I've always wondered what the little bar above the driver's harness was for?

 

i think for fire extinguisher

 

uhhh, no. seatback brace.

anytime you're using an adjustable seat, you need that to keep the harness from killing the recliner on impact (causing you to fall back/slide under the belt.

 

I'm fairly certain it's a support for the driver's seat in case it collapses. Wouldn't make much sense to put the fire extinguisher in a hard to get place.

 

Looks good.

 

Damn that looks awesome, do u have a link for where u got the roll bar?

 

lol, i didnt know eather abourt the bar
the guy at the shop told me it was for a fire extinguisher, lol.

www.IOPortRacing.com <--- great guys to the the Autopower from.

 

I need a pic like in ur avatar now, but in my car, lol.

 

for the rear seats, I see some bolts.
could you take the bars out so people could get in the back sets if really really needed

 

i think the bar behind the seats are for mounting video cameras for the track...?

 

The bar behind the seats is for the people in the back to hold on to!

But, seriously- nice seats. I especially like the mirror, "Objects in mirror appear to be losing." Where did you get that?

 

no. You'd have to unbolt the whole thing to get the rears out.

You don't have passengers in the back with a roll bar.

You don't street drive a fully caged car.

These are facts.


the bar behind the seats is to secure your harnesses to. the bar above that behind the driver is for a seatback support for non-fixed back seats.

 

First let me say your install looks great! Nice job. I do have some questions for you and the rest of this forum and I am hoping on getting some USEFUL feedback.

I will be getting true racing seats (One piece seats that do no recline with a hole for the 5th anti-submarine belt.) and 5 or 6-point cam-lock belts. I will secure the shoulder harnesses to the rear seat belt mounts with some kind of buckle. I will also retain the stock 3-point seatbelts for daily use.

My questions is what to use for rollover protection. A harness bar provides a place to mount the shoulder harnesses to, but provides NO rollover protection. 4,5 or 6-point harness are not safe to use without some kind of rollover protection. I think a half or full cage is the untimate solution but not practical for me. I sill have ocassional back seat passengers.

Does someone make a roll bar for the EVO?

Next to my shop there is a shop which custom builds Baja 1000 race cars and I can have him custom make me a roll bar but why reinvent the wheel if one already exists.

Maybe I need to design a roll bar for the EVo that still allows use of the back seats...

Lets hear what you have to offer...
