I might be in the market for a Kirk cage.

I can weld it in, but I dont want to cut door skins out.
Also, its OK for it to be a 2 seater now! I got another car...


I originally was getting the AutoPower, but they seem too busy to meet my schedule.

The site is crap, and offers no information. Please let me know any pros/cons.

Thanks

 

me grabbed kirk 6 point cage from dave-ROR. it's fuggin sweet. he's got pics of install in his gsr. will be a while for my pics in the R.

D

 

I cant seem to find them. I know he posted the snot out of those pics!

If Dave happens here please IM me so I can give you an e-mail to mail the pics to me (if you still have them)

Thanks.

 

Do they make a 4 point version of this...? I want a roll bar for autox and track days...but I don't want bars hovering next to my head when I'm driving to school and work.

Like Chris said, Kirk's website blows...anyone with info it would be great if you could share. Do any of you retailers on H-T deal with Kirk?

 

OMGarge, this was the easiest search ever

yshi - who found this thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=97753

 

Hahahaha LMAO! Mod gets blasted for not using search function!

Bob - who remembered this thread, but would still like to see a 4 pt. Kirk in an Integra

 

question for anyone with a cage
do your seats still slide all the way back?

 

I only have the AP bar, but the driver's side slides all the way back w/ the m00gen seat.

yshi - who can't reach the pedals w/ the seat all the way back

 

My OEM seats do. My Sparco Corsas do not (they contact the upper hoop). Either way, at 6'1" I don't need it back that far anyway.

 

I have a 4pt Kirk roll bar in mine. It is the exact same thing as the 6pt, minus the front part. No moddification of the car is needed to get the 4pt in. It was designed around a DSP Solo 1 Integra with full interior.

For the 6pt, I think you will only need to cut the doors if you put in the door bars. Otherwise it will also go in without any modification to the interior.

Door bars will fit fine with interior. At least they test fitted fine in my car. D will weld them onto the cage soon I'm sure.

Also, the 4pt/6pt will no longer work without cutting channels in the back seats or leaving them folded down or removed. The bends in the rear braces were removed to satisfy safety requirements.

cage1-12.jpg or whatever.

 

now i'm debating how bad i want to inconvience myself on a daily basis. i know, i'm a *****.

well, looks like 1.5" holes through the rear seats will work out better. pics will surly be posted when i have time to get that done.

 

Great. Thanks guys...I await pics.

 

So Chris...you wanna take a payment plan for the Autopower

 

That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for... Where did you buy it, how much, and do you have any pics?!

 

What was wrong with the old config, which I have!?!?!?

EDIT: Old config looks like this:

Kirk does their cages/rollbars JIT, so if you're ordering from them, you might as well ask for the version that goes towards the rear shock towers. Don't brace to the rear of the car. There's really nothing there worth protecting, and if you get into a minor rear end crash, it could end up being major due to the loss of crush zone.

Just my 2 cents,
Warren

 

down bends in the rear bars (so they could clear the rear seats).

compare

 

Thanks for al the info fellas.

I ordered the Kirk Hope to see it in a month or so... going to get the weld in 6 point..

They also will "customize" it for me, I have no interior, so they said they will not weld the feet on and make it a hair taller so it will go to the roof and I can stitch it to the roof (for more rigidity)

Customer service.

 

Consider the Autopower sold...um now do any of you know if there is anything cheaper than the peanut butter sanwiches I'm having for lunch, and the Top Ramen that I'm having for dinner?

 

Why would you want a Kirk cage when you could get some monkey bars (COMPLETE SARCASM)

Nice pics though

 

Hey dave, what kind of coating is that on the jdm 4-1? i need somethin for mine before i put in it. I was gonna go w/ the jdm shield but it seems like they always rattle like ****...

 

Quesadillas are relativley cheap. So is grilled cheese. Just avoid restaurants and fast food joints for a few weeks and you will have enough for the Autopower

 

cat food

but for anyone else, the header was coated by JetHot.
