How To Install A Street Legal Harness - Scion FR-S Track Build - EP07

[@Sim2Real.]

When he said "Had a read about it WE NEED THIS" tipical racecar owner!

[@speedacademy]

+Alberto Pettine we always forget to do the pedal dance or even push the off button on the console, so the Beastronix PD86Nanny is exactly what a couple numnuts like us need to ensure the e-nannies don't spoil the fun.

[@Sim2Real.]

Speed Academy No guys. Even if you dont need it. YOU NEED IT! :P

[@jonkat323]

My day literally gets made when I see you guys have uploaded a new episode!!

[@speedacademy]

+Jon Kat That's so good to hear Jon! We'll keep cranking the videos out.

[@1dickycat]

the FR-S looks awesome guys! Thanks for clarifying the "street legal harness" reasons too!

[@speedacademy]

+1dickycat Thanks, we really dig the street legal harnesses. A perfect addition to any street car that is seeing track time.

[@hkn_r34]

Livery looking good, not overdone like most people do, clean and simple I like it! Splitter will for sure help and make the front look much more aggressive. That system looks very smart, too bad FR-S made it so hard in the first place to disable everything. Great video as always, looking forward to the next track day video!

[@speedacademy]

+KoNLaRz All the new cars have so many driving nannies that it makes us wonder whether we're actually fully in control. Good thing we know now the FRS is completely in our hands :)

[@3dscott]

Love the show guys! The engine frs swap and jackson racing supercharger install was great to watch! Told all of my automotive friends about you guys! Keep the videos coming!

[@speedacademy]

+3dscott Thanks for spreading the word Scott, we really appreciate it.

[@maximus9401]

Love the color scheme! I'd recommend getting the calipers completely painted in that neon yellow color to finish off the look. When you're taking pictures or video of the car on the track, the calipers will stand out behind the dark wheels and it'll look amazing

[@speedacademy]

+maximus9401 That would be a great touch! We're short on time right now but after our Ontario1500 event we may just do that.

[@goughgreer-barry1773]

keen to see this thing crunch the numbers on the track, loving what you guys are doing

[@speedacademy]

+Gough Greer-barry It's always great when we get to go test the mods we've made. Thats the part of the job we love the most.

[@UIMcocodog]

the deal with the harness is just in case anyone was wondering. seatbelt submarining is when your body slides down the seat under the harness, causing the lap strap to ride up off your hips and into your gut (very very bad for your internals). in a 5 point the crotch strap prevents this and in a 3 point it lets your upper body go first, using the shoulder strap to tightening down on the lap strap. its the same idea with the 4 point asm, that extendable part lets your upper body go first which throws the lap strap into your hips at an angle where it cant ride up any higher.

[@swanblake]

looks fantastic. Extra points for level sticker placement. Not as easy as one would think. good job fellas

[@speedacademy]

+Blake Swan We spent WAY too much time making sure the stickers were all level! Glad you noticed, makes the effort worthwhile.

[@shadowsaiyan]

More Grip S14 Content, please. Can't wait for you guys to do a Battle Royal throw down of all your cars!

[@speedacademy]

+duane willis Soon! The cracked subframe turned out to be a huge debacle, you'll see why in an upcoming video.

[@atraxr603]

That strap that gives way is so when you crash it turns your body towards the inside and dampen the impact a bit. Livery looks pretty cool, it's not overdone. I loathe overdone liveries... Love the wheels tho, they look really good on the FRS. Keep up the great work guys!

[@speedacademy]

+Atrax R Thanks, we love the wheels too! At first the blue seemed too dark but now we love it!

[@atraxr603]

+Speed Academy It's perfect colour. Makes it look a bit more aggressive. :)

[@select20]

Nice, the decals that are just barely a different color than the car is awesome.

[@speedacademy]

+select20 We like the subtle hint and nod to all the shops and companies that have helped us out a long the way.

[@xXxNI7R0xXx]

You guys are going to be huge like the american MCM so please keep up the good work !!!!

[@speedacademy]

+NI7R0 Thanks for the kind words. Glad you're liking the content.

[@ProfessorPyroarAR15]

So sick loving all the work

[@speedacademy]

+96SpecDC Awesome thanks!

