Roll bar vs. Roll cage.

[FunfGan]

I'm not worried about hitting my head on a bar behind, just the one to the side.

You're proving your own statment from earlier.

It's a street car, you don't need a roll bar.

Or make a track car with a roll bar, fixed back seats and harnesses.

I'd rather not track and drift a car without a roll cage.

Then get a roll bar, fixed backs and harnesses................it's going to make DD'ing a pain in the ass though.

[FunfGan]

I do have harnesses(unfortunately before the cage) and looking for a cheap, but genuine brand fixed back. And yeah, thats why I meant I was an idiot----> DD-ing a car with no heat or a/c, p/s, interior, a 302 and a full cage.

[FunfGan]

OP, case in point if you're driving on the street just get a bar.

Of course, only the most quality of upgrades. I was actually thinking about putting an e36 engine in my car too. Anybody tried this? How does it fit?

I don't understand how padding does not stop injury. Won't hitting your head on the B pilar be more dangerous?

[Kershaw]

yeah. but it's not common for people to smack their heads on the b pillar.

but a cage will run behind a seat. usually has a cross beam that is a good potential head injury point.

and let's take a 40lb pole, cover it padding, and let met smack you upside the head with it. it's going to hurt. put 3000lbs behind it... it's going to hurt more.

It will still hurt either way. If you hit a solid metal bar with no helmet on and only an inch or two of padding, it will do damage. Thats why you want the bars tucked as far up as possible.

[Chaz]

offtopic- did you ever get that engine in your car funganf?

Also, I would think with a proper seat and harness you would not have to worry about hitting your head on a bar that if done right should be behind your seat.

Just wear a helmet all of the time and stop worrying.

That's what my psychologist told me to do...
