Roll bar question
Posted: Sat Sep 02, 2017 1:19 am
Hi all... Back again with another question, please:
Tonight I inadvertently re-tinted my seats, dash, window tint, and even roof, brown. I had the old girl out and opened her up on a straight, looong, divided highway. I took it up from about 40 to 90mph in a few seconds and then I realized I was coming up on something pretty fast (wasn't, just a shadow on the road - Fox headlights are garbage, even new) so I let off the gas, and down-shifted. (I know, I know... ) Even with the 3.27 gears the motor screamed and the car started to slide at like 80mph. It felt like an eternity in that slide but was probably no more than 1/2 second. Regardless, I literally saw my life flash before my eyes when the car snapped back straight like a rattle snake. I drove home very gingerly. That was 2 hours ago and I'm still queasy.
I need to put a roll bar in this thing. I am seriously freaked out. I looked online and there are a dozen types. I'd prefer a 4-point of something I don't have to hop over every time I get in, but if that's the way to go, that's the way to go.
Any recommendations on a roll bar? And some all-purpose cleaner?
Thanks all.
