Thanks! I will only change my driver seat if thats the case.

Any updates for the new racing season? Saw a vendor post a pic of your car on the FB IS group and got excited about getting my car done!

Hey man! I have been putting all my updates on Instagram since last year. It’s just much easier to post there quickly. My handle is w_analytics_racing. I’ve made quite a bit of changes!

Thanks man! I’ve added quite a few more mods that are on Instagram. The wheel was done by a guy in Michigan that did another wheel for me on the past. He’s actually a designer for GM! Let me know if you want his info👍

What wheels are you running now? Saw the shots in the pics thread, they look awesome. What are the numbers - diameter, width, offset?

You've inspired me. Thinking I need the Ohlins instead of the Penskes now...

Thanks for the kind words. The wheels are BBS RIA’s from Japan. They are a true Forged monobloc wheel and only weigh 17# for the 18x9.5 et35 setup I have.

The Ohlins ILX/TTX have no competition. They are a step above anything else on the market and that’s why I worked with Mike at Figs to get these. I have some front aero coming care of John Morgan and Alpheyga. I worked with him to get the GT4 front splitter to production. Waiting to get the tunnels that will go in mine and then will be chassis mounting it to get real downforce.

Let me know if you have any other questions👍

This little resistor keeps all the airbags functioning and no dash light from the driver seat removal.
Do you think the resistor would work the same way on passenger front seat? I heard newer car has “weight sensor” in stock seat not sure how that work.

Not all by itself. The occupant sensor also has to send a signal, so you'd need to find the right resistor for it as well.

Maybe 5ltr can update us on the sensors. He is running two race seats now, so I’m sure he figured it out.

Can you please share the link for this resistor? I just installed my racetech rt1000 and would like to turn off the airbag light on driver side. Thanks in advance!

You just have to use a 2.2ohm resister for the passenger side and swap the occupancy mat from the bottom of the passenger seat into the new seat. Works perfectly👌
