So yesterday I went and bought bathroom scale.. WHY? so I can weigh my car parts of course.
The black parts car I picked up had a roll bar in it. fairly standard piece I guess hoop from top of long to top of long and a diagonal brace pass corner to upper driver corner. with a charlie bar going to the passenger floor board. whole thing is 41 pounds. Pretty heavy tubing and half ass decent welds. Since I am not wheel to wheel racing I guess it will be just fine. also ran through a few set of wheels and tires just for kicks. 15 x 7 diamonds (knarly) with hard ass Yoko Advans 43lbs 15 x 8 Diamond Pro R3S04 Hoosiers 39 lbs 15 x 8.5 Centerlines with Hoosier slicks 30.5 pounds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |

So OK there isn't much room for a response
What about something else to think about... I ordered a Engman Stiffening kit last year. Which would be better for the Red Neck Racer? just a siffening kit? or just a roll bar as described above. stiffening kit is 18 pounds but doesn't provide any roll over protection. Roll bar I don't know how much it will aid to stiffening but 40+ pounds is a lot Is it over kill to put both pieces in? Don't intend on tracking the car all the time but I will Autocross it monthly at a minimum |
