is that all you're going to do? just that hoop?

Keep on going Diego
that's a sweet beginning of a wonderfull rollcage :up:

[diegom6]

so far yes Rob, only that I don't want to fuck up my interior full of tubular bars...lol

[Rob]

thats not going to do much in a roll :?

safety is a compromise

[diegom6]

sure, but I'm not attemp to make mycar like a race car, niether race a challenge or so....is just for more securityin case I could get a roll over, nothing is worse than having that, a friend of me in his old Impreza turbo made a roll over and crashed againta a wall and he told me that bar save almso his life, the same crappy bar as I'm using.

[Rob]

but a real roll bar with proper supports is much much safer in the event of a roll over than just that single hoop. I understand you dont want to hack up your interior, but like I said above, safety is a compromise. I'd hate to see you get hurt because you didnt want to have a few extra bars in the car

That thing has almost no support.

Sure Rob, and agree with you, but like I said, nothing is worse than have at least that turb, that Impreza that i told you had the same desing bar as me and saved his life anyways.

Probably will add a supportin the back in the fututre, by now I'm letting like just like that.

If not i have to make the holes for the rear turb supports and will hack up my interior

[SykoBMW]

You don't have to hack your interior, no one could use the backseat though. If I had a digi cam I'd post a pic of my bar.

[diegom6]

would love to see yours, now that I'm seeing that pic, I just got a better idea of how will look like the support bar, I will add it eventually, but for now only will go that center bar.

[UNHCLL]

no interior modification. Stock seats still fit.

Without down bars to the rear that hoop is worthless and is just something to bend and come close to your skull in a roll-over.

[diegom6]

Damm that pic took me like 5 mins to download....nice, actually I decided to put two bars more from the top of the tube like that pic, but instead will run near the roof and will end in the trunk I think....don't like those bars next to my doors.

ThankS!
