No argument from me! It belongs in a church! It's sweet!

What we're saying is given an unforseen "accident" your harness will cause more damage to you than what we feel you're expecting. If you are using a 4 point you can potentially slide forward with a tremendous amount of force causing paralysis or an unwanted sex change. Andrew (De.point50) was just telling me about a 5 point harness that has a break away function that is more properly suited for your application. While they are more expensive it's a lot safer

My concern is the fact the bar is mounted to the chassis with a few weakass bolts. I think in an accident the entire bar would become a missile, guided by the harness right into the back of your head. It is not mounted securely.

And if by some unfortunate happenstance, my number comes up and I surfer the consequences, you guys will be the first that I will surely say, "you told me so"! Fair enough??

retards shall always survive, my friend. LOL.

One, you don't get to pick when you have accidents. It's not always in your control.

And you have no idea when I was born, so you're talking out your ***. If you're older than I am, you're in your 40s and have no right to be as dumb as your actions seem to suggest.

And any passenger with you is at risk too, since that bar will likely take them out too. It's a sweet piece, it's just for show.

No, I wish I were still in my 40's, if only. I am old enough to be your granddad! My actions are result of being a track racer and far more, my friend. When you are my age, every day is a chance and you take them as they come.

4 point with a breakaway. You don't need the breakaway with a 5 point

nomodsjk · 09-29-2014, 02:25 PM

That is a great point

well this really heated up. I can tell you that I have the exact same brace bar and intended to use it as a harness bar as well, however after receiving it I decided against it for the exact reasons highlighted above. OP you do whatever you want, but you cant argue the fact that it would be unsafe to use it as you intend.

Oh, he's arguing... Because he evidently got into some really bad car accidents which left him brain dead

Surely not I, I am laughing the entire time. I don't have an issue with what I decided to do. He does apparently. I guess he's upset that he will have to either visit me in the hospital or come to the funeral? Twitter on the Z Forum, no less!! ROFL & CGU

No heat at all, at least not on my side! Everyone is surely entitled to make their own choice. This was mine and I am more than satisfied with it. You
must make your own choice accordingly. Your ride and clearly your own call.
I knew what my plan was and I stuck with it from start to finish. My last car
(3000-GT) had a harness installed and I wanted another one. The Amuse bar
made it possible. So there it is. Hope that you are pleased with yours, as well!
Have a better than average evening!
