..... Quit remindin me...

I need better seats (about 2" shorter then what I have, EM2s dont have a lot of head room) and I need some harnesses....

dam, Every time I turn around I need some thing else to go faster....... when will it end???... Maybe after I get an F125 Kart??

that can't be comfortable. I've never thought the Si seats were really made for the 4 point but rather just looks and comfort.


I really wanted them to go with my Si wheel but got TenzoR instead.

Let us know how they work out.

Not yet...but I've done some "spirited driving" with it on.

OMFG....talk about PLANTED.

My fat *** DIDN'T MOVE!!!

On a side note....I could "feel" the car more. It was like I was part of the car instead of just a passenger IN the car. I actually got the *** end to swing out MUCH easier just by feeling when the right time was to "twitch" the wheel.

Weird I know...but VERY cool feeling.

It is quite snug...but no choking thus far, and honestly...I don't plan on wrecking with it on (I still use the stock belt for DD), so I'm not worried about hurting my self (another reason for the pads).

It's a 4 point front, Rally4 harness. I have more pics of each mounting point if y'all want me to upload them. (I do need to flip one of the rear brackets though, in my rush to install before work, I got it turned upside down....not good.)

Oh...and the pads. OMFG...TOP quality. Zipper, not velcro, and VERY durable feeling, not just "foam". They cost me about $30 for the pair.

Here's where I got the Harness

Here's where I got the Pads...

I might try and fab something to take the place of this nifty lil gadget.

They have good shipping and fairly fast. I ordered them last Monday around 5pm, and they got here THIS monday around 10am. 1 week, $8 shipping. Not bad IMO.

I'm trying to find a harness bar or the equivalant of. Dezod has access to a few half cages, some with harness bars integrated into them. I had my harness goin into the rear seats (of course) but I want to have them available all the time without using the rear space

Whatcha need it fer?

Honestly...the way I have it set up now (how it's meant to be) is just fine. IMO

Sure having a 4" harness belt WOULD be nice....and a harness bar to accomodate it...but I'm just a weekend warrior lookin' to stay planted...as are most of us....lol

No no, I meant street legal, as in DOT approved, as in they won't hassle you (if you should ever make it far enough) at AutoX events. It's a legal harness, mounted to legal places.

Just something to think about. Like I said, at the local level, they prolly won't even look twice, but further and they might. Dunno...never been there, but I plan on it next year! lol (well...as soon as I can...lol)
