Hey all, I am looking for an Autopower 4 pt. Roll Race bar for my 99 Civic Si. If it has the diagonal bar and full length harness bar, that would be a plus. I have searched and saw the GB, but I want to get one out of DOM. So if anyone has one, and want to sell it, either PM me or email me.
Thanks

How much permanant damage does a bolt-in bar create? If I would like to return my car back to stock (in order to sell,) how much damage would be caused by the bar?

 

No damage is done to the car Jacob. I took mine out the other day. Just have 12 holes sitting in the car that i need to patch up and you will never be able to tell that i had a roll bar in the car. of course i would tell a buyer there was one in there at one time

 

1. Holes drilled in tub to accomodate bolts
2. Flattening of ribbed portions of the floorboard due to tightening of bar against backing plates
3. Carpet damage...either you cut it away, or you didn't, and either way, someone on the ball will be able to tell

All reversible with the possible exception of the flattened floorboard areas.

 

Cool thanks guys.
*End thread hi-jack*

 

i have seen two coupes with roll bars personally, and both had to either 1. remove rear interior pieces (what would be immediatley to the sides if you were a rear seat passenger) OR 2. had large-*** holes cut in said interior pieces.

that being said, h-t member vtecvoodoo has a cusco roll bar for sale.

 

Will that Cusco bar be allowed for SCCA Auto-X??

 

No

Here's some pics of a 4pt. installation in a '99 Coupe. I chose to cut holes in the side panels (rather than remove) so that I could retain some civility in my not-so-racecar occasional track car.





The last pic shows a little bit of oxidation due to the fact that the feet were not fully painted, and some rain has entered the cockpit with the windows down. One thing I'm planning on doing is hitting these with some paint, after sanding them down to prevent corrosion. I'd recommend doing the same once you have it installed. I'd recommend retorquing the bolts a couple weeks or so after installing, then spraying the bottom of the floorpan and rear wheelwells with some paint and/or undercoating. Hope this helps.

 

OK, so the Cusco won't work for SCCA but............
I still want to buy an Autopower !!!! No one has one???

 

Autopower won't sell you DOM unless you purchase the full cage or purchase the roll bar with the weld in front.

 

OK, well how about a Kirk Racing roll bar?? Anyone have one that they may want to part with??

 

thanks for those pics, they are very helpful.

did you bolt through the carpet, like in this pic? yikes.
and how'd you get the rear feet through those round holes? you've got fairly neat, small holes (in the plastic) compared to the ones i've seen. nice job. how much of a pain in the *** was the install?

edit: after further examination, i'm pretty sure you didn't bolt through the carpet.
