Ok today I just got back from a autocross and I have decided Iam going to need a racing harness. Every turn I make I find myself fighting just tryin to stay in the seat. Its really distracting and cumbersome. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif) I would like to know though for those people who are running them where you are bolting them to, other then a roll bar. I have a completely stock interior and would like to keep it that way because it is my daily driver. And I would also like to keep the stock seat belt for normal driving.

-Thanks Brandon

I have a harness bar - which I like.

I have tried the twist the belt method at AutoX, and pretended it was a CG Lock.. but bought a harness bar from a member of this site.

They are out there if you look, or you can fab one up.

If you are fighting to stay in your seat you may want to skip the CG Lock and go straight to a harness bar. But, that might mean a race seat too, because shoulder straps and the stock seats suck... They will pull on you shoulders instead.

I do like marka's lap belt only idea. I did that every now and again when I had the stock seat and 5 point harness. the lower 3 points of the 5 point system keep you planted pretty good.

If you don't want a race seat then use the lab/anti-sub belt method. Otherwise go the whole way with a seat and belts. (the cg lock has no anti-sub and the belt is narrower then race belts... ala comfort.)
