Can I buy one in a kit of some sort, or am I better off going to the local race shops (not RICE shops, we actually have NASCAR wannabes around here, so there are shops for real race cars) and have one built?

 

i think they have them at mariah but im not entirely sure.

One of the nicest bolt or weld in roll bars ive seen. Fitment is very snug to panels. And a really nice price.

 

make your own...

 

Autopower is a good ol' standby for 1st gen rollbars.

 

Competition Engineering makes the main hoop, then you buy the universal bar kit to finish it out in either a 6 or 8 point configuration. The kit is all cut and weld to fit, same one I have. Iirc, Autopower makes a bolt in kit. These are the cheaper options if you can diy, otherwise you will pay a pretty penny for a custom made one.

If you plan on tracking the car, make sure what ever you install will meet thier specs.

 

Autopower is bolt in.Uses plates below the body to spread the load.Im sure it helps a bit,but I would be sceptical if its legal in most racing situations....mine is a streetcar.

 

Rollbar and air conditioning.........you cant seriously be considering making a track car.

 

I'm going to make it do whatever I want it to do.
