Got my roll bar hoop the other day and fitted in the car. Works nice and sits just a tick above the targa bar.
Anyway I am going to put the forward diagonals from 4" below the curve of the hoop and have them end up 3-4 inches forward of the hand brake cut out. I am also going to penetrate the fire wall and tie in the rear shock towers to the hoop. is putting the Engman kit a good idea or would 16ga. scab plates under the bars at car connection points be enough. Remember lighter is better. Mainly concerned with stiffening the car for Autocross. at this point I wil never run Wheel to wheel racing in this car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

My car has been a full track car for several years now. I still keep it registered so I don't have to trailer it for quick repair jobs to local shops. I don't enjoy driving it on the street but once in a while I'll take it out to special events like the Hang Over Rally on New Years Day. I got a ticket in Malibu, the car was decked out in full numbers and class stickers. The CHP told me he used to have one years ago, never said a thing about my 3" safety belts. I guess if I was an ass I could have gotten a full safety inspection from him. I plan to do the same thing with my Boxster until I have to take it in for smog, then I'll have to make the decision to put the cats back on for inspections or give up registering it.
Here is a pic of it waiting to do the Hang Over Rally. Looks street legal to me. Attached image(s) |
