Okay first question is.  
Will five point harness mounted to a rollbar (they way yuor supposed to mount them , you floor mount guys are insane) pass NYS inspection?

Also I heard from a friend that the good ole title and reciept are no longer good enough at the DMV , that you have to have the seller sign an Mv50 or something, i forgot what he called it?  
Is this true?  
And how does that work if you bought a car, neevr registered it and now are re selling it?

Thanks.

Registered a car back in January with receipt and title and had no problems. I’m assuming this is a used car you’re talking about. Pretty sure harness won’t pass inspection.

Exactly… Gotta have factory belts in place as well as the 5-pts; 5-pts are also not legal on the streets and cops will bust your balls and possibly ticket you if you’re wearing them and get caught.

That sucks so bad. Ny has wack laws.  
Thanks for the heads up guys. I guess I’ll leave the front belts in, even tho they will be useless with aluminum racing seats.

they are there for YOUR safety …

just remember when you flip your car over doing some street racing and the paramedics show up and have to cut you out … you will be glad you wore the stock seat belt … and not have them take a few vital extra minutes to cut the race harness out

I thought Off topic is where your supposed to post the offtopic shit.  
The mods gotta keep this outta general auto, Valid questions asked in threads mucked up by people with nothing to contribute.

Thanks to the people with real anwsers.

Then if you know everything why are you asking?

_Technically_ aftermarket seat belts/harnesses must (should) be DOT approved for street use; such as this:  
[http://www.soloracer.com/rallye3.html](http://www.soloracer.com/rallye3.html)

(Although I think that is complete shit and a “real” harness installed by a competent person is so much better.)

Is your harness DOT approved?

I was actually looking for a dot approved harness,  
because the circle track stuff is off road use only.  
Which sucks because They work great in 100+ mph crashes.

As for why I asked, I didn’t ask.  
I asked an inspection question.

Edit: just looked at the link, 3 point harness suck IMHO.  
I like 5 or 6 points
