Hey for all you Turbo and Non-Turbo Cab owners what do you guys think about installing the Porsche Techequipment Roll Bar?

You would have to take out the back seats but since we don't have a roof the install besides the removal of the rear seats and seat belts should be pretty easy.

My main concern is roll over protection and even though the TT Cab does have the "emergency" roll over protection bars that "pop" up from the back when the computer "feels" the car is about to roll over I would still feel more comfortable with the additional protection.

I've had opinions that go both ways. Some folks think that the car would look silly. Others say they like the look. I'd like to get your views.

Thanks!

I have a coupe and I am having mine installed this week.

 

We have a Turbo Cab. in the shop right now that will be getting a rollbar tomorrow morning. I would be happy to take pictures for you!!

Evan,

That would be great!

Thanks!

Take pics please!!

 

I know someone with the tech rollbar in a cab and it looks nice, not bad at all like some do look in cabs.

 

Here is a picture of mine.

 

I would contact Hans racecraft to inquire about a custom Roll cage, they do really nice work, and have some of the nicest welds I have seen.

looks sweet!

so with the roll bars, will they allow cabs on the track?

 

Anthony,

They might, but I would suggest a full roll cage if you're thinking about tracking your TT-Cab. I'm more interested in basic roll over safety for day to day driving/racing of the local roads.

Not that I speed or break any vehicle code laws!

Jay,

Would you please post some picks of your cab from the sides, front and back so we can get a better idea of what the overall car looks like. By the way, nice camera mount!!

~Rob

 

The bar is going in as we speak here, I should have pics in a couple hours.
Evan

 

NEVER drive a car with a full cage on the street. The danger of hitting your head without a helmet on the cage is much greater than the potential safety from rollovers.

Anthony,

You hear that? Dude you better get helmet!!




Evan,

Where are the pics dude?!

 

Tech is getting there...I didn't realize he had more stuff to do on the interior first (SSK, and Pedals), and he was just out at lunch. He should have it in somtime soon...I promise pics by the end of the day!!
