ACG W204 Roll Bar coming to a dealer near you!

Greeting Guys,

We've gotten a few request and with many of you guys running well below 11.49 sec passes we've decided to start our W204 Roll Bar project. Our Roll Bar will be Tig welded with 1.75x.120 chromoly, utilizing interlocking tube Clamps to allow you to remove the harness bar, and cross member bar. Our intent is to offer an affordable, non invasive to your interior roll Bar.

I just wanted to post in here, and let you guys know what we're working on. Let me know if there is any interest.

Pictures of our R35 GTR Roll Bar




Photos of the tube clamps that we use to keep the piping seamless



Let me know your thoughts.

Very cool!

Will it be NHRA legal? -> http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w...legal_roll_bar

I don't see a side-bar.

According to the rule book you need a 5-pt bar for under 11.50 ET.

You need a full-blown cage to go under 10.00 ET or over 135 MPH.

Sun, that's the plan... I'll PM you once we finish the W204 roll Bar.

Our GTR Roll Bar was built for FIA / Time Attack / SCCA Events

the W204 Cage will be built to all NHRA safety standards, which will also pass FIA

This is going to be awesome! Can't wait! Maybe I'll need the rest of the "cage" before the end of the year.

Thanks for clarifying. The GT-R bar photos threw me off.
Will the side-bar be swing-out or fixed?

<off topic> Did my wheels ship? </off topic>
