What seats are you running?

[csamsh]

Cool. I assume you just added eye bolts and reinforcement plates?

It looks that way.

Ok so here are my lap belt attachments-

Mark, make sure you get a piece of safety-wire or a tiny cotter pin in the lock hole of the snap-link. At least in our region, NASA tech was cracking down on that in post-race safety inspections as well as at the annual tech...

I was looking to put a set of racing seats in my car with either 4 or 6 pt Harness. My car is not a DD but I would like to use it on the weekends every so often. I was told by a reputable source that only the standard 3 point harness is street legal and you could be ticketed for having a 6 pt harness. That could be a problem in my area because I've come across number of police run seat belt check points. Has anyone encountered any problems in this area.

You are mostly correct. Schroth makes a harness that is street legal, as it has the red "press" button to release it.

However- you wouldn't want to use a harness to drive on the street anyway. When it's tightened down, you can't do things like look over your shoulder or reach for anything. Retain your stock belt and use it on the street, and just put the harness on when you go to the track

Anybody know what air bag bridge resistors I need? I have an 06 mustang gt.

 

[o2sys]

Not sure about 05-06 but 07+ need 2-2.2 ohms....

Thanks o2sys. I need to find out about the 06. Make sure I don't get the wrong one and deploy an airbag or something stupid.

these work?

EDIT- Those in the link will not work. They have the wrong connector. Looks like the Ford part and a resistor change to 2ohm from 10ohm is in the order now.

 

[o2sys]

Ford sells airbag delete plugs. They are about half the price. Try those first.

Seats arrived today. They are the Sparco Fighters. Gotta say, they look great, are very light and miraculously fit perfect.

Those zoomed in spots are on the sticky material. Camera sucks, but they are grippy.

I'm pretty well pleased. I got the airbag simulators on the way. I went with the $55 ones because they have the correct 2 ohm resistor already in it as opposed to buying the ford part that has a 10ohm resistor that would need to be changed. Just waiting on my seat brackets to get here. 2 sliding brackets and 2 seat bases ($350), 2 seats ($1140) and the 2 seat simulators($110) total $1600. Not bad.

Thanks for your help Gmitch.

jayh007, Schroth makes an excellent harness and the red "button" version is really nice. Since my Mustang is a 'daily driver' that spends some time on the road courses using stock seats, I had a set of the Schroth Profi II ASM FE (4 point). However, if you're going with an aftermarket race seat, I highly recommend going with the 6 point version. There is also a version if you plan to wear a HANS device.

They sent those to you? Fucker put the wrong address on them.

They look good. I'm still trying to find a good deal on some sparco evo seats.

Sounds like a good deal. Post a review when you get them installed I am curious to see how it goes. Also who did you purchase the seats from?

I'm waiting on Sparco bottom mount bolts and the airbag simulators. I already have the passenger seat out of the car. As soon as they get here I will finish it up.

Passenger non-power, leather seat weighs 50lbs. So there is a 20lb savings over the new seat and bracket. Interested to see the driver side weight as it is a power leather seat.

I purchased the Wedge Seat brackets with sliders from http://wedgebrackets.com/master-bracket-guide/

Seats were from Amazon.

What bottom mount bolts did you have to order from Sparco?

 

[Ssiptang]

Just curious, So with the resistor/simulator, do airbags deploy upon impact? Or does it disable them?
