After purchasing and installing my Sparco harnesses (https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=496593), I was a bit bothered by my lap-belts. I had managed to keep my stock seatbelt in original working order, but I was constantly having problems finding places to put my lap-belts when they were not in use. As a result, I purchased a clip in kit. I followed the directions from S& M Racing which proved to be very helpful.

I followed all the steps with the following exceptions:

1.I removed the entire exhaust system. This really helped because it was easier for me to work on the car from under, and I was able to clean my exhaust and weigh it. (FYI the JDM spec Mugen twin loop for the DC2 weighs as follows: B-pipe = 18.2lbs / Axel back = 19.4lbs)

2.I used a 2 ½” washer in front and a backing plate in rear (see illustration below).


3.I did not place my left eyebolt in the stock mounting bracket. I drilled an extra hole in the floor behind the seat and placed it there. I did this because I was unhappy with the fitment of the eyebolt in the sock location. The stock seatbelt could not swivel like it once did with the eye bolt in place. I followed the same directions as with the other, and double backed the eyebolt with an extra nut.



4.Since I had so much thread left I figured I would add an additional line of safety. After everything was installed I dilled a hole through the bolts close to the nut and interested a pin. If under any circumstances a bolt came loose, it would not wiggle out completely and still be able to serve its purpose.




Here are the pics:

I tried to get a good pic of the hidden washers under the carpet, but they did not come out good:



Finished product:


I installed roll bar padding as I was advised to do so:

I find it interesting that:
A) You still have heatshields installed with your Mugen exhaust, and
B) You couldn't find a place to put the lap belts when mine have been sitting on either side of my seat with no problems for the last year

Ha,ha. I would have thought you would have noticed it Bob.

I guess no one reads the posts, just looks at the pictures. Ha, ha.

P.S. Yeah, I had my lap belts at my side but they got anoying and it did not look clean, IMO.

The fact that the Mugen axle back weighs more than the b pipe?

Whoops...I sort of forgot about the little things that matter when you still have interior in your car.

I didn't say anything because it didn't really surprise me at all...the exhaust is noticeably heavier than stock. I think the b-pipe is close in weight to the stock one, but the axle back is probably about 10 lbs. more.

We all forget about the little things sometimes.
