I'm going to shoot for the mid 10's this year. I hope to get my GTO down under 3,000 lbs

 

What is the price?

 

You probably don't want to know lol

 

Yes also you will need two more bars off the main hoop to the trans tunnel.one on each side

 

Any pics of where these other two bars need to go? I want to be sure I do this right.....I've been searching, but no luck yet

 

For all the cool pix, I'm looking to get 2 light weight, high back seats for my car, for the 5 points harness, whats are some good choices, thanks.....

 

I have Toyota MR2 seats in mine....a lot lighter and more comfortable than the stock ones...plus if they are in good shape you can sell your stock ones for a good bit of money to fund your project

But if you pull your seats and belts you will set your airbag light.

 

name brand will have a higher price and last longer , than the cheapy ones , both will be alot lighter than stock

ive sat in alot of seats and not all are created equal , best thing is to find seats you feel comfortable in

 

S/C'd cav is right.....plus we are all built different so the perfect seat to one person might be unbarable to someone else.

On another note...I got and test fitted my main hoop last nice and its PERFECT

 

? Autopower is one of the best names in road racing and it's hardly considered cheap. This is my personal car and it's built for road racing and will never be down a dragstrip.

 

You would think a cage would be a cage and a roll bar would be a roll bar, but It's amazinghow different they are for different racing

 

guess you missed the LOL at the end of my comment

i was more surprised you just didnt have the shop make you one , the one that was made and fitted to my goat(which is BMR's goat) is very nicely done , granted its a 5 point , but adding a 6th is easy enough

autopower does make some good stuff , though my personal preference is custom and welded in vs off the shelf bolt ins

that is very true , once you past 6 points

 

Started notching my rear bars last night

 

Haha, I thought you were calling it junk! Well that was back when I was working for the magazines and yes, I was actually going to have our former employee, Matt at ProFab, make it for the car. He did a killer job on my friend's road race Camaro.

 

Still need to put in the front bars, but here is the start of my install.
Shannon climbed in the car and helped me tonight!

 

It's definitely cool to see people cutting these up and making some ridiculously fast cars out of them!

Keep us updated on this

 

lol , nah

they definitely arent junk , as far as bolt ins go , they are very nice

i actually knew someone that had a backyard hack looking 4 point roll , and everyone on the board gave her crap about it , but it actually saved her life one night



dam !!!!! them are some big tubs !!!! see the 4 link sitting in there too

 

Hey mark, you kinda a motivate me to do it myself man, that's looking kinda, will do for me, and with the savings, get the mig welder i need, and get away from my old Lincoln 225 stick welder, do you think the BMR fellas will make me the loop, since they already have the poster board pattern, i have hand grinder, shop saw, tube notching fixture-jig, i don't have the tube bender, but i can get my muffler shop buddy to do that, for the aft bars, sense i want them true the speaker board, so i can put rear seat in, when not racing, thanks for your contribution, David.

 

It only cost me $142 for 11 foot of pipe and labor, but shipping would probably kill you....being down there where you are I'm sure you've got some speed dhops around uour area that could bend one up for you like they did...I could call them and ask though.


Or maybe I could make another pattern off my bar and just mail you the pattern?

 

I picked up a Hobart Handler 120 almost 20 years ago for $100, then put a $60 capacitor in it and have beat on it ever since.....IF this one ever dies I'm going to buy another Hobart
