Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, now i want to track my car. Problem is, i have a cab. I want to take it out and run it on the track, but they all say i need a roll bar. I have the pop up units, that are hidden unless explore how my car handles upside down. Now, one of the sites says my car would be ok if i can lock them in the UP position. Any help on this?

POST 2Original post

We just had a discussion today about this problem and here is what we found out: To check the "broomstick" rule with 996 cabs...DO NOT pop the roll hoop..instead place a block of wood or foam about 5.5 inches in height at the back window area. Place broomstick on top of the block and top of windshield. The helmeted head should be below this "line". All tops should be run in the UP position for they are part of the factory supplied roll over protection..and they keep hands in and debris out.. If you pass the broomstick test you are in, if not, you will need to find a rool bar. Good Luck Jim

POST 3Original post

i dont think the popup bars will fullfill the broomstick test with a helmet on you can always get the tequipment bar, MUCH easier to install on a cabriolet. http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/me..._Code=996sport

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can that roll bar system be installed without adding additional holes or drilling?

POST 5Original post

yes it attaches to the seat belt attachment points it is an OEM part. made by porsche and doesnt require and invasive drilling/etc

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

And the last question for the night, does the top operate if the system is installed? Just curious...

POST 7Original post

yes, this is specifically designed for the 996 coupes and cabs, and made BY porsche. the top works fine, a hardtop should fit no problem also.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks moogle, just got an answer from a track group as well, saying that i dont need to install the roll system, that the pop up is fine for this event. Thanks, i will be placing a order as soon as the tax man leaveth!

POST 9Original post

Thanks for the info, Tom. DAS also makes one that I was thinking about getting, see: http://www.cdoc.com/detail.asp?id=7066&name=# It's about $50 cheaper, BUT 1) you have to drill holes into the floor, and 2) you don't have that Tequipment/OEM label and confidence. So I think the one you posted is a better choice. =Carlos=

POST 10Original post

Where are you planning to track your car. I have had the same problem trying to find a place to take my cab out for a track day. Kris

POST 11Original post

group buy???? I have been thinking about getting the tequipment bar as I have the gt3 seats in a coupe which make the rear useless now!!! Also that Das requires you to drill into the bottom of the car

POST 12Original post

Which ever bar you get , make sure it doesn't restrict seat travel, if you are tall, can be a problem..
