im back , just picked this up today , thanxs to my new sponcers dave @ MB Racing in new jersey for giving me the shell untill i get the integra fixed. It has a cage, chute, certified, omni drag suspension and a few other goodies. I will post the rest of the build. Hoping to make it to Etown event in 3 weeks. The car was owned by my tuner and sold to MB racing. It has gone 9s on a gt35r stock sleeve GSR. For the people who don’t know MB racing : [http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/2353112](http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/2353112) [![http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/4383/l07803b26f6a889224629cfud4.jpg](http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/4383/l07803b26f6a889224629cfud4.jpg)[/ [URL=http://imageshack.us] ![http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/4923/l5972a58c055c038d8f3cf0zi5.jpg](http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/4923/l5972a58c055c038d8f3cf0zi5.jpg)[/ [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGO-k8rtGjM](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGO-k8rtGjM)]([http://imageshack.us](http://imageshack.us)) ---

ok how many times have you raced for real exp crashes ? try and keep under control while you are riped vilently sideways you will slide out of a harness bleave me they all need to work together . i never thought it could happen untill i was laying upside down on passenger floor . it sucks stock seats dont hold the harness good enough. ---

In a straight line you really don’t NEED a racing seat, plenty of 10s cars run with stock seats. ---

Thank you, that’s what i was trying to say, in drag racing you don’t NEED one. Mike from synapse had a 10.9 car trapping 142mph and had stock seats and a stock seat belt. ---
