I'm looking at putting a 4pt harness in my car because the S13 seats suxxor and I can't stay in them while autoXing...dang seats!
Anyhow, what are some of the attachment points ya'll use? I don't have a rollbar, so I'll still use the stock belts on the street for safety.
What are your views on using the seat mounting points (rear) for the shoulder belts? Remember, it's a car that gets autocrossed...nothing more. I don't do 100mph tracks (because there aren't any in East TN...suxxor!).
Thanks in advance!
Racing harness...allow me to beat this horse once again...

Where is yours this weekend? Nashville?
Oh, and it's a hatch.
Here's what I've come up with.
For now, I left the stock belts in place for street application. It has been brought to my attention that a harness is very dangerous in a rollover situation without at least a roll bar, since the stock belts allow you to be folded into the passenger compartment, thus aiding in the avoidance of head trauma.
I mounted the 4pt to the rear seat bolts (it's only autoX...not likely to get above 50mph in a fast section for more than 3 seconds). This coming spring, after suspension mods, I'll see about a mid-cage (behind the seat thing) and mount 'em up to it. I'll get a shiney one...so it'll be faster.

ours is at the nashville superspeedway.check out http://www.trscca.com
yea, u shouldnt use 4pt for daily use esp since they are mounted wrong. seatbelts have to be mounted correctly for them to work. u cant just bolt them to the rear seatbelts cause the angle is WAY to steep and if u get in an accident it will compress ur spine. the seatbelt can go 5 degrees below and 15degress above. i have mine mounted not correctly (to the rear seatbelts) but i dont use mine daily and i have airbags, plus i am gettin ready to put a cage or a roll bar.
