The Atlanta Boxster Club is going to try and rent VIR for a DE and the track requires at least a 2" broom stick clearance, the dreded Broom stick test -- I an un sure if that is possible in the stock S2000.

I was wondering if anyone has designed a roll bar extension there is such a thing for the Boxster and I was wondering if there was one for the S2000 -- I wan to make sure I have a good group before we pay the deposit and rent the track.

Thanks in advance!

I'm 5' 9" and with a helmet on I don't even clear the stick let alone 2 ". For the time trail events I'm going with the top up and scrunch real far down and hope that don't notice. Our local PCA requires the open and soft-top units to just clear the stick to qualify. My first trial literally and figuratively is this weekend and we'll see if I qualify.

It's a problem I wish we could rectify without the bother of a full roll cage. I for one don't see how a roll bar extension can both meet the 2" rule and allow for the top to operate. Doesn't seem like there is enough room.

Good luck.

 

there is not a company doing this for the S2000? Sounds to me like someone could make some $

this divice will allow the boxster to pass the dreded broom stick test -- I am sure that someone could do the same for the S2000... IMO

 

We will have something similar to show in Asheville.

 

can you give more details now or is it just top secert till then?

Thanks I hope it works in helping with the Broom Stick test

SMH Atlanta;no secret,but I dont know how to post pictures.
Search on roll bars and you will find pictures.

 

The Cusco doesn't appear to be an easily installable/removable roll bar.

But I really like those Boxter rollbar extensions that BKauto makes. They look like they could be installed/uninstalled in just a few minutes.



Giampiero, any plans to offer something similar?

 

they do install/uninstall in 10 mins. Flat!

It might not be easily removable,but its effective.

 

I'm comfortable with the stock hoops, but many of us need something to satisfy the track-nannys.

It would have to be easily installable and removable without tearing up the interior. With more tracks dis-allowing the S2000 due to the low hoops, I think a bar like the BKauto Boxter one would be quite popular.



A full-time bar like this Cusco is just not an option for most owners. It's just too ascetically challenged.
