Black magic Mk5 GTI track car

Some late updates :
- I finished installing the roll-cage from Wiechers. The kit came with all bars joined through bolts which I didn't like at all and found it to bring too little aditional stiffness to the chassis. Also, although I've ordered the bar for my Schroth harnesses mounting, they sent me a horisntal bar that was to be connected right behind the seats on the lower main frame (close to the air-con for the rear passengers). The harnesses can in no way be mounted on that as the angle to the horisontal plane is much more than the 20deg as advised by Schroth. Therefore, I purchased a steel bar and installed it on the rear rollcage fixing, on top of the wheel arches. All being said, I welded everything, including the 4 points on which the rollcage fixes to the car and I've reinforced those points with thick metal plates !
- Installed the Schroth harnesses using the supplied eyebolts at the recommended angles
- Purchased a Manfrotto 2-arm mount for my big Canon HF-G30 camera (I will also be using a Gopro 3+ for rear or driver/co-driver filming)
- Since recent logs showed my LPFP was barely reaching 3bar at redline, I've purchased a TT-RS OEM LPFP which hopefully will work well with the OEM controller. Once the weather allows it, I will install it and run some logs

Wasn't that difficult of an install. Forgot to mention the roll-cage has 18.5kg in the standard version and about 22kg with the tube that I've added. The harnesses have about 4kg ! I've also exchanged my door cards with some black OEM ones and removed 17.5kg !!! (that;s how heavy mine were) !
Pikey, please tell me what was you pressure with the OEm pump ? (I suppose it was low and that's why you made the change). Have you got any logs with the TTRS lpfp ?
