I've seen them on www.eclipseclub.com but the site is currently under construction. Something around $400-$500 I believe. That's alot of money for a non-functional roll-bar if you ask me....

I have seen one and I am actually making one for my Spyder this winter. I will make a FAQ on it while we make it so anyone can get info from theré and make their own.

How's a rollbar non-functional???

I have to get one in my spyder this winter because I'm approaching the 13's. Anything that's a sub-14 time requires a rollbar in a spyder.

I really don't understand how a rollbar is non-functional...

Here is a pic of my frineds roll bar in his spyder.

Ray, that's Mark Purney's spyder right?

It's currently the fastest FWD Spyder time submitted.

12.6 @ 111 or something like that.

Here I COME!!!

 

[Dsmed]

Yeah thats Marks Spyder.

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

The reason one could not be functional is have you ever seen the APC show-cages. Those are just for show.

Here John, go ahead and drool. Here is a shot of Marks motor. This was at one of our Cleveland DSM meets at Quaker Steak & Lube over the summer before the weather got cold.

Not every rollbar, just the only one which has ever been marketed for the Spyder. Don't believe me? Ask the company that makes it yourself. They are for show and provide no additional structural support. This disclaimer has also been provided along with the product description on most sites which offer it. Now a custom rollbar, on the other-hand, I'm sure could somehow be built to be functional. But I do believe that the original poster and I were referring to the marketed version. Sorry you got confused and felt the need to correct me so quickly.

Well, espydur/nikita/nvs/Johnny5...need I go on?

You're a tool, a troll, an idiot. I have no respect for you. I am making my own rollcage, much cheaper and funner. Why don't you find another board to lurk on?

Say what? I think you're confused bro. How am I a troll?

Awwww, did I prove you wrong??? Boo hoo. What are you gonna build that "roll cage" out of? Your Erector set?

 

[boostindoo]

thanks a lot for all of the replies. i dont know if the one im talking about is the same u guys are talking about. the one im looking for looks like the ones on the mustangs, they just go across the car right above the area between the front and rear seats. i want the one that has a led in it. it doesnt look like that red spyder's at all, just the top bar. thanks a lot anyways.

That would be the one I was referring to. Not bad, just a little pricey for my taste.

 

[cucumber]

That looks like a soundbar. Now that thing is pointless.

I agree with you on that one espydur, I thought you were referring to a real rollbar, which that is NOT.

 

[boostindoo]

yeah, thats exactly what im talking about. thanks a bunch, knew u guys could help.

 

[MitsuReaper]

Incase anyone cares. I made a FAQ on building your own Roll bar for under $50.00

I am still making the Web page and Uploading the pics though.
