You paid money for oem seatbelts? More than free+shipping or junkyard costs?

I like it

I don't care how M.net of me it is... LE's are sooo sexy. Nice belts.

Is that the CG lock!? I've always wondered if they worked or not. I hate driving my wife's car with the crappy stock belt.

If you're interested, in about a month i'll be selling mine from my car after I get my bucket with a harness

The CG lock is great. It holds you in very well for a tri-point belt. I didn't think of this when I got it, but it makes the ride more tolerable since it doesn't let you come up off of the seat and then slam down.

this thread remind me i want seatbeats that retract correctly.

Matt, now all you're missing is black and red MSM seats.

I want. You can PM me when ready. :brain:

Me too. I'd like to know how I can go about it. Ever since installing the antiroll bar I've been facing that issue.

Is it an issue with the belts themselves? I still have my old ones, and they worked fine.

We'll see. I'd like some other sort of seat someday. I remember liking Sav's seats but I forget what they were.

happened after roll bar install, on both my miatas. I'm doing it wrong I guess.

Make the hole in the seat belt receiver-thing larger

This.


I'm digging those belts man.

I'm using the Boss frog seat belt guides.

Look close at the system. The reason why the seatbelt doesn't retract properly after roll bar installation is because the belt drags on the housing. The BF guides attempt to reposition the belts to get a better angle into the housing, but if there's contact, the belts still won't retract properly. It's also possible that drag induced where the belts contact the BF guides themselves can prevent successful retraction.

They retract part way, but not all the way, I really feel like I need to rewind the clockspring or something as the don't really bind.

WTF is a LE seatbelt????

CG lock sucks. It only locks the lap part of the belt. There is a special little trick you can use to lock the entire belt and make hard driving much more enjoyable.

share your special little trick please.

Man I know..... I had a five point harness in the mustang. It was awsome looking but sucked for day to day driving.

Get in car

Slide seat back

Tighten belt snugly across lap

Using left hand, hold shoulder belt tightly against chest up by your left shoulder ***

Using other hand, reach up to where belt loops through the guide and pull as hard and as fast as you can. If you get it right, it should lock with less than 1" of belt pulled out.

Now, lean forward into the belt to keep it locked/tight.

While leaning forward, reach under the seat to the slide and slide the seat forward. Sometimes it's helpful to pull up using the steering wheel.

Locked!! You should be able to sit in the seat without it unlocking if you have done this correctly.

*** Some people find it easy to hold the should belt with their right hand (holding it by your left shoulder) and pull with their left hand.

I learned this trick when I was autocrossing. A locked belt will keep you snug in the seat. I tried the CG-Lock and I ended up with a sore back because the shoulder part of the belt was loose.

1. push seat back and buckle.
2. retract belt fully, even lean back to help.
3. pull belt fast to engage safety lock.
4. push seat forward until you're comfortable.
5. get seat to lock in place.
6. ????
7. Profit.

That's a good trick to use at an autox, but for day-to-day driving I'm not going to do that each time.. :)
