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.....

you can make the OE seatbelt work with some innovation

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

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

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.
