Copy/pasted from my post on the sr20forum. I talked to a few of you guys at the track about this already:

This past weekend I got the oppurtunity to go out on track in a few different cars, including a VE powered NX2000. It really got me thinking about safety. All the cars I went out in had roll bars, 5 point harnesses, and racing seats. I have always planned on adding a rollbar, but I think I may move that up as my next modification. The two bolt in roll bars for the b13 are the autopower and kirk. Does the interior in the back have to be removed to have the roll bar installed? From the autopower website it sounded like they had two versions. Both the kirk and the autopower are 1.75 x .120 DOM.

I'd also like to get at least a 5 point harness, preferably 6 point. My problem is that this is a street car and a daily driver. I need my stock seat belts to work, because theres no way I'm putting on a harness everytime I drive. I need at least the passenger seat to remain reclinable so I can have access to the back seat. This presents a problem though. I'm not sure how happy my instructor will be if I have a fixed back racing seat and he is in a stock seat. Are there any certifications for reclinable seats, similar to fia? I also really don't want to be spending a thousand bucks just on seats. I've looked into the Sparco Evo and Recaro pole position, both go for around 600 bucks new. I also need whatever seats I buy to be comfertable enough on the street for long drives. I frequently drive 300+ miles in a day.

Next question is on harnesses. Any suggestions? All I really know is that I want something thats at least 5 points.



I was also just thinking, what about just using the stock seat on the passengers side with a 5 point harness and a seat brace ( like this <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.paragon-products.com/product_p/bk_r9019.htm">http://www.paragon-products.com/product_p/bk_r9019.htm</a><!-- m --> ). Would that satisfy most instructors?

Fixed it, thanks Brian

Alright... so I got pulled over at the begining of the month. I had never gone to the DMV to title and register my CBR F4 so I was running the plates from my VFR on it. A cop ran my plates on a whim and noticed the discrepency. He gave me a ticket for it, but was nice enough to not seize the plate or tow me. All in all it was actually a pretty pleasant experience, as they go with the fuzz.

Here's problem. I would have prepaid the same day, or the next day for the thing, but the citation said it would take nearly two weeks for the information to be entered into the online payment system. Sooo..

I forgot.

I have court tomorrow. I'm guilty, I admit, but it's too late to prepay any more (2 business days prior to trial is the cut off). I don't really know what to go in and say. I'm not going to be able to wear more than a nice button down shirt because all I have is the motorcycle right now.. but what should I say?

"How do you plead?"
"Guilty"
"What are you doing here then?"
*crickets*

I feel a bit like a toolshed for wasting the court's time. I've got myself into a bit of a pickle, does anybody have any suggestions?

Some weirdo with a Turbo dodge does something impressive.
