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.

There's another option (though a lap belt works well). |

Hey that one's even a couple dollars less than the one I posted... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And still from a sponsor too. Quick note on the Torso harness. if you are a BIG person (like me, 6'2" 260#) bear in mind that the torso harness is strapping you to the seat back, which is held by a flimsy little seat clip to keep it from going forward (as the factory allows for rear seat entry). It is also the only thing keeping you in the seat laterally other than the lap belt. BTW the stock seats were never designed for this lateral loading high up in the chest area. I have used the Torso Harness a fair amount. It needs to be tight across the chest to be effective. It limits to some extent your breathing, and if a large person, the lateral forces are enough to cause the narrow belt to dig into your skin. Just want you to have all the facts before moving forward. I too feel like the lap belt suggested by marka sounds like the best alternative for you. Bock |
