There is no rationalizing the evaporation of one's bank account in this manner, so its best not to think of the price or pricelessness of it.

Thats what I did and that will work, you just can't use harnesses and seat belts at the same time. if you want to switch to harnesses you need to remove the bulk head. I did this with the bar still in the car by cutting the bulkhead down the middle with a sawzall.
thats what i'm going w/ then

I will be cutting my bulkhead too once I get my 6 pt harness and bucket seats. It will be a street legal set up so the OEM seats and seatbelts will be reinstalled every year or two for VA safety inspection.

Yes, I think a couple of us run the same set up and I think he is a GPW red/red also. I will be cutting my bulkhead too once I get my 6 pt harness and bucket seats. It will be a street legal set up so the OEM seats and seatbelts will be reinstalled every year or two for VA safety inspection.

This is DOT approved and also the only smart 4pt as it has this interesting antisubmarining technology. Any 4pt without the same type of antisubmarining technology is in fact very dangerous as the shoulder belts will effectively pull the lap belt up over your pelvis where it will go on to crush your intestines and possibly your spine.
This pretty much sums it up [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR_FhuSEaU8 [/media]
So having said that, don't get a 4 pt harness if you are going to track your car, even the one above. Its not worth the compromise. Just do it a few track events on normal 3 pt belts with CG lock and then suck it up and get 6 pts and a proper seat that accommodates a sub belt. As leadfootgirl mentioned, you will be much less fatigued and more in control. Which means you go faster.
