I helped my friend(redSthirteen) install an AutoPower RollBar on his s13 the other day and i took enough pictures to post the install process.

tools:
14mm socket
14mm open wrench
drill (make sure the battery is fully charged!..LoL)
100mm hole saw
jack and jack stand
silicone sealer

install time: id say about 3-5 hours. it took us alil longer because we had to sit around and let the battery charge for the drill.

remove front and rear seats...

now slide the rollbar inside and dry fit it....

we had to get alil creative due to lack of tools and use a screwdriver to determine where to drill the hole in the rear panel...LoL

now drill the holes and install the mounting bolts...

make sure you put some sort of silicone sealer around the bolt holes between the plates to prevent water leakage.

now put back everything that you removed and youre done!...

and they said no one could sit in the back.....LoL

we took it for a test drive and the difference was like night and day.

thats all for now.
watch out for this car when youre out on the backroads..
