How do you use a 3 point seat belt on a Full Leather Recaro Pole Position? Pissible?

It's 100% possible... you would put the seatbelt through the outside upper harness slot,
(unbolt the real and feed it through the seat and bolt back up) and feed the oppsite end through the outside lower slit as well. the problem lies that you have to feed the male end through the inside lower slit when ever you buckle in. A friend had a set of Sparco buckets and this setup worked fine and the belt fit as normal, just getting your hands down between the bucket and cnetre console is a pain in the ****. You ended up just pointing it in the right direction nd pressing from the top and hoping it clicks in, exit was just as difficult since you had to squeze your hand down to catch the button. Needless to say, he ended up swapping for a set of 4 point harness' mounted on a cage.

If you went with the pole position, (which is close to the RS4 buckets) it looks like Audi just goes

judging by the wear on that inside harnes slot though, maybe this owner is going through there, but this picture gives you a good idea on how much of a pain in the *** that is gonna be...

Porsche GT3 seats in nogarohiro's RS4

<img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y298/nogarohiro/051120seat.jpg">
We set the seats with special bracket, because Porsche seats has four points to set and Audi seats three, both sides in the rear part and one in the front part of the seat base.
Stock three point pull seat belt holds my body over the seat tightly enough.

Porsche GT3 is a car for two and lacking in rear seats. It has cage with a horizontal bar inside instead on a purpose to set harness.

GT3 seat has a hole in the front part of the seat base, and cussions are separated in two parts at the seat base, so we can set five point pull harness through the hole.
Five point pull harness is prohibited on the road here, and I have nothing of it.
Recaro poleposition seat looks very similar to quattro GmbH genuine Sport seats for RS4. I tried this seat in Audi Forum Ingolstadt once and felt tight but a little relaxed.
Prosche GT3 seat is tight, upright, stretch your back straight and pull your chin style, and very good to drive fast but not so good to relax. We like the seats.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rs246.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file =index&req=viewsdownload&sid=12">You can get Audi RS4 Sport Brochure in this link.

No.
Even in the Porsche, we don't try to put the latch through the hole on the right. The 3-point belt will be threaded through the lap hole on the left and shoulder hole on the left but the latch goes around the outside of the seat on the right and in to the latch. This is because the female latch mechanism is higher and it would be almost impossible to put the male latch through the slot and then clip it in to the receptor.
The lap hole on the right is solely for the lap belt.
If you run a 6-point harness then those must go throught the seat holes. If you start having both sets of belts going through those holes then it can get a little crowded. So then some people will not put the 3-point belt through the two holes on the left.
