Mical, you need to fit a set of white X-trail side indicator to finish it off. Or the cheapo Tazz ones if you want.

Mical, make your own meth mix, its really cheap to make.

Buy the methanol about R5/l then demineralised water (more expensive than methanol) Mix to your desired mixture just check 50/50 isnt 50/50 by volume its slightly more methanol. It lands up clear so I asked Ian what I was missing because most of them are red. I was worried it was some special oil or I was using the wrong methanol, turns out the secret ingredient is a drop or 2 of food colouring so I made mine ice blue because that must be cooler than red LOL. Just didnt want anyone drinking it. Methanol makes you blind and can kill you and Demineralised water can kill you.

OK so i bought harnesses for the phakisa track-day sadly they did not come in time

i bought fake ones as they were prob only going to be used once and cant justify over 7k for one days use

so i thought id show some pics these guys are getting so good at copy's now days


over all very hard to spot the diff
Image

Image


OK so the material is identical to my expensive race belt that i had in my race car that was fia approved and that cant fail so next to look at would be the locking quick release buckle system

i cannot fault this simple design as every seat belt cam lock is the same it has the dead locking pics and all construction is the same again as my expensive one here are pics of inside the unit

the only plastic is the keep pins that keep the dead lock pins up when the other belts are not engaged and i can bet all manufactures do the same

keep pin blocks only plastic in these belts
Image

the dead lock pins such a simple design no-one can get it wrong
Image

top of buckle
Image

the fake fia tags they getting good at making them
Image

the stitching again very close just need one more "X" and its same as the real deal
Image

and the main logo with a sparkly material
Image


finial thought(Jerry springer style)

i cannot fault these belts in any way besides the fact the using another company's logo is they made their own logo these would be brilliant belts

im all for genuine goods but seriously these are near perfect and such a simple design you cant go wrong

the amount of money spent in making copy's the company's should just start there own race brand some of the stuff would sell very well such as belts catch tanks etc

a lot if not most say don't skimp on safety gear etc but i can bet my life on these and trust them 100% after stripping them to see the internal workings

comments are welcome but try not be biased don't look at these as fake takata harnesses but rather decent made ones with a fake logo as everything today is made in china its no wonder they can make the copy's i don't know what you guys reckon but im happy

enjoy!!!!

Mical, the safety in belts come in with the stitching. When belts are tested they are subjected to 1000,s of Kg,s force and usually its the stitching that rips..

when you hit a solid object straight on at 150km/h you had better believe that there are 1000,s of kg,s force acting on the belts...
