seatbelts
 
ordering some Takata 4-Point Seat Belt Harness. Cant wait!! anyone got a pair in their FD?? i was just thinkin would it fit perfectly in the stock seats? because i was thinking of changing my seats to some nice red Recaro ones if the 4-point dont fit.:wallbash:

1. Takata is some SERIOUSLY, SERIOUSLY overpriced stuff. It is no better than any of the other racing harnesses from big companies (Scroth, Simpson, etc) and costs 3-4 times the amount. That and harnesses expire after a few years. :)

2. Where do you plan on mounting the shoulder harnesses to?

3. Wearing harnesses on the street without a rollbar/cage is NOT a good idea.

Make sure you get a Harness bar or cage. Otherwise you will die in a crash.

Unless your going to be wearing a helmet EVERYTIME you drive the car... dont get a cage.

Harnessbar is the way to go.

ohh right..yeh i heard bout that from some people. So does that mean the rear people sitting in the rear seats will be difficult to get in?? i just hope i dont get stopped by the police when they see the bright green harness seat belts=p it may not be llegal in this country(Ireland)!! ahh feck..

A rollbar should be padded anywhere you can hit your head on it, helmet or no. A harness bar is not going to keep the roof from caving in on your head when you roll the car wearing harnesses that keep you in place instead of the stock belts which will give a little.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Wearing harnesses for street driving without a rollbar in the car is DUMB.

I have Takata's in my FD and I have a rollbar :).

Listen to everyone here and take the necessary precautions to be safe if you want to wear harnesses.
