    Harness bar price if possible. I'm not sure where you will mount it but one requirement for many autoxers is the interior needs to stay intact with as little modifications as possible.....You can cut holes in interior parts is necessary but I wouldn't make something that requires the removal of any complete panels or parts.

    And possibly it will be available on the site by the end of the week.

    In for a harness bar.

    Perfect for mounting a harness DUH! But also a helmet hook and a camera mount. I would look into camera mounts and size the tubing accordingly

    are you making this brace because the x is too stiff?

    i have had some questions about whether it was such a good idea to tie the subframe to the lcabs but like all of your stuff i am very interested in seeing this can you post pics?

    Hmm zen brace.. Daily Driver... 130$...

    This might be a brace id be down for!

    Does a harness bar provide any stiffening? or simply a place for harnesses?

    Performance >> price IMO.
    As far as I can tell you are one in a thousand...

    The price of the Autopower cage is something else...

    The fitment and engineering behind it is well... Something else too.

    I'd love to...

    The problem is that it would be expensive to produce and I could not compete with (meaning the price) what is already out there.
    If you could sell a better fitting ala carte main hoop for the e30 I would be interested.

    I'm currently saving for the rest of the braces and the "lunatic" X brace, but I think this is a great idea for those on the board who aren't as track addicted as others. Would this new brace be compatible with the current lower X? If so...I have another brace to save for.

    As for harness bars, how about a roll bar instead? I personally would rather have the extra protection of the roll bar than the harness bar, as I plan on using my car for time trials and beyond. A harness bar would definitely suffice for most people though.