[@18iser]

I love many kinds of boxes.

[@allproroofinginc1142]

looks great looking to getting into vinyl wrapping myself

[@klajoye481]

Stoked for the gear!! I would happily rep you guys!!

[@lauzon73]

Guys thanks for uploading your videos. I'm looking to meet you one day if your ever come in the Montreal area for some lapping it would be awesome.

[@speedacademy]

+lauzon73 Certainly, if we cruise up to the Montreal area we'd be more than happy to meet up. Keep an eye out on our facebook page for where and when we'll be traveling next.

[@justintime6160]

Awesome video guys! Would be sick if you could make a plain pocket tee with speed academy written on the pocket! Plain and simple is how I like them :P!

[@speedacademy]

+Theonlyjak We want to definitely do that in the future. We're trying to get the store up and running first and then work on some cool and unique shirts, a pocket tee is on the list!

[@inlinesixrb25]

I have the street legal takata harness in my car. I love them.

[@speedacademy]

+justin cunningham They're great and work so well.

[@PowellMoore]

Ah yeah more flat four action, livery looks great btw

[@IcejjfishTbone]

The ASM also allows the space because it protects you from whiplash. But you need a padded headrest

[@aaguirre123]

I don't know if you guys already covered this but can you do an episode about roll cages and the philosophy behind the design you guys selected for your frs.

[@MistrMcGill]

I like it. You guys did very good take care!

[@speedacademy]

+Mister McGill Thanks!

[@Aiello_]

love the livery! (+50hp) xD love the videos, hope some day i build a car in this level :D

[@speedacademy]

+Gabriel Aiello Thank you, we hope you build a car like this some day too :)

[@Doggepp]

The stickers/wrapping look great... Now you're ready to wrap the ASS2000! ;)4

[@speedacademy]

+Doggepp Haha, we kinda love the way the ASS2000 looks like right. Perfect amount of track spec mixed in with a lot of ASS.

[@jamesvasser2941]

Does Beast tronics (sp?) make a PD for the S197 Mustang? That thing is sweet!

[@beastronixracing9477]

+James Vasser Currently we are only working with the 86 (zn6/zc6) platform. We do plan on expanding our vehicle reach eventually, so if there are any annoyances with the car setup that you think could be automated or controlled, email us at [e-mail].

[@jamesvasser2941]

+Beastronix Racing thanks for the quick get back! I'll shoot you an email soon!

[@eoken1788]

haha that's a cool box, I am going to look up people doing the peddle dance

[@speedacademy]

+Eoken It's a complicated one!

[@eoken1788]

+Speed Academy it sure is! I just had to reset my ECU on my Z33 which can be done with a stop watch and some very precisely timed pedal pumps lol. took me like 15 tries!

[@ADTheAwesome]

Eoken why can't you disable the traction control using the button? What's the point of the pedal dance?

[@eoken1788]

Aidan D there is no button from the factory.

[@MaximeTrepreau]

damn, you are so good. best show ever.

[@speedacademy]

+Maxime Trepreau That means a lot THANK YOU!

[@MarkCalica]

How did you guys mounted the lap belt eye bolt?. Is it safe to mount in on the seat bracket?. That's what I did on my street car, but still not sure if its safe...

[@walt350z]

Pedal dance mod is pretty sweet

[@speedacademy]

+walt350z We love it! Every time the car is started we're ready to go rip without having to push any buttons or try to fumble with the pedal dance procedure.

[@jorges2000]

The car looks great. Speed Academy drinking game. every time the word literally is said..

[@speedacademy]

+jorges2000 dude, we literally don't know what you're talking about! Literally!

[@MLeeder53]

I also wrapped my mirror caps. I took the caps off the car and wrapped around the edges so when the wrap tries to contract it wont pull away from the edges. But my car is white so its really noticeable. Looks good though I like it!

[@speedacademy]

+MNachtigal hmm, that's a good tip! We'll have to see if the mirror caps are removable on the FR-S.

[@MLeeder53]

They should be, they were on my BRZ. Trick is to find the hidden tab behind the actuator. It can be a pain but the payoff for me anyway was worth it.

