Heads up before you make your harness purchase – the 6-point design is much easier to install.

Already ordered 6 point belts, but let's chat before I go to install these things.

Finished the seat and harness install today, which included fabricating new brackets for the buddy club rails since I could get the seats a little over 1" lower than the buddy club brackets.

For those of you who have installed harnesses, what did you do with the extra length on the shoulder straps? Thinking about rolling them up with a zip tie in the middle, so when all the slack is gone i can cinch it down on itself and keep it from unraveling...

Looking forward to seeing if this mitigates the floaty feeling in corners at triple digit speeds...

That was one of my least favorite things I've ever helped install on a car... ever.

Worse than a clutch?

LOL. It was on DaGou's car; I'm sure he remembers how frustrated I was.

Is that the one that uses the little struts coming out the front of the grille too?

One and the same, though I think my struts will be completely in the grille opening and not through it - need to finish that tonight an shim under the radiator support since I've got the factory lip.

Will have less than 4 hours in it start to finish, but my offer still stands for you to swing by whenever I swap the clutch!
