That's more or less what I'm thinking of right now. I'm just considering whether to go with a cage rather than a bar.
You can try both if/when you come by my house. I have the TC-Design cage in the racecar and the Elda bar in the white car. Would you prefer to try the rollbar with the stock seat or Recaro SPG (or both)?

Meaning you can put either one in? Whichever is in would be fine, no need to go swapping things. Depending on how small the race seat is, I might not fit anyway.
Hmm. I really have to make sure that I can get over there and take a look. Sounds like your cars can tell me a lot more about this than a zillion posted messages.
Stock seat is in the white car and an SPG in the racecar. I have another SPG for the white car we can swap in also (if you fit in the one in the racecar) to check head clearance with the Elda. You'll also get to see what it's like getting in and out over the X-style door brace for the cage.
You can drive around the block to see what JRZ's with 750 lb springs feel like also .
Driving a car with a roll-cage on the street without a helmet for any amount of time, is absolutely unacceptable. If safety is of any concern, under no circumstances should you consider this as a viable option.
Of course you are fully aware of this, and the risks to your noggin involved, but without a trailer, you are setting yourself up for a potentially devastating scenario that can be avoided.
IMO, you would be better served with a welded in roll-bar similar to mine and Ry's previously. That way when you are ready to take the plunge with a full-cage+trailer+rig, you will only have to complete the front section.
I don't know about you, but wearing a helmet for an extra 4-6 hours is quite fatiguing on the neck muscles. Not sure how close you like to the venues. Hopefully you have a padded neck brace.
