Geeh I wish my dad cared about me enough to get me a roll bar...:mad:

In racing, we generally require a seat back brace to the harness bar for any adjustable seat that does not meet a certain spec. Again, this is a remote scenario, but so is rolling the car hard enough to really need a roll bar. Anyway, I would advise that you put roll bar padding on the main hoop, just in case.

lol i didnt even realize that was his battery box, It looked like a lunch kit haha. Im wondering why he wouldnt mount the battery box inside one of the bin cubbies. Amazing that the car used to be brown, thats unbelievable. A very nice example of a first gen. But anyways holy crap ive gotten this thread off track sorry bout that
Another thing i just noticed, his paint color is Honda white-silver.... Maybe it changes a little bit depending on the lighting, just a thought |
Talk to DirectFreak. He's got a cool cage with swing outs for side impact protection... I PM'ed him on it years ago, cause I like it... I wanted something more than just a roll bar without the complications a a full on cage.
Might combine that idea with Bern's integration of the rear strut bar... I'd bet where Mazda put the suspension is a pretty strong point in the chassis. On a side note, Why does RotaryRevn's bar and Max7's bar look different, even though they're both Autopower... RotaryRevn's looks like it's missing something. And who made YapaKanichi's bar? |
Autopower has several options for bracing, harness add ons and crossbracing, solid and removable.
So depending on what options you get they may look different. https://www.ioportracing.com/images/streetrollbar.jpg Street https://www.ioportracing.com/images/racerollbar.jpg Race https://www.ioportracing.com/images/...ortrollbar.jpg Street Sport https://www.ioportracing.com/images/boltinrollcage.jpg Bolt in cage And you can mix and match, mine has the harness as well as the diagonal and seat brace. |
I have been considering a autopower race bolt in for some time, but I worry about it restricting the movement of my seat. Im nearly 6'1" and although I dont even need the seat all the way back, I worry about the cage limiting the movement of the seat.
any of you have this problem |
Definitely getting padding on any bar fellas, no matter how far back it is.
I used to drive a miata with a roll bar in it, granted its a lot lower than one would be in a 7, but never know what can happen in a crash. I was reared once in the miata, head slammed back into the bar, thank god for the padding or else I would have almost definitely gotten a concusion (sp?). Still had a bit of a headache, but it was gone after a few minutes. Please pad any kind of roll bar/cage you get. |
