Default Roll cage for an EF Sedan?

We're doing the 24 Hours of Lemons South in a '88 Civic DX Sedan. Last year we did an XR4Ti and had to fab a cage. This year we want to be smarter and find a bolt-in cage. Unfortunately they don't seem too easy to find. Anyone found one? Better yet, does anyone want to sell me one?

There is no bolt in cage for the Sedan. Looks like your will be fabbing up another one. So you guys must be coming back to CMP.

yikes!, shouldn't the top bars be closer to the roof? That doesn't look safe...

I would've thought that the hb cage would fit the front, but that I'd have to extend the rear bars down to the floor. Is the dash and roof of the sedan that much different?

We're coming back. We're even bringing back the Merkur. We had a couple more people interested in racing this year so we decided to do 2 4-man teams to get more seat time.

Ef4dr, did you have to extend it in height as well, or only length.

i didnt have to extend anything... they give you plenty of extra length on all the tubes. there are some many variables when it comes to cages with placement. even it you buy a pre-bent kit you still have to mod it to fit correctly anyway
