM and hopefully everything goes as best as it can in the near future, i really hope i can work with him more to give ideas and feedback to make the products better and have more product ideas for the future. Eric is a great person to talk to very loyal and humble, He responds to emails very fast and gives you a lot of feedback and knowledge about anything you ask him. Eric is a very kind person and very professional in his emails and great in customer service :nod:... Now i bet you guys cant wait till i talk about the product in detail :blush:. Okay so first i would like to say THE PACKAGING IS MORE THEN AMAZING. Why do i say that?.. well because its very simple, clean, very well packed. the boxing has this thick grey foam between the product so it dose not get scratched, bent, or damaged. Comes with nuts and bolts that are also packaged in small plastic container with foam in it as well. When i first saw that i was like WOW:crzyeye: the first impression that came into my mind was this must be a very good product just because the packaging is over done. Another thing that came into my mind instantly was "wow Eric from RisingRPM must really be confident in the product he makes and designs in order to over package a simple block off plate". Every product comes with a paper saying what it is, how many nuts and bolts come with this product and so forth also signed by Eric him self. So once again id like to say that RisingRPM has one of the best packaging i have every seen before. What comes in the Box Attachment 677077 Now i would love to talk about the product. So once i took all of the RisingRPM products out of its great packaging, i started observing the quality and craftsmanship. Every product i looked at and test fitted was perfect fit no questions asked i bet every product Eric from RisingRPM designs and creates he analyzes it in every spectrum to get the best quality you can get/make. The anodize looks very strong and has a good high quality dye IMO, i already installed my block off plates and took them off to see if their are going to be any heavy scratches or indents but nope everything still looks new. The CNC machining looks great and is pin point accurate and so is Erics CAD drawings/designs. The One thing i cant say AT THE MOMENT is how the product is under engine working conditions Due to my Full race car build so once i get to that point i will let everyone know how the product performs and with stands racing conditions. Remember guys if it can with stand hard serious racing conditions it will with stand streets for sure:nod:!. but at the moment i am very pleased to say that everything i got from RisingRPM is GREAT!!!! as i am seeing in person at the high quality products i bet that their will not be a problem with them in engine working conditions. Thanks again guys for going through my thread and my updates and i hope you have enjoyed this update as much as i did!!! I will post pictures up From what RisingRPM has given me, please stay tuned for the rest of this review and my build. Thank you again RisingRPM for this great sponsorship, i can say that you will not be let down in any way or form ;).
