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 .

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?

I'm using recaro seats on recaro side mount bracket and sliders mounted on Wedge engeineering brackets . The lap belt is mounted to the wedge seat bracket . I dont see you having any problems using the tranny tunnel to mount the harness's.

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

Thanks for replying, I was wrongly concerned that you had mounted it to the sliding part of the seat rail and not to a part that is rigidly fixed to the chassis.

+1 for roll cages

Yeah , the chassis ridgidity gained when installing a roll cage owns , but the added weight from a roll cage in the yaris would really kill what little power this car has Imo . I do have have my eye on this amazing cusco 6-point right here though...

Yeah pricey as hell but its cusco and that price includes shipping from Japan.

rob323 · 01-28-2009, 10:29 PM

Without triangulated bracing, a roll cage does nothing for rigidity, and very little for added safety. I paid less then what RHD want for my extensive welded in cage, but my cage had to comply with the requirements of our local governing body of motorsport in Australia. The Cusco/ Safety 21 cages are not FIA homolgated and do not comply so we can't use them anyway.

Sorry for dragging your thread off topic.
