Thanks!
Ha - ya they do. Great on the track but for dragging/autox there do not like that much. Im planning (if the funds are there) to get some deticated track tires next season - and to run full autox season + as many track days I can get out to.

Not knoking your efforts but, it doesn't look too safe to me, God forbid if you roll the car or get into an accident.

Just to throw in 2 cents... on the X you can't get to the center child bolt without modifying the deck, it is under the deck!
What I did this weekend was I took the dome light out and mounted the camera upside down to a piece of plastic (going to be metal this week) mounted to the two screws that normally hold the dome light in. I'll post a vid when I get done processing it.
Oh holy fail I just realized that this was a 2 year old thread. Flog me now

Reviving an old thread to share my experiences after following your instructions Smike.
Basically I followed your exact instructions, however I used 5" bolts going through the seat's harness hole rather than 6", so they don't stick out further than the rest of the mount. I had to use a bunch of washers to be able to get it secured tightly, as the bolts I had were only threaded for the last 1¼ inches or so.
The view with my GoPro is perfect. Obviously it's very dark in my garage, so the quality of this pic is bad, but it's just to show the field of view:
And pics of my setup:
Thanks for the writeup Smike, I can't wait to test it out in an AutoX or lapping.
