Recent technical regs updates.

Postby M3 Compact » Mon Apr 23, 2012 9:36 pm

Haven't used my car for a couple of years and I want to bring it up to current technical regs spec, to facilitate the possibility of a last minute decision to wheel it out.
I've had a look through the blue book, but I'd be grateful for clarification/confirmation about a few issues.....

Spill kit required. Recommended supplier?
Window film. Got plastic windows.
Seats. Mine are FIA 2004, with proper mountings, so I'm ok until the end of 2012?
Mud flaps. 4mm Sorted.
Extinguishers. Recertified.
Fire proof helmets. Sorted.

Do I need a dry break fuel coupling? (Recommended method/supplier if I do?)

Any more recent regs I might have missed, or anything I might have forgotten about?

Thanks in advance. :)

Sounds like its almost ready to go!? the spill kits are about a tenner from demon tweeks etc, pretty sure the fuel couplings are only required on newly log booked cars. however random cars were tested at mira on saturday.

Thanks Adam.
It's the dry break fuel coupling that I'm most confused about. I've read the section over and over without being able to decipher it with any certainty. :?
