whats up guys?

Is anyone here running either of these roll bars? If so how is the fitment? why did you choose it? etc.

Also, if you have any pics of it installed, that would be great. Thanks for the help. By the way the car is a 92 dx hatch.

I had the Autopower. Fit fine. Have the Kirk in my friends EG, fits fine.

does the autopower bar have to be welded?

 

bolts in

 

Check out the Roadrace/ Autocross forum...

 

already been there, and got a lot of the info i needed.

voodoo - after seeing both bars, and im assuming driven with both bars, which do you prefer?


Mike

 

i hav one right now on my dx 92 hb. imo i likk it its pretty stiff, but it weights 50 lbs. i got a race roll bar with a bolt on cross brace. in which u can takk it offhttp://www.ioportracing.com/rollbar.htm. i have pictures of it but no scanner. bolting it on was pretty easy. but the price i got it for is the only down fall. also another thing is if u love reclining ur seat and u dont have stock seats u cant recline all the way down. hope this info was helpful in som way

 

heres my autopower 4 point



not the best pic but you get the point , its in an ek

 

Either. Take the one you get the best deal on. Both of them are fine.

 

Autopower is complete **** ... when I get a chance I'll scan the pic of my buddies totaled integra where the autopower cage didnt do ****....in fact it hurt him more then helped em.....its a cheap setup, may as well get monkey bars if your getting a cage .... if your into jiggy mass produced **** then autopower is the yellow brick road. If your a serious racer, go get somethign constructed to meet the spec of the league your competing in, and have it welded in, so it actually does its job, and not some silly lil jiggy *** stunner "I have a fast car" look'n cage

Sry ... I didnt mean to get emotional, but these things are junk, and are dangerous, my buddy doesnt walk now .... not entirely from the cage, but the cage didnt help him...it hurt him, how counter productive

 

wow, that`s shitty. I`ve owned two over the years, but have never been in an accident at the track. anybody else hear simillar stories? This is the first I`ve heard.

Ryan

 

what happened? was he driving on the street or was he on the track with a helmet on?

Mike

Couldn’t sleep so I’m on Honda-Tech.

A few questions for you rookie about your friends accident.

1. Was it a rollbar or a full cage?

2. Was it padded or not.

3. What was the cause of the accident where your friend got hurt? Was it a rollover, him hitting something, or someone hitting him? Also what where the speeds at which the accident took place?

4. Was your friend belted in or not?

5. Finally was the cage installed correctly? If it was how did it fail aka ripping the floor board or going through the wheel well.

I’m not trying to be a dick but I’ve had an Autopower rollbar in my last two vehicles with no problems. An Autopower cage also saved a friend from serious injury in an auto accident. It’s a well known company that has saved the lives of many racers in very violent wrecks. Id put on in my next car but the rollcage blocks the mirrors to much at my driving position.

 

i have the roll bar now and i like it, but i'm saving up to get the full cage. i still wanna know wat happened to ur friend also

 

ttt

 

 

ttt Id like to know the how it failed

 

you should give the guy an oppurtunity to respond before you make assumptions.

Mike

 

I too would like to know what the situation was.... UC0083's questions were pretty good.

Nash

 

I'd like to know too. You do realize that this is basically one of the only stories like this circulating right now. I'd like to know the details.
