No .
They are made for track use . Nitto rear upper strut tower bar , megan c-pillar bar , Miracle cross brace rear X-brace(that really stiffend the car up) also the Takata harness are used by all the jgtc teams in japan , so they are the "real deal" . I'm setting up my car for a nice , fun daily driver / weekend auto-x'er / show car .

I've got a set of takata's myself for the STi.

the reason I ask is it appears the harnesses would do more damage then good in their current state.

Have you looked into safely securing it to so they don't compress your spine?

looks like you've already lost your back seat, a rear cage wouldn't be a terrible idea. :)

I'd just hate to see you get in a minor collision and damage your spine.

Harnesses are only safer when they are properly installed (as I'm sure you know).

Yeah bro already discussed in this tread... Nobody makes a harness bar for the yaris (Yet) I know of the risks involved with the way the harness's are installed right now and I'm cool with it thanks

Nice pics! I just wished the seats were covered in red fabric when matched with the Takata MPH340R harness :) That would have made it very JDM :)

Where did you get your CF hatch?

Thanks , I'm all over the red recaro replacement seat covers after these ones get worn out . Hatch is made by seibon .

A couple of questions, are the Takata harnesses SFI or FIA rated? And where have you mounted your inside lap belts to? Just to a tab on the rails, or to the transmission tunnel?

I am in the process of researching harnesses for my car and have just fitted additional harness mounting points to the car, hence the questions.

Cheers,
Rob.

Yeah takata's are FIA certified, the set I have is good till 2011 . The harness's came with four o-ring bolts that screwe right into the stock seat belt holes .

rob323 · 01-27-2009, 09:32 PM

Is the inside lap belt (ie. centre console side) mount on the seat (like in my echo) or on the transmission tunnel?

botchilah · 01-29-2009, 05:35 AM

Them CUSCO cages do work as a tension device (I think that's the right term) but offer no real roll-over protection. I've got one in my Supra MKIV but the guy who used to own it says it's more a Clubman Type 'cage or a drifting cage. Nothing professional. No FIA / SFI rating. But CUSCO do make a bolt-on 'cage that's FIA certified.

I know it works because my Surpa's quite old (1995) but feels tight like a virgin!
