From ADR book thingo btw im typing this and had a few beers so i cbf looking at my spelling, here goes.

SEAT BELTS

The level of safety provided by seat belts muct not be reduced. Seat belts must not be replaced by belts of a lesser standard or with seccond hand belts, eg, lap belts must not be used in place of lap/sash seat belts. The use of retractable seat belt disabling device is not acceptable.

and another section saiz.

seat belts must be installed for all seating postition. lap/sash seatbelts are required for all dont and rear outboard seating postitions. lap/sash or lap belts shall be fitted to imboard seating positions.

theres other things on it but essentially what their saying is it has to retract. this may be for reasons of safety in emergency situations.

eg u drifto into a pole and doors are jamed shut cause u bent your chassis, and your no2 tank is leaking causing you to go unconcous, your engine is reving to 9k with the turbo blowing the ceramic housing out your cat and, the guy that lives in the trailer park is running to save your ass, cant work out how to undo your funny looking fulli sik drifto seatbelt.

or u can have it legal and stock and live.

    • I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information 
    • What kind of power delivery are you after? If it's nice and linear, the 0.86 would be better. If you're after bake tyres and head snaps on boost the 0.64 would be fun. I'm boring and old, so linear power is preferred. Lately I've been watching videos on Z06 Corvettes and super charged Mustangs.... 
    • I’d go the smaller rear just because you’re staying on 98, if e85 I’d go the bigger one
