Which racing seat belt?

[thekawaii]

sorry about the word "racing"i had to write it

i'm going to get rid off all the interior part and i already did half of it done.anyway i don't want the cursed automatic seat belt anymore, i want to buy 4 point racing seat belt.

This's pretty important because i don't want to fly through the front window just in case the accident happens to me.

what's the best. the best. the best AND affordable 4 point seat belt?

2 point will go to each side of the seat (fatory drilled hole), another 2 point will go to where the original back seatbelt was bolted in.

I use a simpson 5 point harness. I rolled 3 times and was fine. Im pretty sure I got lucky though, but the harness kept me in the seat!

[driftin2trance]

i got the G Force and i love it. just make sure its a 3inch.

I don't think you should cheap out on a seat belt that will be saying your life. Are you putting in a cage or harness/roll bar?

[nab911]

I need harnesses BAD too but dont want to spend over $150... any ideas?

[nismofly]

well roll bar so you dont die in the rollover + everything else means you will be spending more than that

what it basically comes down to is how much is your life worth to you, because thats what the expense is here

[nab911]

Well im getting a custom made roll bar and im paying well for that. I just dont understand paying $800 for green takara or whatever seat belts. They are all the same unless you get cam locks... which i DONT want.

[nismofly]

why no cam locks?

you can get a 6-point FIA approved g-force camlock harness for $135

[nab911]

I just want a 4 point black harness. Im getting it ONLY because of the door mod with the convertible and i would feel safer with harnesses over the roll bar than the "ghetto" rigged belts i have now. Im not doing hardcore driving in the vert...

[nismofly]

sparco clubman harnesses sound fine for that, and theyre like $100 or $110

[tyrannix]

im not even a fan of that 5th point, where does a 6th point go? helmet lock or something?

2 inch is not good? 3 inch is pretty big. (for daily driving too.)

is it has to be cam lock?

pretty sure it's put you pretty tight except it'll break your neck LOL

ive got this schroth 3pt that i use for autox and it works great. its surprising how much better you can drive when your not worried about holding on.

[frsh13]

you do relize you cant mount the belts to the stock rear seatbelt locations. That will put the belts at to much of a low angle, you want them to be at a almost 90 degree angle with the seat....

[e_c]

you want the belt coming off the back of the seat to be as close to perpendicular to your spine

[nismofly]

the 6th point is a second submarine belt

[91rs13]

PLEASE get a 5 or 6 pt belt.

With no sub strap on a 4 pt--the belts will ride up and can cause internal injury. The Sub strap keeps the lap belts on your pelvic area (pelvic bones)

The 2 inch belts have actually been found to be better for a lap belt. You will see more of these in the near future in racing.

Also--IF you are installing a harness, you really should only do it if you have a rollbar--with a cross brace to install the belts to.

There are many SFI / FIA approved belts under $100 per set.

if you mount them to where the seatbelt retractors are instead of the floor buckles, its fine. p.s. you can see it in my sig slightly

Geez you say it like your going to crash...

[Juujai]

cam locks, 3", 5/6points with harness bar/cage only.

if not go with a 4-point

[nismofly]

Geez you say it like your going to crash...

youre kidding right?

anyone that doesnt think they can crash immediately deserves a darwin award
