DE is fun! 100% agreed!

Another safe way to learn car control is a big parking lot covered with snow. Luckily here in Utah we have plenty of those. I always do that and also let my kids drive, my wife has a lot of fun doing this as well.

Also, I felt I would REALLY benefit from seat/harness... Half the time I was just trying to stay inside the car. A regular seatbelt really doesn't hold very well in tight cornering...

Too bad a set of seats is so expensive...

I agree, though the only time it caused problems was while turning right, and trying to operate the clutch pedal for a downshift.

One of my next mods will be seats/harness, nothing beats to be sitting snug in the car so that I can use my feet and hands for just driving and not bracing. Helps with left-foot-braking as well!

You don't need seats and harness if this is your DD. But you do need a CG-lock. It goes on your seatbelt and locks down your lap belt so your butt is planted firmly into the seat. But you can still move your upper body around in traffic. I lock it down really tight during DEs but also use it all the time when I DD. Now if I ride in a car without it I feel like I am going to slide out of the seats. I bought mine at Nationals in 2006 and have used it for 5 years now. Looks just the same as the day I bought it. Very nice quality stainless steel piece about $50.00.

Good tip Y!

Lucky me, my Box is not my DD and I really want those GT3 seats
