Just thought I'd share some pics of my interior. I just installed my harness last night.
:confused How does that make me a ricer? I race on the track, I don't install seat belt harnesses to look cool. I get pissed when people say this and that about things being rice. Rice means any mod that is non functional. Everything on my car was installed for a functional reason, so there's really nothing "rice" about it. This belt system improves your cornering speeds believe it or not. You aren't limited by the side to side roll you feel when you corner hard and are forced to hold on to the wheel for support. When that happens, you lose some control of the car. Instead you can corner as hard as you want and the belt holds you in place. I can already corner much faster, best money I've ever spent. I admit the blue seats are a bit tacky, but I had no choice. Seats are expensive and buying used is the way to go. I have the exact same seat/belt/colour setup as my friend's Alfa GTV race car, so I guess that makes him rice too?Cool, with those colors now you're a real ricer!

nope, SRS is completley disabled. With a race harness airbags are useless anyhow.Did you have to install a new SRS system, or did the old ones work?
sides mounted to my seat bracket, rear shoulder straps I modified the belt clips with a stock E36 clips and popped them into the rear seat belt holsters. I can remove them when I want with ease.how did you anchor the seat belt harnesses?
Made it myself, "M" from M3 badge, "4" from 740 badge, "2" from 325 badge.Auto, where'd you get the M42 badge? I'm looking for an M50 badge for my car...
If you want, but that would be pretty expensive. I got them used from old cars and I suggest you do the same. Find a shop that works on BMW's and see if they have any old badges laying around they could sell to you cheap.Originally posted by Deloriant@Nov 21 2004, 03:11 PM
Buy the badges from a dealership?

Looks great Auto, I didn't notice it until Lori mentioned it. Is it one of those grey ///M badges? Of course they came out with those a few weeks after I added the other .
Curious, are those seats and harnesses pretty comfortable? I realize why you bought them, but could you take a road trip of 2 hours and still be comfortable? You may have another car for a daily driver, I don't, so I'm curious.
very easy, took me about 5 min.Originally posted by buuhh99@Nov 21 2004, 05:26 PM
nice how hard was it to install the new sterring wheel

Brake balance is like 70% front and 30% rear, so the front brakes do most of the stopping anyways. I actually got my stock sized brembo rotors used, the rear set were vented which only fits 328 convertables so I'm still looking for a replacement. I'm either going to upgrade to the larger 328 vert calipers or just get a pair of solid rear cross-drilled rotors. I can see burn marks on the rear rotors, they are probably shot. I'm going to use Hawk HPS in the rear too, right now they are some crappy pagid or PBR junk, can't remember.Not related to interior mods, but I checked out the link in your sig for mods, you are still useing stock rear rotors? Do they, with the better pads, balance the car? Or did you want signifcantly stronger front brakes? I know what stronger front brakes do, I was just wondering if that is what you were going for, or if it is actually balanced.
Italvolante. It's Italian made and it's made of Polyurethane. I've read somewhere that it's the same company that makes Ferrari's steering wheels, yummyWhat kind of wheel is that?.. Just curious bro...
