I'd consider the Kirk roll bar for a weekend track car. Alternatively, you could consider the Kirk roll cage. It comes in many varieties.

I'd avoid that one - the cross brace looks too far back for harness attachment.

Pic 2 shows the harnesses installed on the cardiff one - looks ok to me as long as its not a super short harness, or the user is especially short

CarDiff is a german company that is specialized for rollbars for different racing series. For example. they run 2 hondas at the 24h race at the "green hell"

The harnesses are 3" Schroth 6point harnesses that work very good with the cardiff cage. i think the harnesses are even to long. You won´t have any problems attaching harnesses to that cage.

I agree.........weekend track car and wanting more protection there ya go....

There i no need for a full cage unless you are actually putting the car to the track........and when it comes to a full cage, i say custom or go home! rick doggs cage was obviously nicely fabricated...

Rickdogg:
how did you connect your takata's harnesses........did you end up welding or mounting studs to clip to? or did you wrap around the horizontal cross brace bar?

No diagonal bar?

My only issue with this Kirk is that the cross-brace for the harnesses is on the upper end of being too low. Handling my OCD, I bumped each side up about an inch with some fabrication. Beefy bolts and washers on the driver's side, and a 6" x 6" x 1/2" TZM plate on the passenger side (neither shown in this pic).
