I own a go kart???

damn I installed the racing harness that bbarbulo sold me (great seller but thats for a different forum) and damn I strap myself in and it feels like I'm in a go kart...

ohhh well no more body movement like this, where I look ready to bail:

Stock suspension on that car...? Damn buddy... that not only looks unsafe... it's downright dangerous and stupid.

Consider spending some money so this way you can proactively prevent a rollover and maybe death?

For the class he is in he can not modify anything, including suspension.

for the racing I'm in they classify cars .... and yes it's not class as in what Nospleeny seems to be lacking

maybe I should clarify ... I put a racing harness on the car to stop my body moving around int he car not the cars body from moving (which is even more violent now that I stay planted I can push it harder which means I can lift any tire not just either of the rear 2 ...) it feels like a go kart when I'm strapped in because my body stays planted even thoughj the car body is still moving like in the picture....

and Nospleeny that is stock body roll if honda thought it was unsafe you think they would have put in on the market? yes I push the car harder then most drivers but it's still well within balancing limits... in order for the car to tip I'd have to get the center of gravity out past the side of the tires that are staying planted on the ground once it's out past those tires there is nothing to stop the car from flipping ... it's all about the physics and damn why do peopel keep suggesting I upgrade? all that will happen is I'll go faster to get the same body rolla nd compete against people with the faster cars I'd perfer to win a class title before upgrading
