Default Roll bar...where can I get it?

I'm a noobie in this. What's a good? I don't want to do too much drilling. Just need one that i can put on for track events and that's track approve.

Thanks

There is NO good solution available for a roll bar that you can put on for track events and take off for street use. If you want to install one more-or-less permanently, your options are pretty much "custom made" or the Elda Engineering design. (Is Go-Fast Lab selling these yet?)

The Elda bar is still in limbo last I checked. I think Wael is getting them checked with new SCCA regulations?

Sorry, I'm not too keen on SCCA rules but I think the dispute was something about no longer having a Solo I class and time trial requirements. I'm sure one of the regular autocrossers could answer your question better.

The plans for the ELDA bar are set and production should begin shortly by Go Fast Lab. (I saw the final plans a few weeks ago) I believe they're still deciding whether or not to make the cross member removable as this requires a lot of extra time and work (not to mention expense) to do the custom machining for each individual bar setup.

JP... Rylan... any updates?

I'm sure the wait shouldn't be too much longer.

I too would love to know exactly why the old Elda had to be changed to meet new rules.

They haven't actually made any of the V2 bars yet, nor said what has changed.

The basic design of the bar hasn't changed. Most of the changes that were going to be made involved manufacturing processes and tolerances. Now that we're going to be making it, there might indeed be some design changes if we find them to be necessary.

SCCA is a strange outfit to deal with; I'm going to leave it at that.
