Do a search. There are many threads on this subject. The short answer is that this car is unsafe with harnesses and no rollbar. I've been using a CG lock at the track to tighten and lock the lap belt. Good luck.

Please do some research on this before doing something that has the potential to land you in a hospital bed for the rest of your life.

Harnesses hooked up to the ASM harness bracket will compress your spine in an accident, as will anything that isn't mounted basically parallel with your shoulders.

If it's safety you're after, hook yourself up with a rollbar AND a 5 or 6 pt. harness.

Due to popular demand, though, the Go Fast Lab may soon be selling driving jackets silkscreened with Takata harnesses graphics that make it APPEAR that the driver is wearing a true 4 point system. Ultra JDM right there, yo!

"ASM towel rack 50,000 yen. I guess there is no Home Depot in Milano eh?"

The angle from the eyebolt to the seat is too great. In a roll that would cause you to compress your spine. The 4 point is also a bad idea, since you would anti-submarine from having nothing to hold your jewels in place.

Go with a minimum of a 4 point roll bar and a 5 or 6 point harness and a race seat. You don't have to get german parts though. Momo and Sabelt work nicely too

Technically yes, but if you are going to the trouble of a roll bar, it is safer with an integrated rollbar. I guess its all personal preference, some people cannot live without the convertible aspect. Others could careless for it.

4 pt. harness = asking for TROUBLE!!!!!!!

Just last year I saw someone being airlifted to the hospital after their body was crushed submarining under their 4 pt. harness.

Please reconsider and go with a 6pt harness... be safe!

The hardtop is optional.

For harness you need race seat and rollbar. Unless you are JDM, eriminate one and you got proberem.
