Found this in the gallery. Anyone know if this is a CSX spec car? And how's that for effective-but-ugly rollbars?

The correct look is 1 hoop behide the driver, but like some said if you ever want to have a passenger in your car on the track you need daul hops. That is the reason I have 2 on mine, didnt really ever like the look but it has grown on me. And as for CSX3183 thinking everone that has 2 is a girly man bite me Just kiding [IMG]  [/IMG]

If your a purist and your goal is to try and replicate an original as much as possible, then a single hoop or no hoop is for you.
Likely the average person on the street would think a full width bar or dual bars is more symetrical. In my opinion it's also safer when done properly.
Same discussion could be had about low back vs high back seats, original carbed FE's vs modern small block efi engines, pin drive wheels vs standard bolt-on's, twin Paxtons vs twin-turbos (hah).
It's all good. Build your car to please yourself, not others. There will always be critics, including those that will look down on any replica.
Cheers.

My gear.

If you were a purist wouldn't you buy an original Shelby Cobra? |

Yep, helps feed a little cooler air right at the turbo intakes. Cheers. |

I see why you sign 'cheers' all the time-you're having a lot of good cheer.
Carry on mate.

 Purists will choose single roll bar, Safety conscious would choose twin. My car has a single wide bar that protects both driver and passenger, I love it.
My personal taste and opinion.

Who woulda thunk it that Rodknock doesn't love his wife and patrickt does?
(Pesky rollbars and the statement they make!  )

No, not only do I not love RodKnock's wife, I don't think I've ever even met her.  |

patrickt, if you do ever steal Rodknock's wife, we'll be watching your passenger rollbar...

I can neither confirm or deny that I have a wife. But if I did, and I loved her, then the Cobra would be the last car that I'd drive around with her in it. I'd think even an 1st Gen Miata would be far safer for her as a passenger.  |
