Are you going to add some frame between your but and the steering shaft? I would not want my balls to act as brakes if I went over a curb on an autocross track.
right now the stock civic seat is just in frame for mock-up. the rear roll cage will be a standard 4-bend 15+75+75+15 with two back runners. there will be a front low-style roll bar over where the steerinng wheel will go. the standard At-om style tinted plexi top with speed humps and HUD-style 3" square "windshields" will go over the top between the front roll bar back to the dash (which will be cut from a piece of red stained birch that i have... yes, a hardwood dash on an exo middy.... just because.) the two seats will be one piece made from reinforced fiberglass with 3 layer multi density foam glued on top and then i will upholster it with boat vinyl. upholstery and fabric working is another of my far-too-many hobbies. these seats will have 6 point harnesses going through them, so there will be a hard support channel at the front of the seat that the nut-belts will go through down to the frame to mount up. i don't think anybody likes having their jibblies jumbled so hopefully it wont be too bad...
