I am planning on putting some racing seats in my 93 LX. Primarily for weight reduction but also because I have always wanted some since riding in my friends 96 Cougar which had some nice ones. I'd like to see some pics of this done. Hopefully from a year that has auto seatbelts. I am trying to see how I can make the seatbelts work since the part the seatbelts latches to is part of the stock seat. Any help would be great thanks.
My problem with converting to manual seatbelts is the work involved. Plus I would still have all of the presence of the fact that I had auto seatbelts. I was considering just bolting them to the stock tracks, but that has no benefit as far as weight reduction really. Also the fact that my driver seat is power. I was kind of wanting to eliminate that since I prefer manual seats.
My concern with the harness is first of all I have been told something about spinal compression or something related to them. Also in order to install the harnesses wouldn't they interfere with the rear passengers? I am not to familiar with the process with harnesses.
I guess I will need to talk to some body shops and see what they suggest. I was hoping to make this a fairly simple swap. But I guess I was in a little over my head.