[@speedacademy]

The vinyl is all wrinkly around the edges on ours, so this sounds like a great way to fix the problem. Thanks again!

[@MLeeder53]

No problem. Always looking to help!

[@MichelBalik]

Would you guys consider it safe to run this harness without a cage or roll-bar since it's street legal? It would only be used when on track.

[@C42ST3N]

For road legel harnesses i would stig with schroth. They have the only street legal 4 (or more) point harness with a legal centre lock.

[@speedacademy]

+CF88DRUM These Takata harnesses are fully street legal and the seat belt is a big reason for that because in the case of an accident a paramedic or normal person will know how to unlatch you, with a center lock they may be confused how it operates.

[@C42ST3N]

+Speed Academy Take a look ate the Schroth Profi II FE ASM centre lock. If some does not know how to open that he shouldn´t be able to know how to breathe. www.schroth.com/gfx/dyn/produkte_daten/gross_450/40/2.jpg

[@speedacademy]

+CF88DRUM Haha, yeah that one looks to be perfect for street use too! Good to see that there are several options for street legal belts out there.

[@Resch72113]

Lookin great guys

[@speedacademy]

+Resch72113 I hope you mean the car because both Dave and I need some much needed sleep these days from working too hard haha.

[@stonekrs1]

I am curious to what the car weighs now.. any estimation on weight, or chance of weighing it in the future?

[@PeterTarach]

+stonekrs1 We think it's very close to stock weight, 2,700lbs. The interior probably removed about 30-40lbs but the cage added some back and so does the supercharger system.

[@Streeter_NSX]

Does Pete still have the Evo X from his time at Modified Mag?

[@speedacademy]

+trent streeter No sir, that car was sold years ago. I have an 03 Evo VIII that's at CBRD being put back together.

[@Camhin1]

YAY

[@Yann68895]

Hi there. How did you turned off the BELL of the Security Bell Check ?

[@speedacademy]

There is a small speaker under the driver side dash that you can unplug.

[@Sil3ntSc0pe]

What brand and color is the vinyl for the mirrors and livery?

[@speedacademy]

+Sil3ntSc0pe Its from Fellers.com and called 3M Fluorescent Vinyl. www.fellers.com/fellers-shopping/cat/colored-patterned-wrap-vinyls/sub/fluorescent-wrap-vinyl2/set/3m-fluorescent-neon-wrap-vinyl

[@littlebits6231]

where do you guys get your 86 car parts in canada??

[@speedacademy]

We sourced the parts ourselves mainly, our Speed Academy Shop can help you find the parts locally. Email us: [e-mail].

[@user-bs2cc9ui9g]

I think the reason they want your body to rotate in an accident is so you don't wip your head as much cuz you don't have a hass device

[@Marcking98]

can I have those green takata plz...?

[@umaireg6]

i like your episodes but why you would boost a frs over a s2k is beyond me. that motor is garbage compared to the f20.

[@speedacademy]

+umaireg6 That's why it needed boost! The S2k engine is already making good power NA but the FA20 needs more juice and the supercharger is the perfect answer for reliable power gains.

[@georgecastanza834]

Please do a video to shut these BRZ FRS owners where you compare lap times of an NA S2000 to a TURBO FRS/BRZ... anything to justify paying 25k for 200BHP LOL

[@bossvitorcunha]

+S2k2014 they didnt pay 25k for 200bhp, they paid 25k-(car value) for handling and fast lap times. not rawwwww pawarrrr

[@shadowsaiyan]

+S2k2014 Last time they ran the ass2000 at the track, it ran like 1:20. The FRS with the supercharger now runs the course in like 1:15... I prefer the S2k, but it's currently outgunned BIG TIME.

[@speedacademy]

+duane willis we didn't actually run a 1:15 in the FRS, that was a lap timer glitch that we had a little fun with. But the FRS should be a bit quicker than the ass2k given its power advantage at the moment. They're both hugely fun to rip at the race track.

[@shadowsaiyan]

Ahhh, thanks for clarifying that. On a side note - I'm glad I stumbled onto this channel, it's quickly become a favorite of mine. I always enjoyed your editorials and work over at Modified.

[@speedacademy]

+duane willis Great to hear! Former Modified fans are always welcome here :)
