Looking for options for my car, I am moving back home(Guam), and would like all the work done on my car before I leave. I know I can get a custom one built, but that cost too much right now. What roll bars are you using, and where and how much did you get them done for. thanks.

Autopower's are dirt cheap and will get the job done, you can get them welded in pretty cheap too [patriot]

I have one it's a competition engineering.

A little welding and notching.

Not bad for 130 that I paid for the 8 point.

Got it from Summit.

I welded it myself. [patriot]

I was going to tig weld it but too much of a hassle to get the tig welder over the place or take the car to my buds shop.

So I just used a 220 mig welder.

I have the 8pt bar with swing outs and a couple improvements. This stuff felt really heavy to me. I had a friend in lodi weld mine in and it came out ok but took 3 monthes [Eek!]

My application did not justify a custom tig welded chromolly cage.

I want a cage also so lets get this topic going come on people let us know. I have hearg good things about the M and M are pretty good for 400

Posted by season'd 88 (Member # 169) on :

Unless you are a welder or have a buddy that welds..my recomendation is maier racing in hayward. Honest with me so far, and there work is VERY GOOD [patriot]

Posted by mtbaughs (Member # 4052) on :

Do it yourself if you can weld. It's a long project but worthwhile.

500 for everything, as in the cage, welding, painting, and install, if that is the case take it

i have an MM cage in my car with swing out bars cost me $400, there are only 2 tubes u have to weld, i set up my welder and did it in 10 minutes

Posted by icon (Member # 949) on :

im located in burlingame i can custom bend you a cage or you can buy one (i recommend art morrison)
everything i do is fully tig welded. pm me for price you can always stop by the house first and check out my work

Posted by Glenn (Member # 520) on :

maier racing will not install anyone elses roll bars but theirs. and for them to do a 6 point roll bar starts at $1000.

Posted by 1SLOWLX (Member # 558) on :

glenn was that with everything for 500? if so that is a deal let me know. I wanted swing out bars

No, I ordered my 8 pt from Jegs for $155, then Bigboy is going to install it for $500, so $655 for everything I guess.

Yep thats my car. Also threw up another pic under the hood. Took me forever to build that cage at home with a chop saw and some minor air tools. But I wanted it just like I wanted it and I didn't want to pay someone 4 grand for a road race cage. Hey thanks for the compliment [patriot]
