Seat belt guide install
 
I noticed that our BRZ seat belt anchor sucks.

Looking around there seems to some cars that have a seat belt guide that attaches to the headrest poles.

For example the Fiat Spider has this: http://compare.ebay.com/like/3103705..._lwgsi=y&cbt=y

Would that install on our seat headrest? Or maybe there is a universal version? Dodge challenger has them too.

Indeed it is... Would love to see if it would indeed fit, or hopefully some creative 3rd party will come up with something like this soon.

After my recent test drive I was thinking of a way to stop the belt from rubbing on my neck to. My original thought was to use a seat belt extender to move the point where the shoulder belt and waist belt come together. It would stop the rubbing and also that would allow the seat to be moved without needing to disengage the belt from anything.

This would look a lot better though. Hmmm

I wonder if the headrest posts are standardized as far as the distance of the posts...

Try one of these it may allow for further clearance from your neck ya never know for 15$ its worth a shot and if not you have cool shoukder cushioning

I noticed this guys are in Atlanta. I've sent them an email to see if I could "stop by" their location and have them try to fit one to see if it would work. I'll let you know if I get a reply.

someone NEEDS to buy it, once I see photos of that working
I would buy it too.

If they fit we should do a group buy.

I'm looking for a way to put in proper racing harnesses (and 1 piece racing seats)… if anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.

And a cage I presume?

Probably start with a 4 point bar, but yes. Will forgo any attempt to put in a harness bar. Chris Musante built me an FIA compliant cage for this car years ago. 2.75". Thing was massive.

I wonder what he can do with a BRZ...

Khyron686 05-28-2012 09:17 PM

Be interesting to see since they say the dash was designed around having one...

Not sure what you are asking.. you seem to understand that a roll bar (or cage) would be required. Seat is easy, either make a custom mount (or if a cage, build a seat mount into the cage structure) or wait for a seat mount adapter from Sparco, PCI, etc..
