what brands of harness bars should i consider getin? any brands that sell boltins that i could do myself without having to drill into the chassis or any other shinanigans of that sort

 

i suggest you do a search and research on this subject. doing something like this wrong can have deadly consequences

 

I have a Sparco Harness Bar, it attaches to the shoulder Belt bolts...it works ok without having to drill holes in the car. The bad news is that they are about $500

 

$500 just for a harness bar!! i would have just bought 4 point roll bar from auto power or kirk racing.

 

Yeah, but you'll have that added weight and you'll have to wear a helmet to daily drive your Z . . . all depends what you'd use your car for.

 

I got my sparco harness bar brand new for 387 shipped last week

 

using harnesses on the street isn't really a good idea either though

 

Okay since no one is explaining why it's a bad idea I will.

If you're going to be using this for racing, in conjunction w/ a harness, most organizations/leagues will not pass it.

On the street it shouldn't really be passed either.

W/ the regular factory belt, in the event of a rollover it allows your upper body/dome to move to one side or the other so the roof doesn't break your neck.

If you have a harness bar/ harness setup and no cage, you're strapped in good. You're not gonna be able to move and the moment a rollover happens you're more than likely going to crush your skull or break your neck.

You'd be better off going w/ a 4pt weld in type roll bar that will more than likely have a spot for harnesses, protect you in a rollover, and cost about the same (up front) as a harness bar. That's just my opinion though, and what I plan to do.

 

Makes sense to me...

 

^^ Thats my plan as well....

 

Ditto. I'm looking at scheduling the custom build over the winter break.

 

I need a frickin DD before I can get serious about my car.

 

And stickier tires

But for real I know what you mean... I have a DD, I just need the funds to get serious and get everything I want lol....

4 point at least BTW..... Do it right the 1st time.

 

Yep 4 pt at least.

I've got a custom cage just waiting to be welded into my '69 stang when I get the chance. (Then again it's been sitting out of the car for a year and a half)

Stickier tires.....If we're talkin straights, go w/ some Hoosier or MT's....if we're talking curves, I'm still trying to decide.

 

I assumed you were talking about the Z in case it wasn't really built for the straights and im a HUGE corners kinda guy, so anything thats sticky as hell with a stiff sidewall will work for me. Still figuring out the right tire and suspension combo, but it's working out really well. The last ting I want to do is decapitate myself with an inadequate roll bar design lol.

 

BCR makes a nice bar

 

For what you spent on a body kit, wheels and the sound system you probably could have had a Civic.

 

its 4 point roll bar not roll cage. its located behind your seats. the exact position of the roll bar would be by the B pillar or right behind it. you'll have to put those cushions or pads around the bar.

 

Enough w/ your logic lol. But I hear ya bro.
