Just ask evan about that one.You must have harnesses on the passenger side if they ar eont he driver side, no slack there. As far as the seat goes, if its a stock seat it makes me wonder why the driver is so cheap that he cant spend $200 on a corbeau or something, and its not a good way to start a weekend, but if the seat is in decent shape then i will probably let it slide.
One time I had a student in a DA integra with a full rollcage, hoosiers, nice sparco and harnesses on his side, and stock seat and seatbelt with not even any cage padding. my head was resting against the cage bars. I rode with that guy for a session then got the fugg out. In the future I wont even do that for a session.
Another student had a metal hard mounted cell phone holder that stuck out right where my knee was supposed to be. I made him take it out, and he bitched and whined about it, but Im not loosing a leg for any student.
i also wont go out if the student has a harness bar. it must come out.
