914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Ever Heard of I/O Port

Posted by: Brando Nov 12 2005, 12:35 AM

They've got a 914 with what looks like a want-to-be sheridan bodykit on the cover for fall 05.

I'm particularly interested in their harness bar. What's the word on their products? Decently priced for harnesses and such so far.

Good folks. Ken, the owner used to race a 914, I believe.
I believe they generally have good prices on most items. I have bought several harness sets from them over the years. I will tell you right now that Ken, in the past, has not been a personal proponent of harness bars in 914s. He prefers the harnesses to be bolted to the firewall. But maybe he has changed his opinions, I am speaking of several years back. He has been a supporter of the Zone 7 area of the PCA for years.
You do mean www.ioportracing.com correct?

Hope this helps

that is correct Dan

I thought the idea behind a harness bar was to keep the straps at shoulder-level (not mount them to the bar). So in case of an impact you're held firmly back instead of pulled downwards to the floorboards or submarining into the groinstraps.

I bought my roll cage from them. No complaints here.
They did what they said they'd do in a timely manner.

Ken is very nice fellow, honest. His office used to be out of his home 10 minutes from me. Bot lots of stuff from him. Never a problem dealing with him.

I have their video camera mount (installed) and a seat-back brace (not yet installed) and both are well-engineered products, which arrived promptly w/o any hassles.
