I did a search, but the info seems old

I am looking for a 4 point roll bar, either the Kirk racing or Autopower bar. Any feed back on either setup would be great. I want to run harnesses and will be running stock seats for now, but upgrading to race seats soon.

I am looking for information on quality, fitment, and thoughts after having the bars installed. Also, is there anything that I need to watch out for with these roll bars?

Thanks

 

There's a few threads in the autocross/road racing section. Most are going with the Kirk cage.

 

i checked the auto cross section and did not find any current info, any more feed back?

 

Although the info is old, Kirk & Autopower have not changed their designs, so I don't see why anybody's opinion has changed.

My opinion. Don't get a roll bar, don't run harnesses, and don't run racing seats on the street. You are actually putting yourself in a lot more danger by doing so. Racing seats and harnesses are not safe without a roll bar. A roll bar is not safe without racing seats AND harnesses. Racing seats, harnesses, and a roll bar are not safe without a helmet and HANS type device. I have explained this 1000 times in other threads about this very topic so search through those old threads and you will find my long in-depth information on this in at least one of them.

 

I did not think that the opinions of the people before would have changed, but maybe that more people now have roll bars. Or people that bought them before and were too caught up in the (cool factor of having a roll cage) are thinking that if only I had done the bar this way, it would have been better. That is what I was looking for.

I am also setting my car up to be more of a track car with little us on the street as I have another car, and I will be wearing a helmet.

 

^^^Good. Kirk is the only SCCA approved one of the two .

 

Cool, the SCCA approval was one of the things I was wonding about. I heard that the SCCA might change the specs for the roll bars for 2007 or 2008, is this true? And will the Kirk Roll Bar still meet the new specs?

Thanks

 

shameless plug:

I am selling my Kirk right now. it is sitting in my garage ready to go.

I thought you were in VA? I wish you would ship it.

 

Do you have more photos of the roll bar? It is hard to tell, but is the cross bar for harnesses? I am looking for one that is setup for harness.

 

it is set up for harness's. Kirk only comes in 2 designs.

X back supports and straight back supports.


no I dont have more pics.

 

I moved last month. not worth it to ship.

 

Harness goes there

 

how far are you from the AZ-Cali boarder? I live in Phoenix AZ, would you be willing to meet me have way for the sale?

 

I am in San Diego it is about 4 hours from Phoenix. I will be coming to Phoenix for Christmas on the 22nd. I can bring it, but I would need the money before I do since I dont wanna be stuck with it the whole time I am there and it is a biatch to transport.

 

I don't know about the rule changes, but give Kirk Racing a call. They would know much better than I would.
