While I think that is a good reason to get a rollbar for serious racing, I think you can use a harness without the bar. At least I hope so!

I've been running a schroth harness in my car for about 5 years now and I love it, but more importantly I think (hope?) it is a lot safter than the POS stock belts on the B13. Fortunately, I haven't had to test it yet... It is HIGHLY recommended that you don't use the rear lap belt anchor points for the top belts of a harness as it appears that our stock seats are not very strong (and accident force would compress the seat...and your spine

). However, I have my top belts anchored to the rear c-pillar seatbelt anchor (the two top belts merge into one belt, like a "Y") which means there's no downward angle to the belts, so the stock seat shouldn't play a factor. Rollbar + harness > no rollbar + harness > no rollbar + OEM belts. Right?
