My 1st mod was a roll bar in mine. Now I want to upgrade from the Autopower Street bar to something taller!

Anyone have a used roll bar F/S?

Tall people fit just fine in Miatas. There is plenty of room in the cockpit, you just need to find it. Lowered steering column, modified drag-racing seat, Autopower rollbar, SFI padding/leather cover.
I'm 6'4" and 250lbs... enough said.

Sam you are right about having room in the miata. I am 6'5 and for some reason I feel like I have more room in the miata than my honda accord. My knees always hit the dash in the accord, where as the miata fits 'snug'. I do need to get a roll bar though, reason #1237 sold me.

Just look at the pics from the Hard Dog website. They're pretty convincing.

the roll bar is nice and all, but you'll still grind your face off.

I see Shiv Pathak's "Frankenstein" in the above photos; Shiv walked away after his "guest" driver rolled Shiv's car at approx 80 mph. But...Shiv had some hellacious lacerations on his head and migraines for months.

I don't see MarkP's '99 in the above photos. Bethany Garage had the photo of Mark's car on the website for years. Mark told me the crash was a low-speed rollover but he was quite happy to crawl out from underneath.

I've only rolled one vehicle in my life (fell asleep returning home on a long road trip just three miles or so from home) and have absolutely no desire to do so again; I remember watching the ground slide by my face inches away at a too-high rate of speed. For years I've have a rollbar in my Miata (with SFI padding).

Remember, keep the shiny side up.

I need a cage.

When was the last time you drove your car.....?

When's the next time you WILL drive your car....?

I suggest addressing those two issues before worrying about a cage :giggle:

Why don't you die already you pathetic fucking piece of shit? Don't you have anything better to do than follow me around and talk shit on every post I write? You're just another guy who lives far away and finds it easy to talk shit online. You will be the first bitch to get slapped to death. do you know how long that will take. DAYS motherfucker. i will have to tie you up and slap you until your tears drown your fuckin ass. motherfucker.

WOOT!! I brought the real Hustler back out of Hustler, how'd it feel?

I mean, oh shit, please don't I'm sorry Hustler.

Look how low you are sitting in the car though. I cant even see your shoulders.
I'd need to sit at least 2 inches lower to be totally safe, and thats going to make getting in and out of the car even more difficult for me.

What I will do is just get the HT bar so its further back, and just incline the seat up a bit.
