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???? |

You guys missed the point... PCA says you can't use a racing harness with a stock seat, not the other way around. I already have the harness. I can't use it at a DE. They would rather have me use a 35 year old lap belt that leaves me flopping around in my car like a wet fish, and potentially losing control, than to use a 3 year old 5 point racing harness that will pin me to the seat and let me control the car properly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)
But, PCA seems to think there is a liability problem with using racing harnesses on stock seats, so I can work around that. I will get some racing seats, and only put them in for track events. |
