Hey s14tinman, try going to www.imagestation.com or one of those things and post all your pics in it and send us the link. It will be a lot easier. It wont take up much space too.

nokeone · 07-14-2003, 09:30 PM

great pictures...

..nice high quality...

DRFT · 07-14-2003, 09:44 PM

Nice pics tinman. Was it your friend who had the video camera filming all of us while we were on the freeway? because i was talking to him at the gas station and he said he'll have it up within a day or two.

Well i've heard the best way to do the harness is use the seat belt bolts for the bottom connectors. then for the rear is to connect it to the rollcage bar. However, if you dont have a rollcage bar you can buy a guide bar(which doesnt look very safe to me). And the last way, which i was thinking of; is to use the rear seat belt bolts for the backs of the harnesses. Now if i get into a crash w/ a harness i will be stuck, so if i flip, i'm screwed. And if i hit head-on i guess the way the harness is hooked up could give me paralysis. But I dont see how my stock seat belts are much safer. in an accident it will probably have like 2" more slack than the harness(not enough to dodge a roof collapsing. And people get back injuries all the time. Basically, i'll probably get a rollcage like the one s13chica has. But for now i'm gonna hook it up to the stock seat belt points(the best way to do it; because those spots are at least reinforced). If you have any "God damnn you moron" comments feel free to post em as long as you back em up w/ something that might scare me out of doing it. hehe. So do you have pics of those brown seats? i didnt look very close when i got the signal.

I have picts...soon I guess. They are dirty cause I'm too lazy to clean, but I think there are no holes atleast. I forget.

Re the harness. Seriously look up the rules and specs for race harnesses. Imo the most important thing in a car is how the driver is protected in the event of a crash. Saving money or doing something half assed when it comes to belts and harnesses imo is never worth it.

Harnesses are setup and designed so that no matter what type of crash, the driver is projected forward against the belts.

There is alot of information out there on how belt tension, slack and other aspects of driver deceleration are critical to survival and minimizing injuries. Ideally the driver does not experince any deceleration, the chassis experinces it for him/her (s13chica). This is one of the reason BMW makes all that big talk about seat belt pre-tensioners, they improve the survivalabiltiy (sp) of the passengers by minimizing passenger movement in a crash.

There is tons of research on this topic I think more people should undergo before making a choice. I think I will be spending atleast a week researching different belt materials and their benifits/risks.

SiNFuL · 07-14-2003, 10:06 PM

alright. pics would be cool. if they're beige im interested, if they're brown brown, then no thanks. One of the things i like about drifting by myself and why there are probably so many street racers(besides FnF and Initial D) is because of the requirements at a track. I mean most are reasonable, but by the time your done you've invested so much money into making it all-out race; no room for daily driving. hehe. I guess the idea is you keep that car for racing and buy a beater for daily driving. I forgot what else i was gonna say.

-Galen

thx247 · 07-14-2003, 10:12 PM

I am one of the belivers in having two cars and not trying to make a race car daily driver. A race car just has too many concessions necessary in order to be safe while being fast.

They are brown like maple syurp. I won't bother with picts then.

stealthj · 07-14-2003, 10:25 PM

hey Galen and anyone else down to cruise right now, wanna chil, im free....gf has home work yay

stealthj · 07-14-2003, 10:30 PM

oh this is my emial and **** [email protected]

ask me for my # on AIm or osmethign my sn is R240GT

SiNFuL · 07-14-2003, 11:11 PM

im down for a late night cruise. Although, one prob. I can take backroads all i want, but if i don't have someone w/ me in the car at night, I promised my mom i wouldn't drive freeways. Now expressways aren't freeways, so I can basically go anywhere, just more scenic and a little longer.

nokeone · 07-15-2003, 03:50 PM
