I have seen some pics of some cars here and wanted to get a full 5 point cage for my si and wanted to know who is the lightest and best for the money any help would be great.

Thanks

5pt cage? i'm not well versed in cage construction, but i've never heard of a 5pt. autopower and kirk offer 6pt bolt in cages for integras; i assume they would work with your si. autopower also makes a nice 4pt roll bar which helps to stiffen the chassis, much safer for a rollover, and allows you to use a harness safely.

 

Your choices: Autopower or Kirk Racing
Both are good, you can't go wrong with either

BTW what year is your car???

 

I think I've seen a 5pt cage in a C5 Vette. It had a strange cross brace that went from behind the driver's head to in front of the passenger's feet. Just random trivia.

Try http://www.ioportracing.com for good autopower prices, and EXCELLENT service

I don't have any direct experience with Kirk Racing, but their stuff looks top notch as far as bolt-in cages go.

 

I've been checking Kirk's site every week for the past couple months, and it is still "under construction"...anyone know where I can check out a catalog of their products?

 

That's a petty bar and should have gone to the firewall. Takes up a lot of space in the pass front side, might as well install an 8 point cage. (main hoop, two rear supports, front support, petty bar and bar from drivers side front support to firewall, plus doorbars and dashbar if you do something like that)

The kirk is awesome IMO (not that the AP is bad). I sold mine cause I'm selling my integra but I def liked it when I had it.

 

You could always email them to see what they offer

 

Well of course...but that would totally take the fun out of my internet "window" shopping. I'd like some links to their catalog so that I can bookmark the roll cage I pick out and then remind myself every time I'm on the computer why I am going to school and working two jobs 6.5 days a week.

 

well this aint thier catalog (which probably wont be online until 2035) but you can find pics of my cage and tons of other useless **** at http://www.bseries.net/dave/

 

I hope to have enough money by 2025, so hopefully they are done by then... Your cage was the 6 pt. if I remember correctly...how much did you pay for it?

 

595+ shipping.

 

Thanks!

 

My car is a 99 Civic SI

I want a full cage like the MUGENMOBILE. I guess it is 6 point. I dont know why I said 5. Should I get a full cage or just the rear cage meaning the bar behind the seat adn the two extentions to the rear. I plan on doing some road racing and going to buttonwillow at the end of the month with Thomas (tjtroung) and I want to get into autocross ASAP Just need some help with what is not over kill and what I need for regulation.The car is also daily driven so I have to get out some how.

Any help would be greatly apreciated

P.S could you post up some links to the sight to look at. Also how heavy are these cages I dont want my weight reduction hard work to go to waste.

Thanks to all that help

Chris

For autocrossing and even some track racing, I think a Roll-bar would be fine. A cage might be a little too hard unless youre hardcore . I'm not sure what the autocrossing rules are but they do allow Roll bars.
