So, recently got an E30 to build up as a street-legal HPDE car. I live very close to two good tracks so it's an easy drive to/from home, plus I don't have the space or budget for a tow vehicle plus trailer, hence the requirement to remain street legal. No interest in W2W racing either, but I do want to make it safe for track use. Here's my plan so far, but I wouldn't mind getting some more opinions/ideas:
1.) Neck restrain device. This one looks both more comfortable and much less expensive than the standard HANSes. Any opinions?
2.) Kirk 4-point roll bar
3.) Car came with Corbeau FX1 seats, so planning to keep those.
4.) 6-point harness is the obvious route, but there's a lot of choices, what makes for a good vs. bad 6er harness? Also, will I still be able to keep the stock 3-point belts in the car for when it's on the street? Would Schroth 4-points with their fancy ASM and DOT approval be a better option? I thought so at first but then they also state that they're not be compatible with a HANS device, so that's dumb, and I'm now unsure what the best compromise is.
5.) Fire suppression system maybe further down the road, but not right now.
6*.) I have good Nomex gear, but won't be bothering to use that until I get a coolshirt system installed and functional FIRST!
Opinions welcome, thanks guys!
