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 just came back from the race shop in town. Yes it is a roundy round place. But he does build cages. and was willing to do a roll bar NOT the way I wanted it. and cost me 700 bills.
Pretty much confirmed what I thoughtabout the bar I have. Ain't as safe as it should be. So I am probably not going to put itin the car. If at all it will be bolt in for track days. |
