I was just wondering if anyone knew were I can get a roll cage for my 88 accord here in SoCal. Me and a friend took it too a rally school in ridge crest and I was surpised that it took all the pounding he threw at it. Now that we want to prep it for rallying I need to find a good roll cage to put in it. any sugestions of were I could find one would really help me out.

 

I had a cage custom made here in NC and it cost $1600, and I dont think you should put much less into it. . Autopower make bolt in cages, but not for either of out applications.

3rd gens are badass rally cars.
why not a pic?

 

yes thats me and i have a helmet and all the proper safety gear.

 

I'd put a "wanted ad" in the http://www.recycler.com

Also...get in touch with a local SCCA Rally list. I'm sure there's an internet forum somewhere....(with classifieds)

 

1600 bucks seems an awful lot for a rollcage thats only going to go on an Accord. Although I must say there's a certain novelty to the idea.

 

I heard of a shop a few years back:

Shop Name: Monkey Bars
Address: 4747 Citrus Drive
City, State, Zip: Pico Rivera, CA 90660
Phone: 562-692-9696
Fax: 562-692-3229

They had a website but it didnt work when i tried it

I dont have personal experience but at least its in california

 

Ive got to check all these places out thanks for the tips. I called autopower and they told me 700 for the cage and 500 for instalation. Im still going to look at a couple of more places because it those seem like alot of money since im racing on a budget but then again I dont want to go too cheap on the roll cage since it will keep me from being crushed like a can if I roll the car.

 

Dont buy monkey bars, they are only for custom show look only, stated in their ad.

 

I have installed 4 Autopower roll bars. They are not that hard, just tedious. Monkey bars are a show item and offer more danger than they do safety.


Autopower is about the best idea you can go with as far as a budget goes. Custom cages are the premier idea for a car.
