I am looking for a supplier of a NICE 5 or 6 bar roll bar for the convertable, looking for a NON-weld in unit (aka bolt in) anyone have a vendor link or appropriate site for my viewing pleasure?

Thanks

Plus any pictures of your setup would be great.

 

There are no weld in multi-point cages/bars available fo0r the vert. If you see any, they are custom made.
Kirk Racing sells a roll hoop tha has four attachment points. The floor and up along the b-pillar where the seatbelt bolts to.
There are plenty of pics of it here:

What you could do is use front part of the autopower cage kit. The problem is that kits for the coupes will not permit the operation of the top or make it difficult as in having to remove the targa section each and every time. This is a result of the bracing between the main hoop and the rear shock towers.
Here is a custom bar in a vert:

I don't know anything about this car. I am sure the cage is a one-off custom and it appears that the targa section is there and folded down like it would under normal operation. The rear bracing for the main hoop is probably atteched to the cross-brace in front of the "storage bin" area or actually in them on the floor.

 

Are you looking street or track? Take a look at www.mazdatrix.com and check out there EP vert race car.

 

I will be driving mine on the street but I am a weekend Autocrosser and would feel much more comfortable with a bar as I almost rolled a miata a couple seasons ago and that was a bit of a reality check, especially because this car is turbo......

 

I got that from Mitch Piper in Manassas, VA. He had to carefully fit it, so that I could still put the top up. FWIW, he makes a wide variety of competion cages and chassis modifications.

 

Haven't seen you around in a while, Attila The Fun! I trust that you didn't end up selling your 20b vert, right? I knew you were saying that your kids' college fund was going to cut into it or something..

 

I'm sure the kirk racing bar would do the job plenty but it is very thin. Don't get me wrong I am not the one to diss functionality but it just "looks" weak bein such a small diameter tubing. I think if someone actually did make a very nice, multi-bar, "bolt-in" kit they would sell alot of them, I know I would buy one in a second (weekend autoxer aswell- s4 turbo vert).

I ended up working 60 to 80 hours/week to take care of much of the college expenses. That's the bad news. The good news is that I still have the car, and it still runs good.
