New RSS 4PT. Bolt-In Rollbar Installed
 
RSS has recently introduced our new 4PT. bolt-in rollbar that mounts to the floor (with included under plates) and rear shock towers.

Here are a few pics of one installed in fellow forum member's (avi8tir) beautiful White 997.2 GT3.

The fit and finish are excellent, and the unit is offered powder coated in Black, White, Orange, Green, Red, Grey or any custom color you desire.

Feel free to contact us with any questions, we also have a new 6PT. Rollcage available with front extensions as well.

Custom upholstered Recaro seats, harnesses and a few other goodies coming next....

Nice looking bar, looks great Avi8tir!

great job bryan. it looks better in the car than when i saw it during construction (painted and wrapped by a gt3 now).

rwgrif Feb 15, 2010 06:29 PM

Dammit! Something else I gotta buy.....
 
I like it! How does it affect the sport buckets? Does it limit how far the seats go aft?

Hi Alan, hope you had a great weekend - thanks for the comments, bar came out very nice.

Thanks rwgrif, it doesn't effect the current seats at all. The seat can be moved just about all the way back when in the upright position. Depending on your driving position and how reclined the seat back is, you should not encounter any issues. Now if you drive like your cruising a Cadillac all "reclined back" style - you might have an issue:). Avi8tir is quite tall (6'3 I believe) and this bar seems perfect for his GT3 and his driving position while still being comfortable.

Sport Buckets don't recline at all. I see the harness bar part on the drivers side has a curve back but will the passenger seat be restricted? I'm imagining wifey ramming the seat back into the roll bar....:p:p:p

Sorry for the confusion rwgrif, I assumed you were speaking of the seats currently in the car. In regards to the Factory Porsche CF Backed Sport Bucket Seats, we run those in our shop 2010 GT3 and are installing the 6 pt. cage in it that is very similar to the 4 pt. - no issues at all. In regards to the passenger side, the seat can be moved almost all the way back but not quite.... we have some thin padding on the bar behind the passenger seat just for the "woman" factor....:)

Awesome.

Pics of 6 pt bar installed ASAP please? Expected to fit 2010 RS as well I presume?

RSS Roll Bar
 
Bryan,
this really looks nice...I will ring you when my car goes into prod.

GTEE3 Feb 15, 2010 08:07 PM

Bryan,
what is the weight of the roll bar? just the rear, not the full cage.
Thanks

I must give more props to the guys at RSS for this one. 2 factors came into play with my needs for a roll bar:
1) I am 6'3"+
2) I have the Adaptive Seats which are slightly wider than the sport buckets and even the standard seats, I believe (other roll bar designs only allow the adaptive seats to be moved back about 3/4 of the way)

RSS really worked with me to get this thing perfect, and it is! I have full range of motion on the drivers side, and plenty of room to be comfortable on the passenger side.

Thanks sayboy - much appreciated.
Yes the 6 Pt. will fit the 2010 RS.
We are in the process of doing some upgrades on our 2010 GT3 including carbon kevlar 1" wider fenders with air extractor vents, and some other select mods.
Once we get the rollcage installed, I will post images ASAP.
Here is a quick pic of a blue 6 Pt. rollcage for a 997.2 GT3 that is being shipped to Asia, we will do the same cage in bronze on our car.... Stay tuned.

Thanks GTEE3, congrats on your new car - look forward to hearing from you. We're at your service when you're ready. The 4 Pt. weighs in at around 37 lbs.

Thanks avi8tir, it's always a pleasure to see you and work on your GT3. I'm glad you're happy, the bar really came out nicely, we appreciate your business!

Could you post some more pics of how the cae is installed on the floor of the car?

I would like to see how the carpet is cut.

Also is there any noises like creaking and pinging from the bar?

10GT3 Feb 17, 2010 09:46 AM

bryan/mike
you need to show up close photos of the unique and might i say extremely strong attach points for the cage. this feature is unlike any other bar i have seen and should make your bar the safest out there. great concept.
