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 ****, 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 **** 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.

Responding from what I understand, dd's and racecars are opposites. If you want a roll bar/cage, purchase(HardDog recommended) or build one that actually works. I understand youre trying to save a buck, but this is something you want that has been tested and engineered for your safety.

If we cant afford to drive our S2000s why would they be coming out for oil changes if we are not driving them in the first place? You're acting like the S2000 is expensive. My engine management and turbo are worth more then anything all your modifications. Pointless comments? People saying your cage is pointless and dangerous are the only thing keeping this thread going or some what tech related. I suggest you enroll yourself in school.

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 **** 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 can't think of a single track in the Midwest that requires a s2000 to have a roll bar for HDPE. They all consider the factory roll hoops "factory rollover protection" and let it slide.

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 **** because regional rules vary, but what he said would be false in the Midwest.

True, I know for the East Coast VIR is an absolute convertible **** when it comes to roll bars.

I was mostly basing it off the OP's statements however, so very possible he is full of ****.

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.

jesus christ man..
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 **** out of everything you touch.

what this gentleman said is right. with an aftermarket seat bolted to the floor, even at ur height, you should have no issues passing a broom stick test with the hard dog bar. I'm 6ft and owner of an s2000 with hard dog roll bar and with the stock seats with a helmet on i'm about an inch under.

My engine/turbo setup was 16,000 dollars and that's not counting rims,tires, coils, bumper and wing. My s2000 is paid off but this isn't a pissing contest. Why do you refer to everyone having their s2000s in their garage? Why do you care if they keep it in their garage or not? I know most people on here daily theirs.

This thread is amazing. I ran the OP's messages through Google Translate and it timed out... I'm still trying to figure out what he's trying to get at.

Try using punctuation, capitals, and proper sentence structure. It helps us understand what you're in need of, so we can help you.

From what I'm able to understand from the pictures... you had a hardparker's rollbar, modified it and made it more unsafe. There's a point and time when you should just cut your losses and start over. This would be it.
