Why are you getting harness mounts when you have a cage?
4 point harness: 2x on the cage, over the shoulders. 1x next to the door, where the seat belt rail is fitted and then 1x being welded on the transmission tunnel.The only other option was to have it fitted to the seat frame but I didn't like that.

Iv said it over on E36coupe already but im loving that half cage , looks so smart and clean where you have left the carpets in. i Would consider going down this route 
Thanks, I couldn't bring myself to pull it apart and turn it in to a track pig. I have always loved the Club Sport it GT look.HSD's have been fitted by AB Motorsport in Warwickshire.
Andy, the owner did the work and had a hell of a time fitting them.
Most of the bolts were seized and he also replaced one of the trailing arm ball joints.
We need to let the suspension settle so have set it up with 2.1 degrees of negative camber for now.
The dampers can be adjusted easly and I will play about with this on the next track day.
Not much to see:
We have had to chuck some 15mm wheel spacers on the front but I think we could have got away with 10mm

Small update after a track day at Donington Park:
The car behaved really well apart from what I think is a los of fuel pressure when going around fast tight right corners. I will have to look in to this as it is really annoying.
I only had a few odds and ends of tyres so ended up with Michelin Pilot SX on the front and some old Hankook Ventus R-S2 on the rear.
A few pictures - not mine but borrowed from other kind PistonHeads
will probably post some more when I get the CD from the expert photographer

Looks good that OP, also liking the E46 tourer on shadowchrome MV2s, very tasty... RE: your loss of fuel pressure, do these have twin pick-ups in the tank? If not could be fuel surge
Thanks - regarding the fuel, I'm not sure to be honest but sounds like it could be surge.I will have a look through the forums and see what can be done.

I get the same issue with fuel pressure in my M3 evo with less than 1/3 in the tank. Most often happens through clearways at Brands Hatch.
Yer, looks like a common problem which I never read about before.I will look for a mod and see what I can do. It can't be good for the engine or my lap times (not that I'm timing).
Donington used a lot of fuel! I did a tank +20 litres in 180 miles on track

Smart and very tidy mods! Looks great on track and also after a detail. What's the condition of the paintwork?
Thanks!Paint isn't too bad really but there are loads of stone chips on the bonet.
The rear arches, I wire brushed out and treated the rust. Not perfect but will give me some more life.
I would love to respray the bad bits but have to keep reminding myself it is a track toy!
