[QUOTE=WyattH,Oct 15 2008, 04:49 PM] As are rollbars that aren't proven/certified to hold up in a... roll.

 

Looks like they held up pretty well in that rollover! Good to know..

 

I'm not saying the rollbar is going to make the car LESS safe. I'm just saying they aren't certified for track use for a reason.

It does look like they helped Lee, but I can't tell for certain - pictures are small, blurry, and don't show different angles.
But, you can't say the stock window frame and OEM roll bars failed, either...

I didn't know he crashed.

But wow, we've gone off topic. To each their own on modifications!

 

cusco roll cage is awesome!!

 

Lee was wise to have a roll bar and not a roll cage for his street car. Had he had a cusco cage in that car is head would have taken a potentially fatal beating on the way down.

On another note, the roll bar did do its job.

 

^ good point.

The guy 2 posts up reiterates my point for me that for mods to be approved, they requires $. Note he didn't say "roll bars/cages are cool!", he said "cusco cages are awesome!"... why not a custom fabbed, welded, and frame-bolted cage made by an engineer? oh, that's right... it's cheap and isn't blue. But hey, looks the same and does the same job... Just like vented hoods.

To each their own.

 

whoah! you know i'm seattle local. let's slap box about it if we ever meet up!! lol.

my comment was totally ligh-spirited. not trying to put anyone down or start anything. t

and that rollover crash was exactly the instance i was referring to, there are a few more though.

 

Next time I head to Seattle, I'm going to kick your ass for disagreeing with me!!!




Really, I didn't have any emotion invested into this discussion. Afterall, that's what it was.. a discussion.

My panties weren't twisted.

 

FTR, Lee's car did not roll over when he went off and he did suffer a head injury (concussion) from hitting his head on his roll bar.

I was 3 cars behind him...

 

Really, so was i
