i think the monkey bars are just for show and not made for safety purposes.

How are you planning on rolliing your civic? I would think it would be pretty hard to roll one.
If you want to roll something go get an suv.
I know for a fact they roll pretty easily

Monkey Bars.??? Aren't they made buy that company that makes the MadSkillz Short Shifters..

Actually it's easier to roll a civic than you might think. I don't have the links to them, but someone posted some pictures of a civic that rolled on a racetrack. If anyone knows where these are, please post them again or post the links.

OMG this topic was just posted as a joke on the kills forum. You can't be serious!?

I have a friend that rolled his hatch doing autocross and i personally saw my friend roll his vw gti doing autocross as well. It's not at hard as one would imagine. I too would like to invest in a roll cage, not only for protection but looks as well. I heard they are illegal in VA though. Can someone confirm this?

Kamin

guys its not specifically for ROLLING IT its a CAGE

clarification, this is a death trap or as others would put it a riceboy mod. kinda like the fire extinguisher on the pillar.

Do not get monkey bars. They are worthless in a rollover, and would probably just be more projectile material to fly around in a wreck. Do get an Autopower 4-pt race rollbar, 6-pt cage, or any other bar/cage made by a no-BS rollover protection equipment manufacturer.

Kalokohan

Then howcome it is mandatory at the track for cars that run sub 10's to have a rollcage in order to race?

Kamin

Thats all i needed to know. thanks WRX you know a website for them? hehe

and superflea if im running a sub 12 second quarter mile im getting a cage espically if i street race it too. its not a rice mod. its not like this is my daily driver and i was using the monkey bars as an example.

Try www.ioportracing.com
Not the monkey bars though, but the real deal.

Monkey bars WILL NOT provide roll-over protection. DO NOT get monkey bars if you race. Tech will laugh in your face. These things are purely for aesthetic purposes. If you want a REAL roll cage, go to http://www.ioportracing.com, or visit your local race car builder.

If you need a roll bar, and you drag race, the Autopower bar is not legal for such purposes.

If you SCCA race, or you want one for your own protection (as in my case) the autopower bar is well worth the money spent.

If you need pricing, contact Aj @ www.nrg-racing.com

ya this is mainly for protection from street/strip racing. just in case i roll or get t-boned id like alittle extre reinforcment

Kalokohan

Likewise.

WuShu

why in the world would you want something like this in your car?


they look more dangerous than anything to me, what if you got your head stuck in that thing? get a real roll cage if your worried about safety, if not get a monkey bar and let us know how hard it is to get into and out of your car or fit groceries in there with that monkey gym in there.
