If you need a link to build one, you probably should not try to build yourself. Find a local fabrication shop and build something.
just trying find out some quick idea for what i need.

I got this and had the guy that built my brothers drag car cage put it in for me. But it seems that they aren't selling the 86 version anymore at Evasive, or I can't find it...

It took 4 months from ordering it to having everything in the car done.

I know there were many comments on the autopower bar not being "legal" for most groups rules for roll bars. Maybe they quit making it?

I know my local shop charges less to make and install a custom bar than it would cost to buy/ship weld in the autopower bars.

We definitely had to hack it up and just used it as a starting point to get what I needed. It cost me about $1050 for the cage, shipping and to get it installed. If I had to start over, I would just make something from scratch.

My local shop treats people really good for fab on safety stuff. Plus, if I want to do stuff like make the base plates and help with that kind of stuff, I can do so. So its pretty awesome.

Just not ready to take that dive yes since I do so much auto-x still and my cars already on the heavy side of STX

the half cage weighed about ~60lbs, which is not as bad as I was anticipating.

it is the same thing i concern
anyway, it is still my daily.
i had went to one of the local shop

they said it is going to be more expensive for them to build a cage

i passed all the autox and my local track
once i am going to more serious event, i will know how i should do it at that time.
:thumbsup:

Stock Seat, Belt, etc is the safest way to go until you have all the safety stuff in a combo.

Im already a 100lbs or so heavier than a FRS with the brz limited. So, have to shave the weight somewhere!

Please do not use a harness and bucket on track without at least a half cage with harness bar. This method of using harness is for show cars only, and is NOT SAFE.
Question:

Are the Sparco seats designed for the "street" then to be considered unsafe?

Only the fixed buckets.

Also
"Designed" for the streets doesn't necessarily mean intended for a stock vehicle with no roll over protection.

My assumptions exactly.

Is Sparco subjecting the seats to crash testing like vehicle manufacturers are? :thumbsup:
