jevansio Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Does anyone think it is possible (and more importantly safe) if a side impact bar were to be welded to the shell of the car which came from behind the seat down to the ankle area? I would like to go with the carbon/fg doors but don't want a full cage which would negate the weight savings I am after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Sounds like you are keeping the supra:cool: Myself, id not bother with the bar, id fit the carbon doors and not worry about the side impact, i am rather silly though. Nur motorsport does carbon doors and fibreglass ones, Noel has them on his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much agree with JP, if you had a stock seat that welded in bar would prob do far more harm than good when you slide out of your seat and your hip smashes into it.

I got Recaro Profi seat but I guess the same still applies, that bar could still do damage as the seat is only fibreglass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose when you put it like that, I'm going to do a little to make it as safe a possible, but I need them if I'm going to get into the 12xx kg range Jay you little tinker lol. Back to the real world I see. Why don't you just come up and help me mod mine. Be much easier. On my way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 You've finally seen sense man! You'll start modding her again and any stupid thoughts of getting rid will soon go away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
