things you NEED to know, about racing seats, harnesses, cages Options

[playr158]

I've been meaning to post this up for a long time, because of the increase in members who want a spiffy rice rocket and grabbing the niftiest ebay racing seats and "drift" harnesses...and as cheapo as possible and fast

so before you click bid now, or your friend gives u some harness that have been laying around for a year or two...READ THIS ENTIRE THING ALL THE WAY THROUGH






key words
SFI, FIA, TUV, CERTIFIED
HARNESSESS should only be used for 2 years
SEATS should only be used for 5 years
CAGES should only be used WITH A HELMET
BELTS should be mounted at CORRECT angles and to a harness bar

ALL RACING HARNESS are illegal (NON DOT APPROVED) on the street except for one belt made by SCHROTH
which is this one

here is a "dumb it down picture"
Blue = everyone who is doing it wrong
Pink = 0*
Red = stay between them

now go and do it the right way

nice post. Definatly somethin that should be known. I take safety as a big factor in my car, hense why i oppeted to pay the $ and buy real sparcos and a set of real momo's in my 83. people, spend the $ on good seats. A set of sparcos can cost you $3000, but a set of cheap ebay Bride Knockoffs can cost you your life.

*sorry to sound cheasy but its true, spend the $ for safety*
