Need to get my bro a b-day present.
Okay... my bro is turning 20 years old, he has a white FC
hehe, felt like showing those off.. all I gota do is paint my car yellow and you can call us the red suns. (initial-d)
Anyways, I'm looking into buying him a racing seat. He does alot of auto x'ing, racing on road courses and I know hes always driving around lime creek (hes a soph at UT)
I want to get him a pretty snug but comfortable racing seat and a harness. What would be a good harness ??? I really am cluless to seats. Is a 4 or a 5 point harness good for a stree/race car. And whats a good seat... any kind of input would be great, his b-day is on the 8th

Other seats and harnesses:

I'm not sure if the seat and harness is such a great idea, because a rollcage is really needed to take full advantage of these items.
How about a nice SNELL SA helmet instead of seat and harness? The thing is, he can autocross with the stock seat and harness, but he still needs a helmet. He may already have one, but if not, this would be a good present because nobody likes to use the sweaty loaner helmets at the autocross. IMO the Simpson Voyager SA (Nomex) is an excellent all-purpose RX-7 helmet, and it's a lot cheaper than your seat/harness and FMIC ideas, and it doesn't require any installation. If you want, you could even make it a package deal with a nice helmet bag and some extra shields.

Driving shoes and gloves are also pretty good if you know the correct size.
