No worries. I just was letting people know that you can get the roll bar in this configuration you see in the pic (non removable) or in the other pic you posted (removable). This can be done in either a cage or roll bar. So, this is not a good indication as to weather its a full cage or not.

 

lol.... i have a cage dude, horizontal bar is welded to the main hoop. only run the front section if i go to the track or a show.

 

Mike, You have good eye. Even I didnt catch it. He's rolling w/a full cage set-up less the front bars
I know what you do for work & that explains how you caught that detail

 

Is it possible to load 4 wheels with tires in the back seat with these bars? I need to carry a set of rcomps with me to events and see this being an issue. My rear seats have to stay in per class requirements, im happy in the class i am in so removal of the seats is not an option.

I see autopower has a street sport bar that has a removable harness bar which might work for me,

Is there anyone using this? If so can you shoot some pics of it?

 

^^^Ive tried & dimensionally will not fit between the main hoop vertical bar & the angled rear legs (Loading from the rear doors)
Maybe if you tried loading the tires from the front seat, up & over the horizontal bar into the rear.
Its going to be a PITA if its even possible. Maybe the other guys have some ideas

BTW: I located the guy that was fabbing the rear tow hitches only to find he wont make them anymore. Im interested in pulling a small gear trailer

 

My Autopower bolt-in roll bar does NOT have the removable harness bar, and I cannot load my track wheels/tires in the back seat through the back doors. The only way I can put wheels/tires in my backseat now is to remove one of the front seats and load them into the back seat area that way—really inconvenient and annoying.

However, it MIGHT be possible with significantly smaller/narrower tires than the 285/30-18 Hoosiers I have, like 235/40-17 or a 245/40-17.

I wish it were possible for me to fit three wheels/tires in the Evo 8/9's trunk. Then I could strap the fourth wheel/tire into the front passenger seat, and load my fuel jugs into the back seat area (also less than convenient as the jugs are awkward and heavy when they're full of E85).

 

So do you guys all REALLY do this for safety or for looks? Im going to assume 50/50.

 

I'm not ripping out my back seats to make my car look good.

 

But for every YOU, Im sure there is another guy who has it for looks.

 

Fair.

Hey, I've seen the Fast and the Furious!

 

This is the Motorsports forum, not Show & Shine.

 

The bar is made to SCCA specifications (wall thickness, DOM bend etc)

I think we have to run these plates or weld-in to make really legit

 

So you must have it for looks... ??? Haha just kidding

Ah ok. That makes sense. I suppose it's safer either way but didn't know that it passes scca specs.

 

You do not need to run the extra plates to pass SCCA tech. The way the bar is designed from the factory passes tech. The extra plates are just things people do on their own to make the bar safer.

 

And I'm definitely not adding over 60 pounds to my car for "looks."
