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

Yeah, all harnesses have an expiration date, after which if you get pulled over and it's expired you'll probably get a warning or possibly even a ticket. So if you end up buying someone's used harnesses keep this in mind.
The tag with the date on it sticks out like a sore thumb like the tags on your couch that you normally tear off.
