[MR2] 5 point harness

[Ted Volkman]

Another option is to just use a chest belt around the seat.  The mkiv Supras
have terrible lateral support as well.  However one of my very quick track
friends (single turbo mkiv w/ slicks) uses a chest belt and finds it to be
very effective.  I just use the knee brace method :)
