Xmas pressie for my Lotus

[Kev946]

Well for me really.

Took the standard belts out and simply disconnecting the sensor to the drivers buckles means the seatbelt warning light and buzzer no longer comes on. The problem I have now is removing and disconnecting the seatbelt pretensioner thingies means the air bag light is now on.

Vert annoying. I called Lotus technical about fitting belts to a car with air bags and told them I plan to remove the standard belts and they said no problem.

My car is in for first service at Nick Whales between Xmas and New Year so will ask them.

Having the standard belts in look wrong to me and I wouldn't wear them anyway. The harnesses seem to make you feel safer and drive faster too

You can tuck them behind the seats so they're not to noticeable.
Harnesses become a PITA after a while. You will end up putting the harnesses on keeping them very loose for that quick 2 min trip to the shops. The unexpected happens and they will be useless come impact time.

Don't use my car every day so no problem. Certainly wouldn't use it for a trip to the shops when I've got other cars on the drive to use.
