you need to properly mount your harness or you could get seriously hurt

cool...

Oh yeah everything is saggin since there is no tension on the harness, so the angle is pretty bad..

there is a slight amount of anlge from the mounting points...to the seat.
about 10 degrees.. its strapped to beefy skunk2 rear brace.. not sure if I like it..
but the belts do go pretty much striaght back..
I may pick up a autopower roll bar until I put in a roll cage

Yes you can, but it's gonna cost you about $1500 or so per seat on Honda Automotive Parts...

you should drop about 3 seconds off your laptimes.

for me it made all the difference in the world.

Nice seat but . . .

Where is the rollover protection? Don't use that harness without it. Most intelligent tech inspectors won't allow you to go on-track with a harness but no roll bar anyway.

Mounting your harness to the strut tower bar is a definite no-no. If you posted this in the Road Racing forum, they'd be all over you by now.

Hey Barry if you read his posts he says that he does have his harnesses munted to a beefy skunk2 rear strut bar. So I mean obviously it can, but I dont think I would trust it though.......
