GD at Stoneleigh & Headrest solution (2009)

Having spoken to Andy about the new exhaust setup over the phone, I was very intrigued.
(The original GD underslungs. At the GD track day)

So here we have it. (sorry about photo quality.)

It's the same setup to the centre balance box then splits off to the sides. They have to fit a main silencer widthways after the split to bring the noise down, but the cherry bombs also look great.
Interesting how the IVA rules contradict themselves! The exhaust mustn't protrude more than 60mm past the body, yet side pipes are OK!?!?! Go figure..

I rather like the look, Mind you the factory built car did look absolutely stunning in a Ferrari Met silver!
Now the IVA headrest issue.
Personally I'm not keen on the look of the seat mounted head rests. but there is a legal IVA solution.
GD have had a new seat made that is a bit higher on the back (they call it the MK4 seat), Which fits just under the rear edge return. To be able to use the roll bar head rests, they must be no more than 50mm (not 100% sure) above the seat back. and the correct Diameter. (120mm I believe, but could be wrong there also). The headrests could be droped to the lowest hole in the bracket to achive this.

This will only pass if the seat is not adjustable and fixed in a set position.

One little issue, Andy has planted the idea of Heated seats into my brain! hehe. Like the idea, but for aprox £90 per seat... hmmm....food for thought, and plenty of time to think as they will probably be the last thing to order.
