demon Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Apologies if this has already been answered, searched as much as possible and found no answer. I currently have an Autopower bolt-in rollbar which I have not yet installed - http://www.ioportracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=60170&Category_Code=AP170 My question is, does anyone know if the "U-Weld Rollcage Kit ( http://www.ioportracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=60170C&Category_Code=AP170 ) " when welded to the above mentioned Rollbar results in the equivalent of the full bolt-in rollcage they offer ( http://www.ioportracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=83170&Category_Code=AP170 ), or are they completely different pieces and would it benefit me to simply purchase the full rollcage? Any info appreciated, car is for strict track duty only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zen Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 Judging from the pictures they are totally different, the last pic shows bars that go down into the foot well area of the driver and passenger. The first pic and the second pic only shows bars for the rear of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad-ManQ45 Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 If this will be a street car, don't put the full cage in - just come off the main hoop down to the front of the rocker box next to the seat. That way you don't have to worry about your noggin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for reference, I found out from Autopower that the two are completely different - the U-Weld kit is *not* legal for SCCA/NASA competition, while the full cage is.

Mikelly Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 If you are going to compete with the car, then by all means, I'd recommend the "Cage" as opposed to the weld in kit. However, if you are just doing track day events, then go with what you have and the weld in kit, which is what I'll be doing. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
