Racing Seats? how far do I go??

[beatlust]

What are you guys doing for seat belts if you have racing seats and no roll bar? Im familar with the racing seat mega-guide but it doesnt really address the belts as well as the seats.. I intend to use the oem seatbelts if possible..I would just stay stock (seats) for the time being but these seats are jacked and i want a solid nice bucket for track time..
What bucket seat recomendations are out there for me? Im 6'+ 190lbs..
Im interested in a cheap track bucket thats not shit..oh and a passenger..and seat belt guidance..please.
thanks.

I use stock seat belts.

Stock seatbelt is just fine, or none at all I guess. JDM style. What Would Koguchi Do?

wwkd haha

to the op, stock seatbelts are much better than some haggard 4point harness setup anyday. improperly mounting harnesses can be hazardous to your health.

Indeed, pretty much the only safe place to mount a harness is to a harness bar or roll cage.

just buy a deep bucket like a bride or sparco... your tiny ass will never fall out of it.

thanks, I intend to re-install the factory type belts. I just didnt know if they'd fit after racing seats..
Are brides gonna be too small for me? I want a seat that isnt totally cramming my crotch/hips for space..

stock passenger, 5pt for driver. no cage.

you also never hit the track because your car is never ready for any events....

no track time=no racing harness

Brides for sure. i got my first brides about 4 months ago. i'll never go to anything else..

Low-blow.

LOL

I have a 4 point Sparco harness sitting in my closet. I may just throw that in for events but for real, what's wrong with stock seat belts? If you don't have a harness bar/roll cage harnesses are too risky with mounting spots. If you mount them to the floor, you run the risk of breaking your back in the event of an accident. If you mount it to the c-pillar bar you run the risk of snapping your neck in the event of an accident. Stock seat belts mount up and hold just fine.

PS- I wouldn't call your car ready for events either, Mr. Open Diff. :P
