Guest Slash Guests Posted 20/07/10 01:07 PM Share Posted 20/07/10 01:07 PM 4point harness with no cage is very dangerous. In the event of a rollover, your head will have insufficient room to move & subsequently be crushed.Tocchi has fitted a Bride Zeta with minimal modifications to seat/rail. If you buy a second rail, you can just bolt/unbolt each seat before & after your track day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregor Member 459 Member For: 15y 8m 8d Posted 21/07/10 10:29 PM Share Posted 21/07/10 10:29 PM to be legal you'll probably have to get the car engineered with it installed. Depending on other mods that may not be so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XR8 broken so I gotta use the F6 haha)ideally, I want to get fixed brackets made, as you get a little bit of flex with my setup.its height adjustable on the sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
