I don't track the car that often and I hope I don't crash! I don't want to change the seats because they are more comfortable then the GT3 seats to me.

Without a helmet and full roll cage, you're safest with OEM three points. Since you do not track very often, is the safety risk really worth the marginally better performance?

Not to mention that the anti-sub belts need to come up through the seat bottom and anchored below the ****, not wrapped around from the front like they are currently. Anyone who installs a harness this way should see a vid of a driver in a crash even with a correctly installed harness. There is a serious amount of movement. With these depicted, it'd be really quite dangerous. Buddy, I hope you don't crash either.

Buddy,
It looks like my pics are getting a lot of mileage!! Haha!

Regarding your belts, I agree, you need to fix them. The shoulder harnesses need to be fixed against spreading and the sub belt should be redone. Regaring the sub belt, when you don't have a seat slot, you should run it through the crack between the seatback and seat and sit on it instead of running it in front of the seat. You are trying to arrest forward motion. Your location of the sub belt will require YOU to travel to the belt.

FIX IT!

Just saw this post again....I didn't mean to start a big thing about your harnesses. I think everyone's pointed out why they're unsafe. Just looking out for the safety of a fellow 6speeder!

Okay, guys I get what your saying about the harnesses. Not sure what my answer is though because I don't track the car that often, so I don't want to put GT3 seats in it. Maybe I will have to just buy one and swap it in when I go to the track.

Dabum,

It is nice to be back, thanks!

Go to a good custom interior or refurb source, have them slot your seats and finish the holes w/matching leather. It's a nice custom feature. I had it done to both OE leather seats in a Porsche I had a few yrs back. Saves a lot of bucks, keeps you in a comfy seat, and gets the job done in an inconspicuous manner.
