Seat is mounted so she is comfortable (she is 5'4" about 130). Seat is very close to driver's door panel but doesn't hit. I used the receptacle from one of my E36 M3s seats so she can use the 3 point for occasional street driving.

I have a question I haven't seen answered in this thread. Can the airbags be coded off? The car's primary use is hillclimb/track, and she is still using the stock steering wheel. Don't want the airbag to go off in her face with a helmet on. If not has anyone found a simple way to make them all inactive?
The first few lines of the ABG/MR5 module appear to refer to primary and curtain airbags for driver and passenger. It may be as simple as coding them inactive.
