Default Where have you attached your racing harnesses?

I'm building a 90 si from an 88 dx and I'm using the 88 doors. So to solve the seat belt issue I'm gonna use harnesses since I also do autoX. But I'm not sure where good places to mount them are.
Can I use the rear seat mounting points? Or just drill holes near the storage compartment?

Ideally you want the harnesses to be on a roll bar or cage. If you are going to mount them without either, consider drilling and mounting your shoulder belts behind the drivers seat, in the hatch area a couple feet behind the seat itself. Dont use them in the street or doing driving schools. Should the car deform in a accident or roll over you can compress your spine (OUCH!!)

Be safe and have fun,
Corey

Here's a thread from the Integra forum about running harnesses without a bar or cage.

only to a roll bar... and if do get one, dont get the Y type, where it mounts to one point then splits to the 2 shoulder belts

OMG! Please don't do this. Can you say "unsafe at any speed?"

If you're going to drive this car on the street without a helmet (which goes without saying on the street, yes?) please use the OEM belts. Having the wrong doors simply isn't a good enough reason to risk your life, and a harness certainly won't "solve the seatbelt issue."

Not trying to be rude, but it's obvious you care about safety or you wouldn't ask the question at all. So if you DO care, do it right....use a harness with rollover protection and a helmet, or fix the door issue.

Ya I guess it isn't to safe to be fixed in one place when there is no cage around you to keep the car from crushing you. It also be pretty crappy if you wanna touch your radio or glove box. Oh well looks like I'll be doing some cutting of the b pillars.
