Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I'm looking into buying a roll bar for my 96 hatch since I do a lot of canyons runs and I want to start autocrossing, wanna be safer. Found this one on craigslist, guy wants $150, but looks like it only bolts in with only 2 points behind driver, is this even worth it or is it just bling factor?

 

looks more like a bar than a cage.
not much protection in one of those,

 

no NOT worth it....that thing has more crush zones than a beer can!

 

Greatly appreciate the input, will definitely have to pass. Thanks guys

 

read the roll cage FAQ there is tons of info there

 

A "proper" roll cage will render any back seat as useless and will likely require that it be removed, something for you to consider.

 

Stop driving like an idiot on the roads.

 

more like it has more bends, than his canyon runs.

 

That bar is junk.
Canyon runs are no good.
You don't need a roll bar for autocross.

 

I agree... most dont get out of second gear... LOL
Thou shalt not canyon run.... its dangerous!
What happens when you hit that grandmom head on trying to get the rite aid pharmacy?
Sorry had to say it.

 

Or if u wreck all by yourself at 2am? Help might not get to you for a while. If u wad it at the track, the ev will be on scene in a matter of minutes.

 

Wow, had to look at it from a different angle to see what I was really looking at.

That's not even a roll bar. That would serve about as much protection as a few single bars laying in the back seat. In fact, the single bars laying in the back seat would probably be safer. I would take no roll bar over that. All I can see is in an accident, that it would fold forward and pin you to the seat, kinda like a roller coaster ride. If it didn't break your neck coming forward.
