I guess you mean me.. Well, strap on the big boy pants.


It's not just you. I think anybody that foregoes using the factory engineered SRS- pretensioner seatbelts in a street car in favor of a racing part is an idiot. Especially if they admit it's because they are lazy. (your words not mine). They clearly do not have an engineering background, nor do they understand the forces involved in serious accident. I just wish that insurance companies would be more diligent, and deny the claims when they get injured. After all it's our premium money paying for any medical expense.


It makes no difference what someone's "wealth level" is. Just seeing that a 19 year old posts a comment like that makes me laugh. There are very few 19 year olds at my "wealth level". 99% of them got it from someone else, yet they think they are special. I guess the other 1% is Justin Beiber. Most of them turn out to be axxholes... (think any Kardashian, Hilton, Bieber...) But if you want to compare net worth, bring on the zeros and the commas... Then be prepared to say how you got it.


As for music? Really? Lighten up. No need to get all butthurt because someone else kids you about it. And no, it's not an insult... It's an opinion.

so basically you've already made your decision about what you want to do (run on a harness on the street), are looking for affirmation from people here to do it, and give weak excuses when you get reasons not to...

do whatever you want, but anyone who says it's safe/no big deal is not being responsible. in fact i don't think anyone here has actually said it's a good idea.

ask for opinions, then tell people to shut up LOL.. you're the same guy who posted that mustang vs mini video and got flamed for it there too.. you ever start to wonder if it's not your age that's the problem but your maturity..?

Getting back on sorta topic. What about running racing seats with an OEM seat belt? That seems as equally a bad idea but is fairly common.

You're first post asked if people hate it on the road. They replied telling you its dumb to use it on the road. I don't get what your point here is.



So car culture is now all about driving around with race harnesses on? Sweet mod bro.



Again, you have no idea where people here are at. Get off your high horse. I'm the same age as you and drive a newer, more expensive car if you want to be like that. Get on my level bro.
Was I talking to you? NO so shut your mouth. Or do you not know how a argument works? I never said anything to you. so cool, you drive a newer more expensive car, I don't care I wanted a supercharger that's why I went with this car. I could have gotten a turbo but I am not fond of them. As for culture, unless you live under a rock you are the same age as me and should know what I mean about car culture, If you don't then shut up.

Dude I'm just pissed at how rude people are here, everyone thinks in the mind of it needs to be STOCK, or if you mod it, it is to their liking. I didn't buy a freaking car for them, so it gets really annoying when people tell me I'm an idiot vs useful information I.E. like you said with forces of gravity. My background is robotics and coding so yes, I understand what you are saying with the forces and safety, I agree. My money was all earned from working.

As for music yes, I am fine with opinions, but telling me it's lame music annoys me. It really pisses me off that people don't understand the beautify and variety of music. I owe my life to music, I wouldn't be here without it. So it is annoying that someone goes and says that not knowing what it means to me.

I asked because I wanted people's experiences, NOT opinions. I don't care what you bloody think. As for the mini vs stang, Yeah I posted it because I laughed at the dude being typical testosterone mustang freak. So according to any of you, I cannot laugh at anything nor can I like anything nor is it ok for me to own my car, or mod it. Alright and people wonder why I hate people and tired to kill myself twice already, So have a nice day man hope you feel proud of youself in your stupid attempt to hurt someone else.

Do you not know how a forum works? when you post on here you are subjecting your opinions to eyes of everyone on here. You also started a thread to solicit a response, you didn't ask a specific person, so you should expect people to chime in that you didn't address. And if you knew anything about car culture you'd know that you don't ask peoples opinions just so you can get mad when you don't hear what you want. Thats not how it works, at least not if you don't want people to think you're an idiot.

Also, I have a supercharged car too. Its an 05 R53. Hence my name "andypwr53". Having trouble reading today too?

oh grow up. i've said my piece. get a harness if you want, yes. run it on the street if you want, but no one here will tell u it's a good idea. period. for someone who doesn't care what people think you sure are getting butthurt over nothing.

Yeah I was thinking of putting some sparcos in that awesomely match the color of my car(Blue/Black). Right now nothing is happening, My car has a airbag problem in the steering wheel. I forgot what it was called at the moment (out of the house) but it is basically the connector from the computer to the airbag telling it to go off in a crash. As of right now the car is just sitting in the driveway looking pretty. So I do want to invest in racing seats and accompanying harnesses, but well it's still winter and well yeah who wants to wrench in the cold? xD I still don't know what I am going to do if I am getting harnesses or not, I mean apparently everyone thinks I am buying them like tomorrow or something, but I don't know. I am autocrossing the car soon (hopefully) on the 21st, so I will see how she handles with stock seat belts. If I don't mind it well may just leave all stock and upgrade the sway and tyres.

Are you having trouble playing nice? Or did your mommy never ****ing tell you that? I'm not paying attention to anything you say couldn't you tell? I don't give a **** if you drive a 05 or a 13 or 2958. You are an *******. I love how the mods are *******s too. Great community you ****ing retards have. Someone can't ****ing ask for a one word answer it has to be answered about their ****ing dog Roxie. (if you don't understand this metaphor then you are a ****ing moron). I cannot stand how ****ing stupid you ****s are. You are all so easy to **** off, so quick to go out of your ****ing way to be an ******* to someone who asked a ****ing question not a statement. I don't care if I get kicked off this **** community you are all a bunch of ****ing *******s. I love my car I ****ing hate the community you people are a ****ing cult following and if someone is different, ****ing shun them. What the **** is this place? I'm sorry I didn't realize I traveled back to ****ing 1692 Salem. Nah that's not a good enough example. Ooo yes here we go, 1940-1945 **** ****ing Germany. Aldolf ****ing Hitler and the third reich. Oh nahhh maybe the gustappo in Italy would be better... Nah the SS did some ****ed up ****. There we go so the admins are Adolf and the followers are the third reich. Brilliant I now know why you are all ****ing *******s, you are all the spawn of the third reich! It all makes so much sense now! Well you sir can sincerely **** yourself.

no one's saying different is bad, unless you're counting running a harness on the street as 'different'
