Anyone interested in updating their helmet or looking at buying a new one should look at the special available at Revolution Racegear.
It has a Good quality helmet and hans device for $850.
Its a great addition if you are looking at any kind of motorsport in the future.

Yeah that is a great price.
 
Obviously would require a roll cage and race seat to mount up all the harness.
Plus recommend a wrap around head support seat (i know you have one Steve) and 'HANS' specific 6 point harness (3" to 2" shoulder belts, so its 2" over the hans, fits nicer on the hans then a 3" belt, but 3" is still ok.
 
Just a little picture i came across a while back to show the HANS device, it is a pic of Scott Pye's (V8 supercars) HANS and teathers after a crash at symmons plains in tassy this year. The short teather is brand new length, the long one is from the crash!
 

 
Heres the crash  http://youtu.be/In-s-n-cSZ8
 

 
 

I watched the video the other day. Pretty big impact. Looks like a brake failure which has happened a few times with the Holden/Fords. Sure did stretch a fair bit! At least he is ok.
There was one at the last round, the Bathurst 12hr Holden's had brake failures and the Holden Ute in the Wakefield 300. Must have something to do with heat soak. My brakes have the option of running a cooler on the brake fluid. I wonder if the V8SC do the same thing?
 
 

Nah they dont, just air ducts.
Last year and prior they ran water injection in the air ducts, dont with the new COTF cars, altho the cars are lighter and have bigger brakes.
 
BTW if anyone is interested, i am actually selling a Cobra wrap wound seat (same as yours Steve) and a HANS 3"- 2" 6pt harness. http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/widemr/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Why are you selling that seat?

Brendan,
Why are you selling that seat?

Errr cause im in idiot. Basicaly i also bought the same seat but the carbon fiber version, which is now my drivers seat, thought i would use the other as passenger seat but bit hard to get the seat in and out of the car (which i know ill do alot) just due to the height and size, getting around the cage ect, exp while the drivers seat is in there.
So ill sell it and buy a smaller non wrap around head cobra seat for the passengers

Yes, the seats are difficult to install. The second seat for my car is a Recaro which is a better fit than the Cobra. also better 'wings' than the Cobra. It really keeps the head in the right direction but it is designed for someone with no ass and 'infact' have one! 
The Cobra also has poor lumber support. I fit some higher density foam to elevate the problem. It's a good seat, but the Recaro is a little better in securing the driver and back support.  

Brendan, I will take the seatbelt thanks! Its exactly what I need. Just bring it with you to the trackday.
