I am in the planning stages for my six track car. I plan on running TT with PCA, maybe trackmasters. I don't think I will be doing any wheel to wheel, but do I need that diagonal bar? I will have a full cage. My big concern is how far forward it pushes the passenger seat?

On my car, 4-5 inches. It only slides back a few clicks from the front now, probably not even halfway.

Do your passengers feel cramped?

It's not street legal. They mostly just feel the warm lump in their drawers.

Andy,
I just took one of our main hoop assemblies and positioned it in a customer's car that has the backpad removed right now. With the passenger seat in its lowest tilt angle, it can be moved 7 clicks back from its furthest forward position to where it hits the rollcage. Using a tape measure I can see that the forward edge of the seat adjuster handle is 6" ahead of the crossmember when the seat is just touching the rollcage diagonal. |
