3 pt seatbelt received
Hi I have the same car and am installing the same setup for DE track use. One hurdle is when I remove the factory 14 way seats, the 3pt seatbelt receiver comes off with them. If I remove it to install with the Sparco seats, where do I install the canble, as it does not have its own socket in the plug coming out of the floor. Its part of a bunch of wires in a larger socket. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

If you look at the connector on the seat side, you can see the each cable goes into a plastic housing that houses all the individual connectors to make it look like one big connector, using a small flat head you can remove the connector for the seat belt from it. Then cut all the zip ties to remove the cable from the seat.

Also curious if you felt a noticeable difference in the vehicle once you installed it. Did it add any (perceived) change to how the car feels and handles? I had a bolt in cage in a previous car and it made a noticeable difference. Wondering if that holds true across the board, or if that was just a result of a vehicle that could've used more points tied together to stiffen things up.

The harness bar seems a little low relative to the seat shoulder holes. I'd want the seat lower. Plus I'm tall so my shoulders at typically at the very top of race seat shoulder holes.
