Even as it is with a stock alignment the car is exponentially more fun in the twisties than it was stock. Once I have settled on an alignment I like I can use the bar to fine tune the car to my preferences. May or may not work with aftermarket tops. for a bolt-in installation Painted in black for rust protection Works with factory softtop and factory hardtop. AutoPower 4Point Street Roll Bar Toyota MR2 Spider 2000-2005 61031. The change isn't drastic but it is like someone just raised the handling bar another notch or two. The Autopower street roll bar gives your car a performance look with style. The car is certainly less prone to understeer under mid corner acceleration. That limit is easily 5mph higher now and much more safe feeling. I took the car to a few familiar curves that I drive everyday and have learned the cars limit on. With the settings as I have it the car is very neutral. If your soft top is still in good condition then dont cut it up. Its impossible for there to be a true 'bolt-on' solution only utilizing those hard-top points. If you want a roll-bar for autocross purposes you really need it to be totally custom. Btw you will save maybe 20 to 25lbs by gutting the soft top. If by fixed you mean add so much welding youd exceed the cost of getting a legal roll-bar, then yes, thats probably true. Bring the hard top home then cut the soft top later. This makes the car feel more precise and quicker to respond in my opinion.and I love it. To remove the soft top and still use a hardtop you will need to cut the soft top frame with an angle grinder or seawall. Its easier to install and uninstall for going between the track and the road. At speed the car is much flatter when you cut the wheel as expected. Ive also heard good things about the autopower roll bar. The car doesn't ride any stiffer as far as I can tell. I have the front bar at full stiff and the rear bar at the second softest setting.

I dunno please help.Stock rear bar weighed in at 4 lbs. Appearance Modifications Boxster Roll Bar. The offshoot of all the whining last year about the autopower bar on the spyders is that NO roll bar that doesnt meet the safety requirements is legal. Is there somthing I'm missing, am I too short (5'9), are a bunch of people who have never even seen the bar in person just making gross assumptions, will I die. The bar is a solid 6 or 7 inches from the back of the seats and even if I take my seat belt off and wiggle about violently I can't get my head near the bar. If that happens they might hit their head on the diagonal bar, so I put foam on it. The only possibility immediately obvious to me is if the passenger is reclined hard core and you get T boned on the driver's side. I installed the single diagonal hard dog roll bar around 6 months ago and I'm struggling to see how getting your head any where close to hitting they bar is a stretch. I have seen on these forums and also miata forums (wife is a miata fan girl) about how whacking your noodle on a roll bar is a serious concern. The Whiteline rear bar is 18mm and 5 way adjustable. With a single diagonal brace, this bar is SCCA Solo 1 compliant. I just want to open a dialogue on the daily driving safety (no helmet) with the hard dog roll bar. The Spyder bar comes equipped with an integral harness bar and soft top latch bracket. This is my very first post on any forum ever so don't hate me if I messed up where to put it or something (I'm doing my best).
