Recaro Trendlines and fitting harnesses

[Bear Head]

Right got the factory fitted recaros in my 182 and have seen some with harnesses which look awesome!

The car probably won't ever see a track but I still love the look of the harnesses on the seats, especially yellow ones! So question is, without caging the car or doing anything weird to the standard interior, is it possible to fit harnesses? And maybe remove the seat belts or something in the front obviously?

Only an idea though. Don't want to be some sort of super t**t going to mcdonalds in my race harnesses just think for the amount of use the car has which is really minimal, it'd maybe be cool having the harnesses in there?

Cheers

Race harnesses, fitted and worn correctly, are not nice on a public road, and short of a harness bar are not going to be correctly fitted. Whilst some people have used the top mount point for the rear middle belt, I wouldn't personally use this to restrain two people, and it'd look a bit daft with just one.

In short, it's not worth it.

i thought fixing the harness to the rear lower seat belt mounts was in the acceptable range of angles?

It sounds like a good idea until you try to look forward at a junction/take a parking ticket in a carpark!

Yah the fiancee just told me she doesn't want to look a t**t pulling up to Tescos in full blown race harnesses so yeah that's that one then XD

With the seats still in? No matter anyway.

In my 205, I couldn't even change the radio!

How do people get round the seatbelt warning sound with harnesses fitted?

Remove said bulb or put a film over it, or put something like a chopped seat buckle into the holder
