Question for you. I plan to daily and track the car for some fun on the weekends. I'm about 6ft tall and I'm worried with a helmet on I won't pass the broomstick test with the original rollbars. I was looking to get the roll bar extension to run with PCA HPDE's, but I'm not sure that the extra 1 3/4" it provides is enough for the broomstick test either since you need 2" clearance from the rollbar to your helmet.
Can anyone calm my nerves before I take the leap on buying? Has anyone had any experience with this? Thanks very much all! Cheers!  |
I have a Boxster S street/track car. I'm 6', you should plan on getting the Brey-Kraus.
Might depend on your torso to leg ratio -- but I'm 6' and I would not pass a broomstick test.
I have a brey-kraus roll bar extender and pads -- 15min install time max.
If you plan to run BMW -- nobody can pass their broom stick test and see
over the dash. I pulled my seats completely and tested it -- if my eyes were
above the dash -- I failed their broomstick test -- which is to the front strut,
not the windshield like PCA does it.
All that being said -- it's my favorite track car -- you'll love it.
I'd also consider getting a 1/2qt sump extension and baffle kit.
