Safety first -> New Schroth Rallye 4 Installed
Installed this today, it keeps you in tight!
Front Rear I need to wipe down the back seats, that's just sweat from installing. It's hot down here in FL for this time of year, in the low 80s.

That looks great. I bought the Quickfit for Audi. It attaches to the same bolts on the door side, but clips into the seat belt receptacles on the console side. I'm pretty excited about trying it. A few of the clubs have rules that won't allow your harness and definitely won't allow mine, but I don't know how much they enforce the rules. The two clubs I run with the most don't mind.

If anything it's easily detachable, but I like how snug I feel to the seat now. I do wish though the right side waist belt went into the belt receptacle at least. Now I have to find some spare clip to stop the ding dong noise, or just use the regular belt on top of this, which I don't like.

Couldn't you just run the seat belt behind the seat or behind you?
Does it help you from sliding around? I'm always adjusting myself in the seat after each turn. Definitely looks cool. |

not sure about running the belt behind the seat. Running it behind me would be uncomfortable. This thing holds you in extremely snug, no track seat time yet with it, but as soon as I do (1/26), will report for sure. Though the little I rode around town, I can barely move in the seat, but was still comfortable.

Go ahead and get as much as you can for them buddy. I appreciate the offer, however, I think i'm going to try an event with the setup i have now before I go spending more money on the car. Plus I may have a small lead on something that'll let me get real harnesses.
Sorry to thread jack Yandy!

I have had instructors tell me how great the sports seats in the 135i are, especially with our side bolsters. However, after I got the Schroths in, I didn't realize how much I was moving about. These keep you FIRMLY strapped in the seat, offering two main advantages. First, you feel like you are one with the car. It is easier to feel the direction changes because your body isn't shifting like it used to. However, the most surprising advantage I felt was actually what I didn't feel...sore! You may not realize it, but in the stock 3pt belts you shift around a LOT. As a consequence, you end up unconsciously using the your arms and the steering wheel to support yourself. After using these belts, my arm fatigue went down drastically because I was no longer having to support myself mid corner (which also makes it easier to adjust the wheel, since you dont have all that weight pulling on it). |

Mine were custom sewed so the right side clip is secured by the normal belt clip...no seat belt gongs
