93blackH22 Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 I was talking to one of my buddies and he said that you need to buy a cross bar for behind your seat to make the harness seats street legal, I looked it up online and all that told me was that I could buy one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93blackH22 Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 one more question about that mount - has anyone been a passenger in the back seat with one of those or would you just not have backseaters :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 +1. Harnesses are a serious pain in the ass for street driving. You'll have a hard time reaching the radio controls and forget about getting in the glovebox with the harness on. Just use your regular seatbelts.

BuddySol Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Just a crossbar? Are you doing this for looks...? I don't really care if its legal or not. But depending how fast you will be going, will your bar be strong enough to withstand a crash? I doubt just bolting it down with 2-3 bolts will do the trick. Most race cars are designed with a structure that can withstand the forces of a crash and most are designed with more than just a crossbar. Just thinking that a crossbar will support your weight x how ever fast you are accelerating is just ludicrous. Hope you have a nice time supermanin' it out your front windshield. I have repeatedly refused to ride in any car that have harnesses that are bolted to the floor or attached to anything that does not loook like a full race cage. I'd rather take my chances of surviving on any surface street with the standard 3-point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93blackH22 Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 man idk I could weld them to the frame (btw I do plan on draggin it later on) but I do need the convience of street but I also need more safety in a coupe that small. I would be getting a cage but is there a spot to weld or bolt on to it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Using a harness on the street with just a rollbar = you're dead. Only time I'd use a harness on the street is if I had a full cage and HAD to make a trip in the car (fill with gas, other car broken and need to get to work, etc).

93blackH22 Posted February 12, 2006 Author Share Posted February 12, 2006 thanks man how much weight do you think that a full cage would add ? Im just guessing but around 150-200 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 Thats how much a road racing cage weighs. Add another 50-75 for a drag cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
