Roll cage/roll bar installed
 
I finally got arownd installing my roll cage/roll bar what ever you want to call it. I also got new seats and new harnesses. Now I have to upgrade the turbo and then I will be ready for next year. No more getting kicked off the track ;D 98ctr

PS: big thanks to my friend Wayde Segawa for helping me weld the cage in.

Looks good man. When you go to the track and they run the tech inspection, do they check out the plates you used and the welds etc.? Just wondering because I did mine myself and wasn't sure if I needed a licensed welder to do it up for me. It came out fine though.
Also how much room is there between the main hoop and your roof? It was a tight fit for me, but I guess it's better than being too close to your head :-\

Re:Roll cage/roll bar installed
 
I don't think they check your cage too much. They will tell you if there is something wrong with it, if its obvious, but I don't think they get down and dirty. There is about 1/2" gap between the loop and the headliner. I made mine a tight fit too so I can retain as much room in the car as posible. 98ctr

I got a gt35r that I need to install, and make a 3" downpipe instead of the 2.5" that I have now. 98ctr

I hear ya, better safe than sorry and I beleive there is a limit as to how low the main hoop has to be. Here's a few shots of how close mine is as well. it was a tight squeeze.

Re:Roll cage/roll bar installed

Re:Roll cage/roll bar installed

Bet it has been on www.clubEK.net for a while too. Nice work 98CTR. Fitment looks great. How much weight do you think it adds?

No fabbing at all. All I had to do is cut to fit and notch a couple of the pipes.

That official from Woodburn did get a little pissy with me cuz the back of my seat doesn't touch the back bar. I can make it touch but then I can't reach the peddles.

It was really tough deciding where to put it because both Jeff and I daily drive the car. He's like 6'1" and I'm barely 5'7" so it was a challenge...

Well Ihope I don't get into too much trouble next year... we'll see... You and me seem stir it up when were out there, well that is if you can even stay on the track!

it took me 3 months to get my turbo on, so he works faster than me at least.



did the cage do much for stiffening the chassis?

the rain is more fun. I almost ran my truck into a curb last night when it was raining, but it was fun.

So you just buy it as a bunch of tubes and weld it all together? And how come you've got the stock hood back on stefan?

Well you buy the pre cut and formed cage/roll bar from Art Morrison and then you cut to fit and notch the ends that need to be notched. Then you tack it and weld it. 98ctr
