Recently I discovered that PCA has what I consider to be an idiotic rule... You cannot run a racing harness in a track event if you are running stock seats. Seems they would rather have you use a 35 year old lap belt that won't even properly retract at times, leaving you bouncing around the inside of the car unable to properly control the car than use a modern racing harness. But what do I know.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
So, I need some recommendations for some inexpensive racing seats, with holes in the backrest for the harness, that will fit on the stock 914 seat tracks. I am only going to use them for DE and TT/AX, so I want to be able to put the stock seats back in the car the rest of the time. What works good in a 914???? |

What works good in a 914???? you can use racing seats with the stock belt i do and it seems to work ok not like a 5-6 point but your legal and the seats have good bolstering so they hold you in pretty well.if you do the 5-6 point on the drivers side you must do the same on the passanger side .doent make sence to me either because when im doing a track day no ones in the seat .If you just go with the race seat on the drivers side and stock belts you can leave the Passenger side alone and your good.thats my understanding but double check with the safty person in your region.The seat in my 1970 in made by Koenig and it fits real nice and looks real close to stock from the rear of the car .you cant hardly tell from the outside of the car i wish i had pixs maybe i can get some soon..Hope that helps |
