GSpeed Roll Cage Kit Development - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

too bad because when you slide the seats all the way back like I did, the G-speed design is perfect to give maximum clearance behind the seats. Looking forward to a potential new design, two U shaped tubes may be the easiest way to go.

It'll most likely be a single U and a straight bar on the passenger side. With the diagonal on the passenger side, you can't move the seat as far back anyways.

Alright, we're ready to pursue this. We need a car to use for the R&D, though. Ours no longer has an interior (and there's a welded cage in the way), so we need to borrow a car from someone.

We need a BRZ or FR-S with a full interior for at least a month. We'll be pulling seats, interior panels, etc. to take measurements, maybe 3D scans, etc.

In return for helping us bring a new product to market, this customer will get a free bolt-in harness bar, free installation, etc.

If interested, contact us through PM here, or email sales@gspeed.com

I'd love to participate but I had one welded in last year. Somebody will be getting great deal.

If only I still had a 2nd car to drive, I'd bring mine down this weekend for you guys!

Well damn. Installed a harness bar last month. I'll be there June 25 for the Apex event. I'll come by at some point. Maybe we can figure something out.

Sent you an email to the address you supplied. Let me know through here if you didn't get it, or call 877-512-5180 and ask for Jake.

Shady195 · 06-21-2016, 04:30 PM

Interested in this.

I've been looking to possibly buy a cage ready to just be welded in rather than dropping it off to someoen to have one done.

ka-t_240 · 06-22-2016, 07:44 PM

Would this 4 point kit be available as a weld in option? Seems it would just require different plates to be welded in? Do you have any idea on where the cage will attach?

-Maybe
-In theory, there's no reason you couldn't just weld in the standard bolt plates, though. Just put some rosettes in the bolt holes.
-Not 100% sure yet.

It's going to be tough to bolt this thing in the car. That's probably a big part of why no one else has released one yet. There aren't many good spots to bolt to on this chassis, so it may be a little unorthodox.

Exactly, it all comes down to how/where a good location can be found to do the mounting.

I have thought many times about some kind of a 4 point system to safely use a hans/5-point. Trying to find an option that fits properly, add safety, and hopefully allows the use of most of the interior. Asking soooo much

subbing to find out about the 4 point bolt ins. Just a quick note that you can take or leave how you wish... a lot of us want to retain use of the back seats (what little use it is) . so an option that could keep this would be desirable (at least to me).
