    Since it seems most of the R56 energy is mostly in NAM, I thought I’d at least post this for archiving purposes and to add value to the R56 community on MA.

    In the winter of 2012 I made the decision to totally remodel the interior of my R56 MCS. I had been doing track days religiously for three years and wanted to upgrade on the safety side of the car. I always though the stock seats were just “OK†even with a 4-point buckle-in Schroth harness. I got the green light from the financial branch and began slaving away in my icy cold garage till the next spring. All interior trim was removed except for the door panels and dash, side curtain airbags removed, and I didn’t bother keeping the passenger seat sensor. Interior painted matte black.

    Seats – Sparco Evo
    Brackets & Mounting – VAC Motorsports & Schroth
    Harness - Schroth Racing Profi II 6PT Camlock Harnesses

    I’m not going to go into brain busting detail, but if anyone has any questions about the process this would be good place to sound off.

    Some things I have to follow-up on:
    • Airbag light is on :-\. Not a huge deal, but it’s not perfect and that bugs me. I need the Bavarian Motor Technik software to pinpoint the fault location and am not to motivated to spend another $300 after all this. At least for this year!

    Before, stock with 4-point quick fit harnesses

    Not a daily driver. That's what my 90whp hot rod Sunfire is for.
