Lifetime warranty on seatbelts...

Quote from Subaru.com warranty disclaimer:

Seat Belt Lifetime Limited Warranty

SEAT BELT COVERAGE lasts for the useful life of the vehicle and includes seat belts and related components which fail to function properly during normal use.

This warranty does not apply to cosmetic appearance, such as color fading, when the seat belts function properly. Coverage also excludes any electrical related components or body anchor points.

I heard back from Subaru, the lifetime warranty is only valid in certain countries not including NZ.

Today I fitted the second hand belt that Boon grabbed from pick'a'part (thank you very much) and found a difference that I didn't know about.

My original BH5B belt had an extra 2 pin plug that the replacement belt was missing:

After a bit of googling, it's a tension reducer. Mentioned in this 4th Gen manual as an option:

Quote from Takata (Subaru seat belt manufacturers):

The tension reducer is a device that lessens the feeling of restraint and confinement when the seat belt is fastened. It helps reduce the force applied to the winding of the webbing around its spool.

So I've installed the new belt and left the tension reducer unplugged. Now it just hugs a little tighter when fitted.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
