the idea of stripping down the interior before and after every auto-x/hpde would get old.
Ya lost me. You're talking about NOT stripping the interior, then you're talking about installing a roll bar, fixed seat, & harness.
I guess that harness would work, but I don't see why you wouldn't just get a real 5 or 6 point.
EDIT: I think I understand what you're trying to say. You want to keep the roll bar, seat, and harness in the car full time, and want something safe for the street and track? amirite?
^Yes, you got it with the edit. I was typing it from my iPhone then just decided to get on the computer here.
Yeah, the 4pt would be much more streetable and with a push button release, I keep my sport seat pretty upright so I bet a quality fixed back wouldn't be too uncomfortable for me.
Pulling the entire interior all the time would get old and add unnecessary wear and tear.

I don't really think it's any more 'streetable' then my 6 point camlock harness. The anti-sub belts on my 6 point share a latch, it takes about .4 seconds to attach it.

Yeah, not to mention just getting the roll bar in or out is 1+ hour job (if you have someone to help you, if not it could take all damn day).
I would obviously recommend a weld in bar, but since mine isn't even a weld in I can't say too much...
weld-in is obviously better but i left mine bolt-in for now because my car will be getting a full cage sometime in 2009 (probably in the fall), so I'd rather not weld the rollcage in and have to undo it.

Same reason here. I'm not happy enough with my mine to leave it and build off of, so I'm going to remove and start from scratch with a cage as soon as the funds are there.
Was there a reason why 4-point harnesses were banned from Motorsport 18 years ago? Hmmm. Submarining maybe. And Schroth little ASM gizmo won't keep your body from destroying itself under the lapbelt.
They have been well tested and DOT says they're cool.
DOT says the're cool but if DOT helmets are not approved at track events, I wonder what to make from their testing on a restraint system. DOT headlamps also are approved, but damn do they suck.

Yes... You have a point there...
But wouldn't you agree that the Schroth Rallye harnesses are better than the 3 point OE for street use?
Based on real world test data that I'm sure is out there on 3 point factory belts.....I'd probably take my factory belts in a street collision/street car.
