Re: roll bar help please
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.
|
Re: roll bar help please
ug, you had a shop install a bolt in roll cage.. and you want to modify it..
facepalm. take some pics, I'll try to help you but so far this is sending up a red flag for stupidity and danger.. but I'll hear you out.. lol |
Re: roll bar help please

Re: roll bar help please
hard dog is like 650 and accepted at track event state side
|
Re: roll bar help please
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.
|
Re: roll bar help please
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!
|
Re: roll bar help please
That was a temp tack to find out we're the bars need to be and so I could bolt it in I place it is 2 tab and it is not a cussco roll bar and still 600 buks compared to free and sying u did it your self(if it passes) I'm not looking for the safest roll bar I still have oem roll bar I'm looking for passing it in auto x becuz on one track in orgon it has to have one in A soft top the max speed out ther is like 45 so iv herd I don

Re: roll bar help please
So yes my roll bar is not finished I'm still thinken about just weldding the bar on solid

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. |
Re: roll bar help please
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.

Re: roll bar help please
:ugh:
I hate the fact S2000's have come down in price and shit 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? |
Re: roll bar help please
i want to say something dickhead-ish and be an ass, 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 shit
|
Re: roll bar help please
oh, and fyi, totally digging the pic of your S with the "lube zone" sticker in front of the trailer...stay classy my friend, stay classy
|
Re: roll bar help please
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.

Re: roll bar help please
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 |

That is a camping trailer everybody and I'm not white trash. The multi-colored rims are gone, I sold them for $1,000 and bought AP2 wheels because the offset is better. You are right about the autocross events, they don't care about what's in your car as long as it is bolted down. Which is why I explained it was for the Oregon kart track and Hoopa hill climb. Why buy some HardDog roll bar when I can have a pro make me one for half the price? For all you critics on Honda-Tech, it's not stock and I don't care what you think it looks like. Guess what - I get paid to race my S2000, it's a daily driver and race car, it's called having a sponsor. I get paid to have it (no idea what 'it' is) on my car. I have four sponsors, don't be jealous. Anyway, thanks again about why pay for something like a roll cage when I'm doing 45mph around cornner and am not gonna roll over im, not doing 100mph cornner thats why i dont care how safe it is its point less but it is the rulles so stop making point less comments if their not to help i did not post this for pep to tell me what i should do with my car and rather they like what im doing i agree with some of the roll cage comments but where I race it's point less to have one and no its not for looks i like the oem look every thing i put on my car is for performance iv paid more for suspension then my car who cars what it looks like its how it drives and scents im in first place in str i think its a grate car race car) how many of you actually drive your s2k every day or race it my guss is you cant aford to drive it or it stays in the garage and comes out for its oil change I started correcting this ****ed up garbage but gave up. Stop while you're ahead and try presenting yourself properly when you respond to posts. Your rollbar is a piece of shit, I highly doubt you are sponsored by anyone with half a brain. People are trying to help you and your safety. A poorly installed rollbar does more harm than good - yours is poorly designed and installed. *edit* Added to that, no one cares about your half-price rollbar. You know that old saying "You get what you pay for" ? Your half-price rollbar is half price for some reason - poorer quality materials, cheaper welds, etc. It downright is not safe. Why add the roll bar at all if you're not concerned with safety? Those rules in place at the tracks you are talking about require you to have a roll bar FOR SAFETY. Let me reiterate that, they do not have those policies in place so you can bolt in a piece of shit roll bar to squeak by. They want you (the driver) to be safe. If you are truly sponsored, then I"m sure one of the four sponsors would be more than happy to pay for a proper roll bar. |

Re: roll bar help please
Just stopping by to say that is the ghettoest roll bar I've ever seen. ****, my Miata cost 2k and I put a hard dog bar in it.
Also, judging by the fact you put that hunk of shit in your car I suggest you don't have a custom roll bar built. Leave it to people that actually know what they're doing. |

I think the OP mentioned autocross? I've never heard of a roll bar requirement for autocross... even for a Miata that will kill you if you roll it. Not saying the OP is full of shit because regional rules vary, but what he said would be false in the Midwest. :P |

He has four sponsors and we are all poor people. Yet... He is the one driving a stock S2000 with lube zone stickers on the side.

ok.. I'm honestly going to give you the best advice ever. sell your s2000.. and pretty much everything you own. Take that money and get yourself a start at community college or a local g.e.d class. I'm not joking. I tutor college kids all the time, and will honestly help you. Take something like business management/accounting and get yourself a decent job in two years. After that, and you have no debt, and you can format paragraphs/sentence structure.. not sound like an ambivalent, foolish, s2000 owner... then you get to play without halfassing the shit out of everything you touch. |
