I've been autocrossing the sk2 for almost 2 years and now i'm ready to put it on the track. the main reason that i haven't put it on the track yet is because the lack of roll bar but now i got one.

i got all these stuff from a guy who parted out his track car. he was close enough that i was able to pick them up.

- Hard Dog roll bar (with removable diagonal and harness bar)
- KW V3 coilovers
- Buddy Club P1 Racing wheels (17x9 +63, 14.5 lbs)
- Nitto NT-O1 tires (255/40 R17) has about 1 track day left on them
- APR GTC-200 wing with spare trunk lid
- Project Kics Neo Cro R40 lug nuts
- Gendron front sway bar (coming soon)

now i just need seats and harness and i'm ready.
will also make some custom brake ducts.

let me know how hard the rollbar install is.

btw i see you have a fender roller for rent, pm'd about something similar

 

removed the Whiteline front sway bar and install the Gendron bar today.
i'm going to start out with the solid bar on stiffest setting.

 

you will be very happy with the kw's

 

looks great!

why did you swap out the whiteline bar? did you not like it anymore?

just curious. I have the whiteline front and rear bars

when i started running on R-comp this year, i was getting inside rear wheel lift. then i got the white line which helped a lot but didn't totally get rid of rear wheel lift. only the Gendron can totally get rid of rear wheel lift, but it also cost 4 times more.

i think the Whiteline is ok for street but not really up to task for autox.

 

good **** man. didnt u use to have megan coilovers? what happened to them?

 

i did have Megan street series and i sold them. they served their purpose but i wanted something with 2 way adjustable and more stiff.

 

looks awesome man... damn how much did you pay for all that stuff at once???

nice purchases...

ohh and if your selling that whiteline bar, ill take it... PM me a price... im located in NJ...

i got a really good deal from the seller because i got most of the stuff from him and he wanted to get rid of the stuff quick, so i don't want to mention the exact price. let's just say that i could have gotten a very nice turbo setup. but i'm happy now that i have the right equipment to put my car on track, which is what i wanted to do since the first day i got the car.

i posted the whiteline bar for sale on s2ki yesterday and just sold it last night. sorry.

and once again ur car is gonna be sick...

 

installed the Hard Dog roll bar over the weekend. it took about 8 hours. the hardest part was cutting the holes because it was hard to position the rotary cutting tool. removing the interior panels wasn't as bad as i remembered it when replacing the soft top, just have to do it in a certain order. i'm not planning on putting the stock roll hops on, but i'll probably try to make some kind of panel to cover it up a little.

Looks Good!

Is it even possible to reinstall the factory roll hoops?

 

the factory roll hoops will fit but you have to trim the plastic cover.
i don't think it will serve any purpose other then cosmetic because the Hard Dog roll bar is higher. i'm going to leave it out to save some weight.

it looks weird w/ the factory hoops in there and the aftermarket bar.


nice work man!

 

some more pics of the bar with interior back in.
you can still have limited access to the secret compartment but i'm probably not going to use the harness bar, so the lid can even open higher without it. i'm going to make custom mount for the harness.
