At some point this year I'm planning on taking my e30 to Road America and Blackhawk Farms for a track day or two. I've been to both with my track bike before, but I'm about ready to give up the 2 wheel dream for safety/job reasons.
Moving forward, I'm thinking about upgrading my awesome stock comfort seats to a set of reclining Bride's out of my cousin's totaled e36, and I would like to use a harness for track days while retaining the OEM 3 point harness for street use. My car is and always will be a road car, used 5-10 times a month.
I know that there are safety concerns in using a roll bar + harness in the event of a rollover (not allowing driver to move side to side in case roof collapses), so I want to keep the OEM belts as an option driving too and from the track.
My question is, for those of you using a harness and roll bar, where do you mount the harness if you also want to keep the OEM belts? I have no idea where the typical mounting points are for harnesses in e30s..
Attached is the Road America checklist, and it says "Seat belts/anchors" so I want to make sure that when I roll up I'd be allowed on track with whatever set up I end up with.
Thanks!
