Dude dont get harnesses . I had takatas on my car for a week before I removed them. I now only use them for the track which is what there made for.

 

Pretty much new young Evo owner wannabe track car posing at its finest. In other words, NO!

 

lol

 

Great..so it won't kill my passengers but it'll crush my spine...wonderful.

 

Even 4-point harnesses can 'submarine' the driver/passenger, which is why non-poser evo track cars use a harness that is 5/6 point. Do you know how long it takes to secure yourself in a 5/6 point harness? Major PITA.

I track my car fairly regularly and would never use a 4-point harness. If you want the Evo to be more fun, why would you waste your money on a harness bar when there are so many other possibilities to improve your car?

 

That angle is not enough to crush your spine. You can do less than 90º just fine. When you get around 45º or less is when you have issues. We're talking around 65º.

 

Hit something and let me know. If you want to track the car - buy a harness bar and harnesses. You've already said you wanted Takata harnesses though and use it as a street car so it's probably for the same reason all the other rich ricers do...because they R mad JDM TIGHT YO! If they're not required by your event or for safety reasons then it's dumb - plain and simple.

 

agreed, unless its required by your event don't use them everyday.

 

Personally I love the way the recaros look with harnesses. Is it a crime to like the style of something. That being said.....its my DD and sometimes my kids are in the back so no harness bars for me.

 

And if you want to track the car and survive, don't listen to this guy.

 

Exactly. Get a cage and harnesses, or at least a 4 point roll bar.

 

Damn you caught on.

 

To my understanding it's also very dangerous for the driver and front passenger with a harness bar and no roll bar. If you roll your car severely enough and you're strapped in isn't it decapitation time?

 

there are harnesses that you can get that don't need harness bars. they simply attatch to the front and rear seatbelt locations.

 

For those interested in a street harness this is the only way IMO

Ive been on this system for 2 years w/ previous experience in a VW GTI. Its the only way to keep yo butt planted & still use an Inertia Reel
