Seat/Harness Questions
I will be doing autocross with my IROC this year for the first time. The seatbelts in my car right now don't seem to work properly - I can never make them lock up. That doesn't make me feel good if I get in an accident... Anyway, this car is meant to be a daily driver, occassional drag race at the drags, autocross, and show car (you name it!).
The goal is to install some sort of 3 or 4 point harness to hold me snug in the seat for autocross, but still be able to use the rear seats. Is this possible or am I dreaming? Thanks for any help you may have.

Re: Seat/Harness Questions
The seatbelts are inertial and will work in an actual accident or even under heavy braking. At least that's how it is in mine - otherwise I can yank at them all I want and they won't lock.

Thanks, tried that on the way in and they do lock up. I guess the bigger issue is, how do I get myself to be snug in the seat for autocross without having a spiderweb of belts in the backseat?
