This is my first track video with the new to me Drift HD170 camera. This was a new personal best of 2:34.8 and still only good enough for third in class but that was behind a couple of really talented friends that I have no problem losing to. This is the first wide angle camera I've run and the first time I've had good footage of the inside of the car. One thing that really struck me was the amount of flex my Corbeau FX1 Pro goes through. Keep any eye on the right winglet in the turns! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I picked up an I/O Port seat brace and will be installing it before the next event.

I can't believe how much that seat moved. I've got the same seat and while I know they are flexing, I didn't think it would be that much. How are they mounted? Mine are bolted directly to the floor, no slider. I wonder if that helps at all.

Great video!

Mine is bottom mounted on two individual single sliders. I can see where side mounting it with a solid connection would probably help some but that fiberglass shell is so flexible I know there will always be flex. I was just surprised at how much.

I'm plumbing in a catch can system and relocating the battery at the moment so when I finish that up I'll install the new seat brace. There is only the one mounting screw that comes with the seat and I'm afraid to drill the fiberglass to mount the brace more securely so it may not help much. NASA is running Homestead on Nov 5th & 6th but I need to evaluate my budget to see if I can justify it or not. I want to go of course and compare video after the brace install.

There's the catch-22 with this seat and brace: The addition of a single hole for a back brace was an afterthought on Corbeau's part, and of course drilling more holes in the fiberglass shell is not recommended.

The IOPort brace was designed for aluminum seats and is supposed to be bolted with 2 bolts to the back of the seat.

So this combination cannot be mounted without violating at least one of the mfr usage requirements.

I'd like to say I wasn't aware of that but I did understand before I ordered the brace. Do you think I'm being unsafe? I respect your opinion very much and if I'm being foolish then I'll shelf the brace until I get a real seat for the car.
