Dgiautomotive.com makes one but just remember that the 90-91 has the seatbelts in the door so you would have to modifey your b pillar to make it fit.

r u sure?? I've been looking for one for a while and can't find any. I looked at the company you mentioned and no CRX or EF Civics are listed. Do I need to call them or are you passing around bad data

Sparco is wrong as well.

I just checked out the dgiautomotive site and they dont list the harness bar for the EF but I know the owner and I know they just started making them so just email them if you are interested.
Thanks

I'll fab one if anyone really wants one. Remember though in the event of a rollover the harness will hold you upright while the roof caves in, and you get killed. With a seatbelt you can get out of the way. Just some food for thought.

I know this is OT but how heavy is the Autopower cage?? I'm just really concerned about weight in my REX. I'm already at 2350lbs but I realize with the additional hp I should seriously consider one. I do about 6 HPDEs per year and it would be smarter than a harness bar (Especially since I have already rolled a CRX)

If you do NASA HPDEs, you don't have a choice. NASA does not allow harness bars unless they are an integral part of a (NASA-legal) roll bar. Check the latest CCR publication for requirements. I would actually recommend a custom roll bar/cage built by an experienced local fabricator (who is familiar with both the car and the rules) over the Autopower piece.

Forget the weight of it - just get some rollover protection regardless. Safety equipment is not something to skimp on. A B18C, supercharger, and track time are worth your money, but a roll bar isn't?

So then have someone weld a harness bar onto your existing main hoop.
