Just raced another AutoX on Sunday and did some more seat adjusting. Now I clear the headliner only by the thickness of a flea's pubic hair. It works for me and I really don't have the money for racing seats just yet.

Now if only I had a alignment rack in my garage.....

 

My question with that set-up is where does the shoulder belt lie with someone in the car and buckled in? It also looks as if the effectiveness of the belts will be very dependant on how far back the seat is... I would really want to see what the set-up looks like with people of different sizes in different positions...

 

it shouldn't matter, the buckle is on the seat mount and moves with the seat just like OE and the belt side slides along the floor bar mount just like OE and the shoulder belt height adjustment is still OE

people of large sizes are SOL because they won't even fit in this particular seat

I just set it up like OE, fit me perfectly and locks me in so well (with the belt emergency latch kicked in and the seat slid forward to hold it tight against my body)that I opted to not install a harness for autox to avoid the weight penalty

 

were you there at the autocross practice when Spice Boy went on the ride along with me. Don't know how that boy fit, or even got out at the end of the lap


For me, I am just used to driving now with my head tilted.

 

Ahh ok... I was just curious because it looked like the shoulder support would force the belt either too high or too low.

Hey... if it works for you and seems to work properly, no reason not to do it.

 

Helmet came in and with some adjusting of seat, putting it all the way down and reclined a bit I fit. Also sliding back the moonroof cover helped a bit too. I'm 6"3 BTW

 

I'm 6'0" and did my first autocross yesterday. It's the first thing you notice when you sit in the car the first time with a helmet on. I had to pull the seat forward a little and lean it back a little.

 

Haa...this is why you rawk...good to know your getting some good helmet too...

6'2" w/o sunroof and I got's no problem...
