What setup for roll protection and belts do you guys like to use for a street/track car? I am looking to update / redo my setup soon and looking for what you guys have done.
I currently run a roll hoop that bolts to the floor and belts that are bolted to the firewall (but not very adequately). I'm kind of ruling out a harness bar due to the reports of the belts being mounted a little high. Does a roll hoop even really add much protection with the 914 having the targa bar? Does anyone know why they added them to the 914 gt? Maybe for a more high speed crash? |

For DE's the hoop you have is probably ok as the stock structure hasn't been modified. However.....get a good helmet and a good proper seat and take the time to install it well. Watch this....easily can happen to you in a DE---this was a low speed incident on damp track with no intent to push it....
