Default Autopow Whaaaattttttttttttttttttt

Anthony and I knocked out the Autopower roll bar I got from Migs the other day in about 2 hours in super hot TX weather . Grade 8 bolts and high density padding set me back about $80 on top of the price of the bar but hopefully was well invested $$. I ordered 2 tubes of high and 2 low density pads from OG racing which had it to my doorstep in 3-4 days.







I used the 2 sticks of high density around the head and upper area and 1 tube of the low density was perfect to cover the sides behind the seat.

Not being an ***, but how can a cage make your car non-street legal??

Nice install, Where did you order from? Any install problems?? Any advice for other looking to install one?

Did you notice the caR driving different after the install?

Seconded. I've hit my head a few times on the rollcage in our CRX track car, and even with the SFI padding, it's no picnic.

Yeah.. I'm really not looking forward to the day I get rear ended with my Autopower rollbar. Maybe a nice (tall) seat would ease my mind...

1. I got it from Migs, but you can order it from http://www.ioportracing.com

2. Install was pretty straight forward thanks to the threads below .
I tried to cut corners, but it ended up taking longer than if I just listened to those guys.

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1201253
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=787076

3. Read those 2 threads and wait till it's not 95 degrees outside

4. It's a strange feeling having an extra 50-60 lbs right behind your seat. I drove it around a bit, never really got on her hard but I did notice the rear being stiffer.
