Mike, Sig, thanks for the heads up... I feel kinda silly now haha.

Here's a question.

Pull up or Pull down.

Pull Down = Normal
Pull Up = you have crew to strap you in?

Edit: NM, I figured it out lol

Damn you are hard core :) A lot of the rental Miatas here have latch and link, which I hate.

Yea, but they don't zip tie the left shoulder+left lap and right shoulder and right lap belt I bet. That way all you got to do is throw the on left side pull up crotch and throw over right side and latch. Also, use surgical tubing to pull the left side left, right side right and the lap belt down and forward. This way the belts always snap to an open position when you unlink yourself. There is no searching for belts or any of that crap and on camlock systems this is impossible. It really is the fastest way I know to do belts in a race car and on a street car that uses DOT approved harnesses its nice to be able to get in and go quickly. If they are not zip tied/surgical tubed then latch and link are a total nightmare.

I have a Robispec harness bar on its way.

Does this affect you autocross classing any? I have been trying to read up on the allowed modifications, but I can’t figure out if this is classified as like chassis brace or something else.

My take on this is that there is already a bar there from the factory. From an engineering stand point the Robispec bar isn't going to increase chassis stiffness much at all. What is will do is provide additional bending strength which is where the factory bar sucks.

More importantly I'm just running regional events at this point to improve my skills. Once I get to a point where I'll run national events I might be more concerned with this.

There's nothing wrong with not letting yourself be ripped off. More expensive doesn't automatically mean safer or better in any way.

Thanks, Ive never heard complaints about Takata.

What would you guys suggest for AutoX and the occasional track day, 4 point or 6 point harness?

I have:

- a harness bar waiting to be installed (thanks Mike!)
- stock seats

I plan to leave stock belts in place (for street use) and connect the harness to the stock belt anchor points using something like this: Harness Mount - Door Side-Rennline, Inc.

This will probably work for a 4 point harness, but for a 6 point I need to find out where/how to mount the crotch straps/anti-sub belt.

Anyone out there who has been down this path?

I just replaced the stock bolt with something like this. They replace the stock bolt, so I have one of those into the left, then drilled the transmission tunnel and added one on the right, 2 more under the seat for the 6 point harness, and 2 more on the harness bar:

The big washers are used for transmission tunnel, floor 6 point....

and here is my custom harness by The R's Tuning (thanks!!)
