Okay so I got some better pictures but only one real good interior shot. It was still dark but not that many parking garages that wont kick you out. I havent washed my car in like a month or two nor have I vacuumed out the inside. There is still metal shavings and dust all over. Dont care. Maybe when I can drag my friend out of bed before it gets dark out I can have some better ones.

Nice, is that just bolt in or is it welded?

c0ldf1ame 11-11-2009 01:08 PM

which bar is that

rodjonathan 11-11-2009 01:08 PM

cars looking great bro ... love what youve done with it

RawrX8 11-11-2009 03:03 PM

Bolt in autopower race bar welded cross brace. I will be welding the bottom plates to the car soon as it dries up. I dont think ill fully weld it to he car just because be a mess to take it out if I decide that I want to go stock....:lol2: :rofl: :lol2: Whats not in the picture are AutoEXE struts and bracing.

Also the stupid angle brace thats behind the rear seat that I painted black will be coming out. One more eye pleasing will be made. I have a lot on my plate for a friend I need to finish before I can start that.

Now hopefully I can get stance coilovers soon :tear:

6'3 with a helmet I have 1inch head room. I fab my own bracket to give me plenty of head room.

Edit: Any lower the seat would be to ganster lean for me.

Nemesis8 11-11-2009 07:38 PM

OK, must be the lighting. That's good on the headroom even with a sunroof!

388 wut?

gh8st 11-12-2009 11:04 AM

looks nice man, very clean setup.. are roll cages road legal? I may be wrong, but i think in ny you can't have it on a road going car.

expo1 11-12-2009 11:12 AM

I hope so, I have an Autopower bar also :)

First time I have ever heard that. Better ban all the GT3s in NY than.

:dunno: Kersh that was just some random generated plate when I got the car. Wut now?

pdxhak 11-12-2009 12:37 PM

Full roll bars are not street legal. Not sure if rear roll bars are either with cars that have back seats. It is because you do not drive on the street wearing a helmet. If you get in an accident then it would be easy for the driver or a passenger to slam their head against it.

dannobre 11-12-2009 02:30 PM

I have rear seats...but You can't sit in them ;)

I took them out...but it was hellishly noisy for the very little added weight...so I put them back in

It was a general statement. Obviously our car was designed with backseats so it is worth mentioning for anyone considering adding a roll bar.

I didnt remove mine for loss of weight. I did it a long time ago because I was sick of giving people rides. The noise is rather annoying, but I listen to smacking rivets all day so a little road drone is like sitting in a library.

GTFO Mike! :lol2: You saw for yourself when I installed it in your parking lot :rofl:

Oh yeah David I was looking for the RCW on roll bars but I couldn't find anything. Just ref for other people. I have never heard of someone getting a ticket for it. I guess you would have to royal piss off a cop to make them jump your shit about it.
