Looking for someone to install AGI bar
Hi,
Just bought an AGI rollcage for my NA and was wondering if anyone would be able to install it for me at a reasonable price?
Im located in Sydney (2161)

Re: Looking for someone to install AGI bar
AGI can do it. Do they charge a greater hourly rate than any other workshop? Would they take any longer? Would they do the best job?

Re: Looking for someone to install AGI bar
They seem pretty expensive to get it installed though - No interior trim modification fitting 'only' $280.
Just seeing if there is anyone out there that has experience in fitting one and is cheaper.

Re: Looking for someone to install AGI bar
Honestly $280 seems pretty cheap. If it's anything like the MX5+ bar, that took me the better part of a day to figure out, but presumably they know what they are doing.
However, do have a go at the DIY route if you've got even an ounce of mechanical competence. A second person would definitely help for maneuvering the bar, but everything else should be doable for a relative novice.

Go to AGI for 280! Having installed one of those myself before, 280 sounds pretty good

Actually, +1 for have a go yourself. The only difficult bit is getting the vertical holes in the right spot top and bottom.

Re: Looking for someone to install AGI bar
If you genuinely don't think you can do it, I'd say just head to AGI. $280 is a good price to install a roll bar.
Do you own/are you clever enough to work a screw driver, ratchet and socket, and a drill though? Because if you can handle those three tools, you can do it yourself.
Edit: There probably are instructions somewhere. Maybe AGI would give them to you if you asked nicely. If not, I'm sure someone here has them.

Re: Looking for someone to install AGI bar
$280 is a bargain. That's only 2.5 hours of labour. That's a quick install and I really doubt you'll find someone who can do it faster.

Never put the top up unless the storm has a name.

Re: Looking for someone to install AGI bar
Im going to be honest here.
You cannot do it.
Its a prick of a job that requires 2 people, and you dont want to try it with a noob.
If you need instructions for this kind of thing you probably dont want to even attempt it.
Just pay.

Re: Looking for someone to install AGI bar
Instructions would helpful, but anyway I'd probably get it done by agi next week.
Only reason for this post was to see if anyone else wanted to do it at a lower price, so I didnt have to pay $280, which to some of you may not be much, but is alot to me
Anywho, thanks everyone!
