Robispec Chassis/Harness Bar
 

Robispec (Robi Spec Race Suspensions) in California, makes a great chassis/harness bar. They started manufacturing it because of our interest here on the forum. Just wanted to thank everyone for this, now it is available to us all.

I had a thread here with pictures and a purchase opportunity, but am not a vendor so it was removed... I have no issue with this, but in the interest of sharing a great new idea/product, I wanted to let everyone know.

I don't see the harness bar on the site... Can you PM me a direct link?

I talked to Robi yesterday and e-mail him. I have a red one coming. :tup:

Received, thanks. Rep'd :tup:

When we get these, post some pics... There are not any on the internet except the ones on motoiq

Would this be a stiffer bar to go in place of the factory rear strut tower bar or a totally different item?

Yup... goes in place of the factory bar. It's rigid while the stock one flexes.

Up-dates?

Ordered mine and sent the check... waiting on delivery :)

Sent my check to him on the 3rd. Like you. I'm waiting. :tup:

How much does this actually affect handling?

We'll see... Anything that makes the chassis more rigid should make handling more precise and responsive. I am curious how noticeable it will be. I'll post my impression once I install it.

Robispec emailed me yesterday... said these are starting to ship out on Monday

Same here, don't see it on their site. Link please?

Omg I wanna see this. PM me please the link. Thanks

Sh!t knuckle brown. :yum:


:D

sitll havent heard from them guess there not email inclinded

I e-mailed him first today for an update. And he e-mailed me back. :tup:

Sexy! :happydance:

How do you guys install a harness to retain the OEM seat belts? I'd be happy with a 4-point harness to avoid drilling extra mounting points, but I still need my OEM belts for daily driving.

Maybe give it another try? He's been good about emailing me, maybe he just missed yours... the email I've been using for them is evo4fun@gmail.com

Will do Monday

My bar came today. :tup: Went to take some pictures of it before I install it. The pictures of the bar are pink because of the lighting inside the house. :eek: Have to wait until morning. So I can take the pictures outside.

Looking forward to seeing them :tup:

cdoc.com sells a kit for porsches that should work on our cars. Need the door side adapter and to use the seat mount for the tunnel side.

they sell these eye hooks, remove the bottom left screw on the sealt belt (chassis mounted) and replace with one of these. You can also replace the bolt on the belt latch with one of these (by the transmission tunnel) bolted into the seat (HIGHLY not recommended). We drilled the floor pan 2 holes for 6 point harness, and also drilled into the tranny tunnel.

And use a 4 point with ASM technology like schroth etc...

Sorry I didn't get to include this before. Door Side Harness Mount This is what I was planning on using at for the door side. It comes with all the bushings and things you need to keep the stock functioning properly.

martin's right.. Best way is to drill the floor and trans tunnel for the 6pt harnesses. Most seat mounts have a thing to mount the stock belt receiver to as well which could also be used for the tunnel side lap belt in a pinch.

Could I get the info and pricing on the bar?

Thanks

I got my bar, and installed it. Got pic's of the istall. I'm going to post the pic's and a short how to on the install. Can't do that intil my desk top PC is fixed. Have a bad card in it. It also has my pictures in it too. :mad: For now, I'm using my work computer.

Did you happen to ask about adding loops for harnesses?

Nope.. My harness is the bolt in type. So I am going to get the bar un-finished and have nuts welded on to it.

Going to have that done locally.

Just give them a call. Super nice people

Robi is a nice guy. I had some questions. So I fired off an e-mail to him. He answered it in about 10 minutes of me sending it. We sent back and forth about 10 e-mails in the space of about 45 minutes. He answered everything. :tiphat:

Had to call to get mine shipped, but it's on the way finally.
