My interior upgrade plan

abm89 · 01-15-2021, 09:25 AM

I can chime in on the seats. I don't recommend a full bucket for a daily, especially if you're over 30yrs old (rusty is about to make fun of me for thinking that's old). I eventually got sick of getting in and out of the car all the time with the extra bolstering. A reclinable bucket will cost much more, but that is your best option for beginner track use and daily driving.

Agreed. Fixed back racing seats blow in traffic.

And the reclinable racing buckets usually aren't FIA certified, which would be a requirement for someone who is safety conscious.

True. It may give them some extra head room if the OEM bucket is too high.

Another option is to just swap the bucket in before track days. I did keep my FIA seat for that reason.

I think you should not spend a dime until you've done a shitload more research

Starting with looking up your local racetrack and signing up for some driver education with a professional

Also, meet some local track junkies and pick their brains

and don't buy a seat until you've sat it in to test fit.

You don't get it. Just spend your money on seat time. Get enough skill and speed to warrant a race seat, harness, harness bar or 4 point roll bar. When you are fast enough to compete or times fast enough to do so then you can go hog wild. Oh get a fire extinguisher!

Install the roll cage on the outside of the car and you'll be good to go

Read thru the thread you linked and you’ll have your answer to both questions on safety and availability.

You want a cage? Like others have suggested, go talk to a road race shop, get some first hand knowledge.

Why do you think you need one? I don't have one in my car and it is due to one reason. It is a street car. If I get into an accident without a helmet there is a good chance I will crack my skull open without a helmet. No thanks. it is my opinion is you need a roll cage, you need a helmet and other safety gear to go along with it. Do what ya want. Some folks put it in there.

JARblue · 01-15-2021, 07:55 PM

It's your car. You can do whatever you want. I don't know why you insist on continuing to ask questions about parts that people have already told you that you don't need yet. Spend your money on seat time. You'll need things like an oil cooler and fuel starve solution long before you have any need for a roll cage.

I suggest you check out Facebook if you just want random strangers on the internet to validate whatever decision you make no matter how dumb it is.

"You'll need things like an oil cooler and fuel starve solution long before you have any need for a roll cage."
Good advice.

Otherwise, why not be nice?
