Multi-layer pants and jacket, 3.2A-5 is the spec i think.

Neck collar

gloves, shoes are suppose to be required.

PaiN

I picked up a nomex lined helmet as well. Not sure its required.

About the only thing the Tech at no prob pointed out to me was making sure your cutoff switch is labeled. And your roll cage is padded where your helmet would likely contact it.

Yeah I have no idea on the clothes, do the pants and jacket have to be a certain thickness?

I will label the shutoff thanks on that Larry. Which padding do you have, the big stuff or the one side U-shaped stuff?

John,

You will need a 3 layer jacket, pants, Neck collar and gloves. I have the one side u-shaped stuff. It works great.

Depending on your MPH you might need a parachute out back.

Dang I thought it was 150mph and higher...

DERTY

It is 150 and higher. If you have good brakes you can bring a car down from high 140's on a short top end. Only risk to you is the new location for your beach front property if your brakes give out. That's a lot of speed to burn off. It's an easy thing to add at a later date and certainly not required for your speeds to pass tech.

I have seen cars at the track brake down from 170 without a chute. I'd think if you are still on the factory discs they will be enough John. Unless you are on a track with a short shut down Weight is obviously a factor in this as well. A lot easier to stop a 2400 pound car I suppose Do you already have front studs? I have extras I got from Lingenfelter.

CHRISPY

I would consider a chute PSJ. Would look cool and it is nice to have if you get really loose and have trouble stopping

I have some Moser mm studs I got from Summit a few months ago.

I am not so into the chute since I would have to do more chassis stuff to mount the 'chute stuff so I will most likely get some aftermarket front brakes now.

DERTY

Unfortunately with a chute you have to commit to your decision to use it before you reach about 1000'. Beyond that you'll be beach front in no time on a short track. Loose or not. And a chute may really upset a loose car if you are not careful. Choose wisely pison'. Aftermarket brakes are a really good idea though. I can stop so much better since I swapped mine out. Just feels a lot more consistent and firm.

Do you have a downpipe with those twin turbos? By looking at the picture in your sig it looks like the exaust just makes a cycle and doesn't exit the engine. Maybe i'm wrong but up pipes or whatever you'd call them are very interesting.
