Glad you like it! I'm 5' 10.5" w/ long back (when sitting down, I'm taller than some ppl @ 6', haha.Grandpa01 wrote:Can you post a picture of you in it and the headroom clearance? Also your height?
And it looks great.
Of course! We can get your rollbar customized height wise no problem . Also, if you wish, the mounting plates can be supplied separately, so that you can get the main hoop trimmed down to your exact height specifications once installed.madcowvert wrote:i like it but there is only one thing that i have aganist it and its that the top is so damm tall is there any way to cut it down some?
Pricing is still being determined at this time, but expect to pay under $700 shipped to your door! For local NICO members, full installation can be provided by DavisFab. If interested, please feel free to contact me directly via email or posting in this thread.madcowvert wrote:so what are we looking at price wise?
I'll get the ball rolling & will have full details by the end of next week - finalizing details of the rollbar, shipping, and everything .cheap_sticker05 wrote:VERY VERY Interested!! Just tell me when you will start taking payments.Rich-
Of course you can get it in a full cage! Email me any special requests and I'll help set you up. Of course, turn-around time for a cage will be longer and also depends on all the specs you want (how you want the front legs, etc, etc). Pricing for a simple "no frills" cage starts at $1000 + shipping .G_sl1de wrote:Can i get it in a full cage?i need a 6 point with a halo

Because of the mounting points, it will be pretty difficult to make the rear legs "bolt-in" unless you hack away at your factory strut brace.Junkies wrote:so this roll bar kit, you have to weld it in right. will you guys be making a bolt in kit soon? my vert is a daily driver and i dont think having this will be good for daily driving. i would love it if i had the freedom of taking it off whenever.
You can still access the stock rear speakers the way I had it mounted. As long as the speaker is not too deep (i.e. aftermarket one w/ huge magnet), you can leave it as is, I'll get some pics up later of that if you are concerned about that aspec.RedEvilRPS13 wrote:im 6'3"..would i fit? and what has to be removed to install, and can you still access the rear speakers?
Formula D follows SCCA, which this style is legal (they do not restrict the way the diagonal brace is run). I went through the NASA rule book (the general one) for Roll Bars and this one meets all requirements. However, we can have it built either way. I am sure you can also flip the kit if need be since the rear legs are not welded to the hoop & the main hoop extends vertical from the mounting plates.DukeBoy wrote:I don't know what everybodys' intentions are for their verts if they get this bar, but your diagonal brace in your roll bar should go from the hoop on the passenger floor nearest the mounting plate to above the drivers head. I think your diagonal brace is reversed or the entire preassemble hoop was installed reversed. It might be OK for the HPDE because it requires a simple roll bar, but other sanctions might not allow what you have like US Drift that follows NASA rulebook. I could be wrong, but I would double check if I were you. But like I said, it all depends on how far you want to take you vert. Your vert looks cool though. Peace.

You are gonna need it when I get back and start driving the rex lolIhiryu wrote:OMG, this is what I've been waiting for!!!
That's good to know. I only brought it to your attention because at the tech inspection at US Drift, he said I should have a diagonal brace goin above my head. He let me drift anyway. And the NASA rulebook says it should be that way for full cages, but they aren't that specific for general roll bars. Just making sure bro. Welcome to the vert roll bar club.FRSport wrote:

This particular vert is not planning on seeing any US Drift events any time soon, so I should be covered.
Thanks for the heads up, I'll bring this to the fabricator's attention to make sure it can be run either way. He competes in Formula D, so I know it's at least legal to that for drift competition.
*EDIT: just spoke w/ Davis Ikemiya, all final production kits will be US Drift legal .
And the way the current diagonal brace is run should be no problems for most organizations - good enough for Porshe, good enough for me :

Definately appreciated! . Very good to see more verts in Drifting competition over here in the states. So many organizations, so little time .DukeBoy wrote:
