As for the rest of your comment... Well, I'll leave that alone. I'm probably reading it wrong anyway.
Don't cheap out on safety equipment.

DON'T buy these cheap Chinese knock offs! If you value your safety, buy real seats for the real price. These have been discussed numerous times and are not worth risking your life.

I see there are many who jumped in before I'm responding here. Nothing more to add, other than I was "that guy" with sometimes iffy safety equipment in the '80s. Not ashamed to admit it, if someone else can benefit from the advice.

Too few see the after effects of track crashes/impacts, and how there are differences in good/great/state-of-the-art. Which is one of my knocks on the "buy a guy's used race car for X%". Roll cages are so much more advanced than even five years ago. And then you fill in from there. It's not cheap, and unless you're truly assuming all risk trying to get out there in a low end Spec Miata or something there really isn't any point when you've got what's now an expensive car.

Thanks for all the input. You guys saved me a bunch of time, money, and possibly a whole lot more.
