How many metres of seat belt strip is needed for each seat ? (5 door)

Mate, you seriously have issues.
WTF has me changing my worn brakes for OEM brakes got to do with you changing OEM (certified) seatbelts for a fancy colour with absolutely no safety testing standards applied??

You have this crazy obsession with people buying chinese stuff, and you are the only person to mention it. Nobody here GAF because it's not relevant to this discussion.
Maybe you are younger an less mature and your priorities are different. Either way, do what you want. This has been said multiple times, so why keep coming back to insult and argue. Grow up.

i think this topic has run its course, it was only advice on seatbelts, stripping them amd and the related safety issues and people can do what they want really.
Im not the only person on hear who feels the same.
You asked for information and opinions and you now have it.

Yes Am banging head against the wall bcos I can't comprehend your negativenes .. but don't worry I know you doin it on purpose ..
And you @mitsiboyblue if you replacing seatbelts as u claiming, you could straight answer mine question and that would be it.. Seems you guys has nothing to do just talk loads of crap around it ..and not just simply answer ..
 
Some genuine questions.
Have you got a garage available who will remove your old seatbelts, strip out the current belts and fit the new ones and guarantee their work?
Have you also checked with your insurance that they are happy to insure this modification, and do they request any information on the quality and standard of the belts?

Not a negative post, genuinely interested.
 
Hello guys
Long time no here :)
I have now brig poteza S001 225/45/17
They are awesome .. Acceleration is perfect and top speed I managed is 135mp/h :D :tonguewink:


No u cannot predict surviving accident ..I don't even drive fast .. and not often...


.. Seems you guys has nothing to do just talk loads of **** around it ..and not just simply answer ..

Mate get the seat belts. Honestly, just get your seatbelts. These Chinese companies can’t afford their own crash test dummies.

@voorhees - would you put uncertified seatbelts in your car because the colour looks cool...
I think it might actually ending up with me banging my head against a brick wall (or any surface harder than my skull) oh the irony.
Seriously though if any member wishes to change any of their car parts then get it done by a qualified person and let your insurance know and they will require the relevant paperwork.

THINK ITS TIME FOR A MEDIATOR TO STEP IN!

Think its time for a mediator to step in.
Nobody needs to be swearing or be subjected to abusive behaviour.
You came on here and wanted advise.... many people have commented on the safety issues related and you dont like what you hearing. I agree yes they will cosmetically look nice for displaying purposes.
Nobody here is point scoring with you but there are genuine concerns which you seem to be ignoring. Maybe this is not intentional but from a professionals point of view its very important.
This will be my last on this particular subject.... by all means respond to this post but without being abusive.

The problem is Peto, you come here and ask for advise and then you attack everyone who offers advice or disagrees with your comments. Very little value is offered to the forum. Either accept the posts (take the good with the bad) or quietly leave. Either way, stop with the aggression.

Seriously, have you bumped your head? I have already asked you to quote where I have mentioned chinese products, and you haven't because you can't.
YOU are the one saying it. ONLY YOU. I am fully aware of the fact many OEM products are made and imported from China, they are usually sold by dealers who are satisfied that they have met the legal requirements, and for that reason they have a higher price.
The inferior copies from ANYWHERE in the world are usually cheap and unfit for what they are advertised to do.

THAT is the whole reason people are TRYING to warn you. It is up to you if you use that advice, but as you seem to think everyone is against you for telling you what you don't want to hear, you have to resort to insults. And that is why I advise you again, to grow up.

NO I don't have garage I said it previously once I purchase them (if I purchase them) I will search on internet who does the seat belt replacements
I can even go to audi and ask about it ..

A Master Technician has already told you that they are not allowed to take seat belt mechanisms apart and replace parts or repair them, they have to dispose of them and fit them with unopened and certified equipment from a trusted source.
Any garage worth their salt is not going to do that for you, in fact I'd be amazed if anyone out there knows how as these items are simply replaced due to the nature of what they are and how they are expected to work
Why don't you take his expert advice instead of insulting him? And then you wonder why most people are criticising you for what you have written.

I also don't see how you can assume that an owner of an S3 is driving around breaking speed limits just because they own a car that can. Every single car on the road is capable of breaking the speed limit, it doesn't mean that they do!

As for being a 'good' driver, I doubt that very much. You claim that you drove at 135mph to test your tyres. What were you testing for? Surely cornering, braking and wet road daily driving would be enough, unless you were testing to see if they fall off at speed?
You also think that you don't need to worry about seatbelt quality because you have never been in accident. You are lucky, but for every single accident that takes place between two cars, 50% of them are not caused by one of the drivers. That means that no matter how good you think you are, it only takes someone bad to crash into you and test your cheap setbelts thoroughly.
Maturity and experience would tell you this, but the more I read your posts, the more I'm convinced that you are young and immature, and that makes you extremely dangerous when driving a car capable of those speeds.

If you really are mature and a 'real man' you'll simply STFU and realise that you are convincing nobody on here, and probably won't get much help with future posts as you resort to insults when you don't get the answers you want.

i didnt read the thread like that, might be a mistranslation.
what there is are genuine questions being raised about the safety aspect of critical component, which in and of itself is fair. you are taking offence to those questions, which appears slightly odd tbh.

not one post has provided definitive proof as to whether the aftermarket seatbelts are definitely safe, or unsafe, so its all opinion (some of it being touted as fact). its your decision as to whether you fit them, no need to take offence.

if you do fit them, itd be nice to see the finished result.

Reminds me of this ...

What you see in this video is the mounts failing if you look at the actual belt it is fine stays in one piece doesn't stretch and comfortably snaps the dummy's neck.

The point is the actual seat belt strap has very little to do and I would have no problem trusting some strap from China.

The real question is how the hell do you find someone you trust to rebuild your seatbelts so the mechanism doesn't fall apart in the event of a crash?!?!?

The mounts come as part of the seatbelt / harness = poor quality manufacturing, but it could easily be the stitching that's the weak point.

Indeed. But either way the quality of the belt is very unlikely to be an issue, it's the assembly/fitting that introduces the danger.

How do you pick someone to reassemble a seatbelt mechanism, a job that involves sewing and also handling explosive charges... Quite a specific set of skills.

This has all got me thinking, if you buy a used car how do you know your seatbelts haven't been rebuilt?.... You just don't!

I'm an avid follower of Samcrac's YouTube channel (worth checking out he's rebuilding an rs7 right now) and he swears by a seatbelt reconditioning company in the states but when it comes down to it how the hell do you know it's right?

To be fair to Pedo, if your mechanic doesn't have a sewing machine on standby for seatbelt rebuilds, then you are using the wrong garage!
My mechanic also bakes fluffy light sponge cakes between oil changes and curtain making.

Absolutely no need any sewing man the strap is attached to the mechanism EXACTLY same way as when u have tape measure meter. .it is then bonded together
If any sewing requires don't worry I have sewing skills with sewing machine ;)
