Chris. Can you tell us how the front arms are mounted to the car? Is it through a plate, or a single bolt through the seat belt mount? Is the engine compartment still accessible?

 

Bump for answers to my questions.

 

I don't mean to make excuses for Chris but I know he is a very busy guy right now. And at the best of times he's rarely found lurking on the forums. I suggest you call the shop tomorrow for the answers you are seeking. I had no trouble reaching him when I phoned there yesterday.

 

Thanks. Been really busy during the daytime, so it's been tough getting the time to make a phone call.

 

Joe, I will try to email him directly with your questions and see what he says.

 

Thanks!

 

Just a friendly reminder to everyone who put their name on the list or who wish to join in the group buy to contact Chris Monday to make arrangements for their individual purchasing needs. You must do this or risk missing out on the discounted pricing. Their phone number is: (203) 730-0311

Joe, I didn't hear back on Friday but hopefully he can be more attentive now that the crunch is done. If I get an email, I will forward. Otherwise, if you have the time, you might try giving him a call tomorrow.

 

FYI, if you've had trouble getting in touch with Chris this week, don't despair. He was incredibly sick, even to the point he had to go to the hospital. He said nobody will lose their spot or pricing due to his illness and absence this week and he will be catching up with everyone soon.

 

Hello Rennlist Members,

Just to let everyone know, we will unveil our 981 GT4 bar in 2 weeks. Stay tuned for updates!

So far I have contact info for 6 of the 11 people committed in the thread.

If you have not yet contacted SST, please call at 203.730.0311 with your name, board name, and email address. Email will be going out ASAP to all people on the list.

Thanks for your patience, it's good to be back and feeling better... let's do this!

Wow the RSS harness bar 1/2 roll bar looks great and provides a perfect in between. Like above I have the concern of how does it address engine access?

 

Thanks Knolow, unlimited engine access from the top and front firewall was a design criteria for both the 950 Lightweight and 951 Hybrid Bars.

 

Hi all,

I was back in the hospital for a bit but it looks like everything is finally going the right direction.

I've just sent out the group buy email to those for whom I have email addresses. Please contact me via PM of phone call to the shop if you did not receive an email.

Single bolt through the seat belt mount as well as the sub plate riser for additional vertical and lateral support. The front cover is thus accessible without the gaping holes that others' bars require you to hack out of your carpet. The rear diagonals are removable for ease of service access to the upper cover.

This is a completely reversible installation with only a small horizontal slit above the level of the plastic "waterfall" between the seats (invisible with the bar removed, the carpet closes right back up) and small crescents trimmed out of part 981.551.433.02.1E0 (the plastic cross piece between the rear strut towers).

Since we have so many 981 builds this year, we may have enough of these items to sell to the group buy participants at a significant discount as a brand new part to install should anyone ever decide to remove their bar. Alternately, you may elect to keep your original part and we will trim the part from a build.

Our bars don't require any other cutting or modification to the interior for installation or removal.

 

Ok guys, bars are being built (and hopefully on their way back soon). The following people have not given their deposits on nor claimed their bars:

-Orthojoe
-Doborder
-Cooperyau
-Smoltz

If you guys still want your bars, you need to call Chris with a deposit ASAP or risk losing your bar. If there are others that did not get orders in, you can put your name down for an unclaimed bar (right now, there are three of them that can be sold for the original group buy price to the first people that contact Chris at Speedsport Tuning (203) 730-0311 and give him a deposit).

Again, no affiliation, just don't want them to lose money because of our group buy. Thanks.
