The whole roll bar/harness bar/bucket seat/hans/trackhotboi argument is as old as the 50,000 "what oil should I use?" threads that are created every day.
People that state a rollcage should be in any car that sees the track forget that 98% of the people that do track days don't trailer their car, nor do they have any interest to.

Not having rear seats is a bummer because we gotta go full race car just to keep from sliding around in our seats

I 1000% guaruntee you that having that "jungle gym" is 1000% better than not having it, and 100% better than a basic roll bar.

So... I ripped apart the interior to install my rollbar and....uhhh... it didn't go as planned...
Bar is way too close to the seat and too low for proper harness angle. It was made a couple inches shorter than what I requested. The biggest issue was that the top joints where welded on the wrong way so there is no way to get the top bolt in to join them properly. lol. Someone did an oopsie. The good part is that the guy was quick to respond and is making me a whole new bar with zero questions asked.

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. Left the Supra at home, grabbed my truck and trailer, and headed down to woodland Hills California. After selling the Aston and the Evo, I was thinking what to do with all the money in my savings account..... Then, fortuitously, somebody hooked me up with the dude selling a car I have wanted for about 40 years now. I guess I don't need to worry about naming this one.
The whole way home, everywhere I stopped, people wanted to know where it was from, what its story was, where it was going... All ages, races, and ethnicities. It really started to renew my hope in humanity. I couldn't believe the amount of early to mid 20-year-old people that were digging this car.
All the graphics are hand-painted which explains the poor spacing of the numbers on the door lol soon to be fixed.
