i think its also larger overall in width from the recaro catalog that i remember reading. its for the for the racers that require the "super-size me" meals.
Henry,
This is a problem on all racing seat installations I have seen, except for the OEM NSX-R/S seats. I intend to replace my seat belt system with cam lock harnesses once my new seats come in, to avoid exactly this issue. I purchased this:
to mount the harnesses.
In the past I had a porsche with 4-point belts, and it was a hassle, primarily due to the older 'lever-style' belts, but now with camlocks a simple 1/4 twist of the central buckle releases the belts. You can opt to only use the sub-belt for spirited driving, which means your clipping in 3 belts (cam is attached to the fourth), and can get out of them quickly.
