Yeah it seams as though there's something missing? That's all you got with the harnesses? Who did you buy them from? Cus they look too short.

so now not only will your back be compressed 4 inches but your neck will be snapped too.

Sounds like fun!

how is his neck snapping?
and at what angle of deviation off the horizontal center does the harness have to be at to not "compress your back 4 inches"?

His neck will snap when he rolls the car and cannot move out of the way becasue he is strapped in tight. to his seat. The Harness should be parralle to just a hair lower than shoulder height.

Great.

Race harnesses in a street car with no rollcage?

**** how many times will we all have to see this type of **** here? I wish I had $5.00 for every thread that debated harnesses in a street car without rollover protection such as a rollbar.

Stock seatbelts will allow you to slide away from the roof that would be caving in on you in the event of a roll over - harnesses will hold you snug and you'lll be crushed to death.

Nice research there!

Looks like another case of FF-Squaditis where someone wants JDM parts for the coolness factor.

where is he rolling this car?
is it on the street? does this car see the track?

and what angle? i doubt "a hair" is the mandatory mount angle governed by the scca or nasa.

if you are on a racetrack though, you cannot run 5pt/4pts without a cage.

Honestly, in a roll over, you have no ******* clue what is going on. Have you rolled a car? It happens so fast, and you don't know what is comming from where. Trust me, I know. You aren't going to 'slide away from the roof' in a situation like rollover.
