I want to come to deals gap just to make fun of you in your racing harness.......and I think 99.9 perecnt of people don't PLAN on rolling their car....

I'm just messin with ya snuggles.

 

Where did you get the harness bar and how much was it?

 

Double post sorry.

 

Here is the un-blinged version of the bar with manly black seats.

 

haha, knowing him he prob did

 

mahjik I understand what you're saying. Is that speculation or have you seen or read proof of this in an rx7?

 

super nice where and how much??

 

It's not really RX7-specific. I saw an E36 M3 roll over outside turn 3 at Summit main several years ago. No cage, the roof collapsed severely on the passenger side since it went down first (rolled to the outside off a left-hand turn). Both driver and pass were wearing harnesses with factory seats. The driver walked away since the roof held up pretty well on his side, but the passenger was taken to the hospital with neck trauma as the roof collapsed onto his head. Not sure what happened to him after that, but it took them at least 10 minutes just to get him out of the car onto a stretcher. During that time, you could see that the harness held his body upright in the seat, his head just had nowhere to go.

Having seen that, I would never suggest using a harness without a cage or at least a rollbar. A rollbar would probably be safe, but at least for me with a helmet on, I'm already touching the ceiling so there isn't much room there.

 

Possible? yes. Probable? Well, every crash is going to be different. As always, the goal is not to crash, however we wear seats/harnesses for "just in case".

 

I installed my harness bar some time ago, and I must say that fitment was superb.

 

wow this is some serious subject matter we are discussing here. how interesting and a great point without a complete safety equipment ie; cage roll w/ harness andd god knows what else. what really is the point on having just the harness!!!!!!

 

Well, I'll say this:

I have run without a rollbar and the M2 harness bar for a few years. I have never flipped my car during or prior to the harnesses being installed. I do have a Kirk 4pt rollbar now though.

Now, I'm not saying "I did it, so it's safe for everyone". It's more for education. I do my best to provide enough information for people to make their own "informed" choice which is why I recommend to people not to use harnesses without a rollbar/cage.

So, harnesses without a rollbar/cage... do people do it? Yes. Should they? Probably not however there are a lot of things people do with cars that they probably shouldn't as well.

 

lol +1

 

I still don't understand why Rich painted his car pink to match the seats????

 

nice job, uncle Rich

when are you taking this beast to the track to put the smack down on some 911s and posts a few vids?

about tme to supdate the sig as well

 

 

yeah,

I could focus on that bar about as well as if a naked girl had her **** hanging over it.

 

reminds me of Labreck's "pink FD" quips with regard to my car, without the right lighting or a mediocre camera, any red car can look "pink" (including his old Z06)

 

okay i still have a question??? where and how much???
