Ok, different topic. After these Saturday morning canyon runs I've realized I'm in need of two things: 1. harnesses & 2. proper suspension (ie. camber plates, etc.). Because I have the crazy stereo system to work around & have already "been there/done that" with an Autopower cage, I think I'm going to go the harness bar route since I'll never track the car. Has anyone ever seen this unit in-person: http://www.bkauto.com/mini/r1305.php. Also, what kind of harnesses could I run with this bar?

You could run any harness designed to work with a cage...

Correct. I knew that part though. I meant is there a particular setup like Sparco/Momo/etc. 4-point which anybody'd recommend? If you can post some links to that'd be sweet!

Well, I prefer sparco, but there are plenty of great brands depending on how much you want to spend.... Scrotch, which is the same harness as the sparco, just with a different label is a bit cheeper than sparco, but just as good.

Okey doke, I found what I'm looking for. I know Helix used to carry the Brey-Krause harness bar. Brad (& Dr.Steve), can you check into this item for me/us? Cost, etc.?

If autolock is when the car automaticly locks when you get above I think it's 10 - 15 mph, then it is on. But I just got the door cable replaced last Wednesday and don't want someting to be wrong or find out that I am doing soething wrong.

Hmm... Are you removing the key from the ignition before you open the door? In that case, you only need one pull because the doors automaticly unlock....

on my '05 it does not seem to matter what the situation is it takes two pulls to open, key in or key out, unless I hit the unlock switch.
