Bolt in Harness Bar Project Underway
Bolt in Harness Bar Project Underway
We have had so much success with our Agency Power bolt in roll/harness bar for the 996/997 that we decided it was time to make one for the 991. The 996/997 bar nicely fit all models of the chassis including the Carrera, Turbo, GT3, GT2. So we are gambling that this 991 version will be the same. What we did to be different is provide removable diagonal and horizontal bars in the center of the loop. This allowed for easy removal to access/utilize the space behind the rear seats. Since this piece is really for the weekend racer who wants to use harness, it was important to make it functional for the daily driver. So how could we make the 991 bar different?
On the 996/997 bar, you had to remove the front seats to install it. Though we made it slightly lower to accomondate sunroof models, the chance of scratching something on install was prevalent. So we are making this 991 harness/roll bar even more user efficient. Having created similar items via Agency Power for the new Focus ST and Scion FR-S using this design, it allows for a super easy install or quick removal. The top hoop is connected to the b-pillars with a slip fit design and quick release pins. Using the lower seat belt mount on the b-pillar with a stout steel bracket, this allows for the seat to be position and reclined far back to accomondate up to a 6'3 driver. Also this design allows for regular Fedex shipping to save the customer on cost.
Here are some of the build pictures. This is a rough prototype. We will keep this thread updated with progress. If you are looking for a FULL roll cage, this is not the product for you. This is a great item for the weekend DE driver wanting to have alittle fun.

Just got the cages back in gloss white and black to test out. We have some studio shots of the black one as we well as the shot of it disassembled for easy shipping. The complete bolt in went in really nice and we are really pumped for this part to offer to 991 customers. The roll bar is ideal for weekend track uses, wrapping harnesses, and getting that GT3 look

Would you consider this as a DIY install/removal? I would love to have a harness bar for the weekend DE's, but still want access to backseats to take my kids for a ride, would that be possible with this harness bar?

Your probably saying to yourself, "where oh where can I get a roll bar for my Porsche 991?" Or you might be saying, "man I need to sell a body part to get this Porsche 991!" Eitherway, your gonna be stoked to just look at how this customers 2013 Porsche 991 Carrera S came out from the crew here at Vivid Racing. Getting equipped with Agency Power X-Pipe exhaust and cold air intake, this customer let us make a all new bolt-in roll bar | harness bar for the car.
Having had a very successful run at making bolt-in roll bars to replace the discontinued Porsche Tequipment bars, the Agency Power 996/997 product needed to evolve to the 991 platform. Considered a harness bar, the bolt-in unit gives the driver something to secure their racing harnesses to for track days while giving that GT3 race look. What makes the other roll bars for the previous generation hard to sell is the shipping. Since they are all 1 piece with just removable harness and diagonal bars, they have to ship on a pallet via truck freight. Domestically this can cost up to $300 and international shipping can be thousands! Diversifying this product, we made the all 1818 steel tube bolt-in bar to have extremely strong slip fit connections.
This product can now be installed without the removal of your seats, worrying about damaging your interior, and it ships regular at an affordable cost. With the material and design, it is still very safe and provides the functionality and look 991 owners need. This is a great add on product for weekend DE drivers.
In addition the Agency Power goodies, we also equipped the car with a set of H&R sport springs that work with the factory PASM suspension. The springs drop the car about 1.0 inches front and rear. Pushing the wheels out is a fresh set of H&R black spacers featuring a 7mm up front and a 14mm in the rear. Final touch is done with the H&R black lug bolts.
