Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Reach up to the B pillar and give the seatbelt a sharp yank, which should set the safety lock.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had lunch yesterday with Dan from St Louis who was in town for a conference. (one of the real pleasures of Rennlist is we have cyber friends all over the country) As we talked about our favorite subject, he mentioned he slid around in his standard (non-sport and standard 3 point lap belts) seat during DEs. I shared with him a trick I learned years ago that I had figured was common knowledge. He suggested I post it, and since I hadn't seen it before here goes: Get in your comfortable driving position, and fasten the seatbelt. Then recline the seatback a couple of inches. Reach up to the B pillar and give the seatbelt a sharp yank, which should set the safety lock. While holding the tension on the belt so that the safety lock doesn't release, bring the seat back to its original position. (Easier with a power seat) You should be strapped in snug and tight. It's too tight for everyday driving, but perfect for track stuff. I have no problem staying in place thru an entire track session (puckering during the Kink does provide added stability -- for a few seconds at least) Of course it's not the same as a 5 or 6 pt harness, but for DEs or autocross, it works very well.

POST 3Original post

Thanks Mike If it's common knowledge then I've missed it!! Well worth the post, I look forward to trying it next time out. Steve

POST 5Original post

i tried it today, really it braces u well but it hurts so much on the chest if u're only wearing a tshirt (am in a tropical country..) so i guess it's better off with these 'sparco' belt foam straps that go around the belt.. wael 996 c2 99

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

wael don't bring the seatback forward quite as much. It will still keep you snug and in place without any "pain" even in a t-shirt. mike

POST 7Original post

ok i will try it, tx.. it really makes me appreciate and understand why they made 3-6pt harnesses.. Wael
