    Everything RDU 2014

    To sum this tread up quickly- RDU people(or people close to RDU) will be carrying out not so important conversations from groupme to here. Mostly me and another individual have been having a lot of chatter on our groupme. The groupme was made for quick advice and meet info so to clean that up, we agreed to make a local thread.

    *if you are in the RDU or around there and not in our groupme chat, sign up on the website or app and pm and i can invite you to it*

    Anthony/Steven- feel free to change this post if you want to add or delete info

    The real trick to the G-String is getting the center brace right. That is the key to getting a good install.

    Also, if you have any type of of rollbar padding, you should cut out a section of the round black PVC pipe about a foot long and a 1/4 to 1/3 the diameter of the pipe. Round the edges of it. This piece will make sliding the center brace in much easier and less likely to tear/cut into your padding. It will also better distribute the pressure of the center brace against the padding and bar.

    It's something I noticed since I have rollbar padding with a leather (I think) cover. It's pretty much needed with padding.

    Yup hoping it doesn't get cold till late this year since it took soooo long to get warm. It was still cold spring time. I would love to have it in time for our tech day Saturday but if it goes wrong, I can always buy some more at Lowes for cheap so trial and error till I get it perfect

    OK so I just got back autosport gallery. First thing is that it is completely hidden and you have to look for a small purple sign that says orchid gallery. Now I talked the guy for some time since I kind of drive 45 minutes l, didn't want to just buy some oil and leave. He had only one seat in stock. It was a recaro(the adjustable one that the eBay seats copy from). He says he can get recaro and sparco but doesn't stock them anymore since People don't buy them like they used to in the 90s before all the safety airbags and stuff and the fact that seats have gotten better. Probably still going to see what vir has within the next month or so and see what they have.

    They probably had 20 seat last time I was in that corner of the store. You'll find one that fits you. Even if the one that fits you is out of your price range or isn't compatible for some reason, you can use the dimensions of that seat as a reference point.

    Exactly what I was thinking Andy. Going to sit in seats and remember the names and look up their measurments online and look for seats around that size. The recaro felt good but really want a side mount to get low
