I don't think you should be doing all this work if you can't build a proper sentience.

I really didn't understand what you want to do. Are you trying to modify the stock roll bar? I'm pretty sure the stock one does its job considering its been tested by Honda. If you have a aftermarket one like hard dog or one for show like cusco... just leave it.

I hope you know that cusco cage isnt approved for anything but hard parking and with how you modified it, I would trust it less. I'm not trying to be a dick but this is your life you are putting on the line. The hard dog is around 600 dollars and is well worth it.

agreed... that one tab holding on the rear bars just looks severely unsafe, instead of having 1 giant bar flying around in a accident... you can have 3!

umm the way your wording this, makes it sound like you are fine with knowing you could have a giant bar flying around you in the event of a roll over. your oem bars would hold, yes... but your custom bars could be headed towards anywhere, including your head or another car!

safety is not something to be cheap about, if you really cant afford a proper roll bar, then you probably shouldn't be out there.

To be honest, for autocross you really dont NEED one, but because you want one so bad, everyone will reccommend the harddog piece. I'm 6'4" and the best thing I did to help with cockpit clearance issues in get a lower seat rail.

I hate the fact S2000's have come down in price and **** like this happens.......

OP, your "roll bar" is not certified or allowed at any half-decent track. It is not a Cusco, but is a Cusco/Safety21 knock off which makes it even worse.

https://honda-tech.com/forums/road-racing-autocross-time-attack-19/cusco-roll-cage-1788507/

I suggest you stop ****ing up your car.

You're whole "I'm not looking for the safest roll bar" is absolutely asinine - the whole purpose of putting a roll bar in the vehicle for track purposes is for it to be safer. Why do you think tracks require something more than stock roll hoops?

i want to say something ********-ish and be an ***, but i am at an absolute loss for words for something that is this idiotic...the best place for the "roll bar" is the garbage, because i doubt even a scrap yard would give you money for that piece of ****

I've never even herd of S2000s rolling over. besides the one that rolled down the hill and had the Cusco cage that broke and hit the guy in the head. You dont know what you are doing and could have a bar brake off and smash into your skull. I dont even think the cusco would hold up to the weight of the car.

ahhh... christ.

first, i honestly would just take that bar out, sell it on ebay, and buy a harddog. As far as fitting issues, but a kirkley racing seat.. very thin, and low.. saves tons of room.

you won't be allowed on most tracks in a hpde, and i doubt your actually doing scca events, auto-x they will let anything in.. but this is just going to snap if you roll over and make peoples job harder to rescue you.

and i hate to comment on anther persons style.. but christ man.. you made a s2000 look like a 89 crx in a trailer park. I would ditch the multi colored rims, ditch the goofy sticker..

rock.
as long as your having fun, but don't forget common sense and saftey
