How in the hell do you guys stand it?

I use my 6pt only for autocross. I use it with the stock seat (GASP!). The sub belt I sit on and is routed between the seat bottom and back to a set of eye-bolts mounted on the floor. If I don't route the sub belt correctly, ouch. But once in place with everything tight there is no movement and no problem. Unless of course I leave my helmet on the floor of the passenger side after tightening everything up.

It's called safety. For those of us who actually drive our cars, it makes perfect sense to have one.

Point of clarification. And introduction. I am the owner of said 'nether-region' busting harness. :-) And recent addition to the forums, though have been over on miata.net for a while.
The harness is in fact a 6 pt. The anti-subs form a V and are bolted at the rear bolts for the seat rail. For me, not sitting on thick pillows the anti-subs fit rather nicely and though I just have about 3 hours seat time in it tuning the car with Stephanie, I don't see any issue with the anti-subs. Am still working on adjusting the straps and the lap belts were hitting me funny during shifts as my left foot worked the clutch.
Anyway, the seat is incredibly supportive and will be wonderful on the track. But make no mistake, the damn thing will be out very quickly when I get home from the track. Though sitting in the stock seat after the race seat will be like sitting on a park bench.
The seat is an Ultrashield Pro Road Race, and the 6 pt is from them as well. Will have pics when I take baby home at some point if anyone is interested.
Talked to Stephanie about the car last night at the local Miata meet-up and she is very happy with the car now. And she admitted to having a bit of fun with it. Though seeing her in the seat without the thick pillows is quite comical.
Cheers,
Bob

Yeah, bob told me it was a 6 point harness last night. You can't trust me when talking about race harnesses. Sucker still hurts though. The center strap needs to be at least an inch less wide. Of coarse, If I was sitting in the seat like I was supposed to, it might help. But if I did that, I only have a birds eye view of the cruise control button on the steering wheel. Forget seeing the road, it would not be possible. The seat is a nice one. If I wasn't, like, a foot too short to sit in it, it might be ok.

I DD with my Willans 6-points...no problems for me..and with stock 10AE seats. I think it's the way I have to slightly slouch in the seat that keeps the flagellum factories from getting crunched up. When on the track, I do cinch them down a bit more then usual...not saying that it's loose on the street...if I leave the door open all the way and buckle in, I can't close the door :(
