Sounds like you are getting into this!! When I first did track days many years ago (std BMW 5-series) the best change from a driving perspective was to add in a removable 4 point harness - holds you in place and you can feel what the car is doing much better. There are a variety of designs and I would think you could find something that would work just by adding in a belt éye or 2' and clip in the belts for track days only.

I reckon that putting the seatbelts back in and cranking on them will help a fair bit in holding you into place.

I have just had my steering wheel restored. It has a lot less flex now as previously the timber had been delaminating.

This is how to make your static camber adjustable: https://www.joc.org.uk/forum/viewtopic. ... =mgb+peter" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I was bad then and now I'm 2 years older- I don't think so (unless you're there also and I can follow you :D ). Not sure I can make it, I'd like to though.
