Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Racing seats

If you have racing seats with a harness what do you attach the harness to if you have no roll cage?

What racing seats you have? Most racing seats have lil holes or slots where you put the racing harnesses thru and it just attaches to the seats.

I want to get sparcos (eventually) i was just wonder were to connect the belts.

to the seat I guess?

i believe you can mount the harnesses to the stock rear seat belt mounting points, but i could be wrong. i have a set of corbeau A4's coming in tomorrow though so i'll post telling how the install went and show some pics too .

can you put a harness in stock seats? because our seats have that little thing in the headrest

you are correct, and also thus rendering the rear seat useless to a passenger.


yep

sweet!! i want a harness on my seats but only if i can still have people sit in the back..how can i do this?

tell 'em to just get in and sit in a position where the belt wont be in their face

the harnesses i got are corbeau double release 3 points which have a buckle on the back end behind the seat. this way you can unbuckle the back half and have the rear seat accessible if someone needs to get back there. check them out on www.corbeau.com [corbeau.com] if you wanna find out more.

(here's a pic of what i'm talking about though)

Ideally you should mount those harnesses at shoulder level. Mounting it low like on the rear seat buckle might cause your spine to compress in an accident (not good). It will be safer use the stock seatbelts in that case. I am not that familiar with your celicas yet so I do not know if there is a good reinforced point at the backboard (or behind the backboard at the trunk) where you can install your harness.

i was thinking of getting some 5 point ones but after awhile i kind of lost interest in them. they still look good on celicas.

you wouldnt have to but the back seats will be gone or down all the time.

wait i dont understand this, how would you put a harness on stock seats without losing your backseat?

Actually I did some research and sparco sells the bolts that your seatbelts clip into. You could drill some into your floor and attach the belt. This way you wouldn't lose your backseat.
