i dont have any pics but i did put an 8 point weld in cage in my 94 civic coupe, so if you have any questions let me know. just watch for the fuel lines when the supports go in, cause the undercoating likes to burn

 

...and if you're TAC welding it yourself, remove your ECU (take out of car) before you ground your TAC welder, otherwise you'll fry it.

 

Sweet Now that is a nice cage!

 

hey turboorangecx, are you the guy from homemadeturbo.com?

 

Yes that would be me. Jeff was nice enuff to post diy setup.

 

^neema = post *****

 

THat is a serious cage. I love the attention to detail on the rear strut towers. Serious. JOB well done to whomever did the job.

 

I'll be getting roll bars installed soon, I'll be posting pics of it. . . . Thanks for the replies. . .

 

 

dam man that car looks bad ***, i love that geezer dash....clean install

 

Rollbars coming soon. . . . .

 

good gracious.. bars are bodacious

 

Mine's not quite as nice as Spicy's, but it'll do on a budget. The car is a '94 DX hatch ITA race car. There's nothing better than buying a perfectly good street car and ripping the crap out of it to race. More pics of the prep work are at; http://members7.clubphoto.com/john51...62/guest.phtml

 

does that autopower cage block your side view mirrors at all
I have Spoon mirrors and they might be useless with the front bars like that
let me know if it does cos i need to get a cage too

 

Are weld in cages safer than bolt in designs?

 

yes they are.

 

OK, saw your prep photos. Looks like you used the dry ice technique. What did you use to remove the leftover resedue after the tar removal. And did you re-paint the floor afterwards, or did it just come off that clean. Thanks for the help.

 

Custom-fit welded cages are typically safer and fit better, but the cost is more than double.

I used dry ice late, after most of the tar was already removed. I wish I would've had it earlier. I soaked the floor afterwards in 3M Adhesive Remover to get most of the residual goo off. It wasn't perfect, but it didn't have to be. And yes, I spray painted it.

This is about as good as it got.

 

loookin great john!

 

Is that daily driven or is it strictly a track car? My car is somewhat gutted except for my back panels, but I'm not sure if I should remove them because I drive it daily.
