Are Aftermarket Seats Worth It?

We’ve added a ton of bits to Miata to make it fast, and the only thing we’ve really added for safety on the track has been our roll cage. So today we are looking at aftermarket seats and harnesses. Yes, they look cool BUT does it make sense to add them to your car, should you even be rocking a sweet OMP seat and OMP harnesses? And if so how do you install them? Let’s do this!

We have a new channel!

Money Pit is where you get to learn about cars as we work on them. Each ep we’ll breakdown how each component works and then we’ll upgrade it. Join us in our journey to build cool cars, learn about them, and drive the crap out of them!

Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

I like how he keeps saying "should be quick and simple" meanwhile between every cut, outside it gets visibly darker😂

I always thought who Zach remind me of and I finally understand.
Somehow he reminds me of Paul Walker; his passion and knowladge about cars, his smile and energy, the hair and eyes...

Several concerns here:
1: A lot of tracks will not let you on track with a 4 point harness, due to the risk of submarining. You are better off using aftermarket seats with stock seat belt.
2: With sliders, and a 2 part bracket there is no way you pass the broomstick test (especially with a helmet). Another thing that most tracks look for and will not let you on track. If you flip, your roll bar will not save you. You need a dropped floor pan and the lowest profile bracket, if you want sliders.
3: If you want to street drive a 4 point harness (which people do) you need DOT approved harness with anti-submarining loop in one of the shoulder straps. That way you don't get whiplash during an accident.

The best part of new seats is no one else has ever farted in them.

When both series are over, y’all should put the money pit Miata against the hi-lo 350zs on the track
