Got the NRG Harness Bar from Vivid Racing Installed in the FC as well as picked up a Corbeau FX1 Wide racing seat. Tried to get you guys all the seat dimensions that matter, cockpit dimensions of the FC (including floor to ceiling height) and walked through the modification and install of the harness bar. Disclaimer - it's a generic part and requires some modifications to fit!

Funny watching it and then my Name being dropped hahah... good work I ended up buying a different harness bar were the end plate are on a bolt and can pivot or be reversed and am mid way fitting it . I concluded i would be actually be adding a bar that goes back into the rear strut tower and the end plate will mount to that. . I am also a big guy 5.8 and 300 pound . Bought a sparco sprint L . I Race the car and street it . but have an extra issue you don't have . My steering wheel is on the right. So the floor has an extra hump for the exhaust so can't get the seat as low . Im looking to cut the hump out and square off the floor.

I’ve see the passenger side be a real challenge! It’s pretty crazy just how little room there is in here and how big of a difference one inch can be. As you were saying, even on the drivers side there’s no way to mount anything conventionally to the stock locations because a big guy seat will over EVERYTHING up unless there’s sliders. But sliders eat up 1” min, and that’s not acceptable for me lol. So gonna be bolting to the floor, but my leg length puts it RIGHT on the little tube that the stock front holes are in.

How's the clearance to the storage bins? Can you still open them fully or do they hit the bar?

@theoegarage 9 ай бұрын

They hit the bar close to vertical, so not terrible as that’s about where I opened them to before having the bar there!

@@theoegarage Hey thanks for the rapid reply! I've got another question if it isn't a bother! I have an S5, and in the video you were describing you think it would fit better in an S5 than an S4, I assume then that the lower belts are mounted in a different place than an S4? Or is there some other reason it would fit better in the S5?

@theoegarage 9 ай бұрын

Does your S5 have auto belts?

@darkrage1138 I think the auto seatbelt mounting positions are different than the S4. (Further back) which may work better with the support bar lengths
