Hey all you NSX racers out there, I have a question.
I've been having Autowave modify my car over the last month and a half, putting on the Comptech suspension with the adjustable sway bars, Brembo slotted rotors, Hawk Street/race pads, SS brake lines, RPS Clutch and Lightweight Flywheel, Comptech Headers, Taitec Exhaust, Cantrell AIS, etc., etc., but the question is . . .
I've put in Racetech Kevlar seats with the new SOS harness bars and the Sparco 5 pt harnesses. One of my racer buddies tells me I'm asking for trouble going racing without a roll bar with race seats. He says that if I roll the car, (God forbid !), that there is NO way you can bend over and your head takes the brunt of the rollover. Other people say that there are no roll bars (for street/track) that work with the NSX, since the NSX is all aluminum there is no way to weld in a roll bar and it has to be custom made to bolt in.
Other people say the coupe's roof is so strong, there is no reason to worry and the NSX rollovers they've seen there is no intrusion into the passenger compartment.
Any opinions? What do you other guys who street / race your NSX's do?
I just hope I haven't made a big mistake going with the race seats.
