The OMP cage fits good

 

is this your car? COOOL!

What is there instead the passenger airbag? Where to get it and how much if I take 5 piece?

In Canada - there was a very basic version of the Integra called the RS. This model did not come with airbags - it instead had a tray in the dash. The tray fits exactly in the area where the airbag goes.

 

so you are going for the 5 point cage ??

Big Phat R is your a 6 point cage and do you only track the car ? more pics of your interior would be nice

 

U all know that cage is setup for right hand drive cars right? The cross brace connects to the lower left hand side and goes to the top of the right hand side. It should be the other way around for left hand drive cars.

 

This cage is sold from an German shop, so I doubt this cage is only for right hand cars.

 

It'll fit in LHD cars, just like the one pictured above. Just the way it is configured, it will give most of the support/protection to the right hand side of the car in a roll over.

This is an autopower bar, see how the support goes the other direction so it meets over the drivers head.

 

The crossbar is removable - so if you think it's orientation makes a difference then you can always have it mounted the other way. I think the orientation is irrelevant - as long as it is triangulated that's the important part.

I wanted to be able to get my seat as far back as possible - with this orientation you have maximum room behind your head.

The OMP cages are FIA homologated for RHD or LHD.

It's funny that you mention this AssPenny - cause the Porsche cages are mounted the same way?? I guess the ideal is to have an X bar there - but there comes a point where you either stay bolt-in or go full custom with door bars, footbox etc.

 

I also noticed that the OMP cross bar goes to the back mounting point where the auto power goes to the mounting point behind the seat. Hmm, as long as they are approved for both, then i really don't think it matters.

 

The passenger seat is higher because it has an amplifier underneath it - for the thump in the trunk......

















And you can still get 4 track tires/rims and all your gear in there....

And yes - it is a track-only kaa now - but I still drive it to work once in a while.

Quife lol

 

Nice I love how it goes through the dash, saves so much leg room. Does it have optional door bars? How much of a pain was it to install? ie remove the entire dash?

 

The OMP cage doesn't have a harness bar so I don't think it would be NASA or SCCA approved? I like how it goes thru the dash and mounts to the door rail.

 

You could probably weld one in.

You could add door bars - but they are not "optional" - if you were to add door bars - you would have to remove or cut the skins off the inside of the door - there's simply no room. I didn't want to do that on my car.

Installation requires removal of much of the interior as well as the dash. Dash has to be cut - as per mine. It's a big job. I didn't have my car for like 3 months.

Getting in/out of the car is the same as a car without a cage - which is how I wanted it.

This cage is really inexpensive and not too heavy either.

weight of the car with cage is under 2600 lbs.

Not NASA or SCCA approved, yet FIA approved. That makes so little sense, doesn't it?

 

How much room between your head and the bar? Any chance of hitting your head on the bar in a street accident (ie no helmet) ?

 

Sweet! I didn't know they raced the S-Type over there. I wonder what series that is.

 

Harness bar can be welded in easily - Dr Pooface has the same setup and welded in a bar. It will limit front seat travel (and hence leg room). The way I have my belts mounted I don't need one.

For those who race in sanctioned events - I suggest a custom cage with door bars etc AND NO INTERIOR.

Headroom is excellent on the driver's side considering I still have the headliner in. I have to take the amp out from underneath the other side to get the seat lower down. Both my seats are on sliders which has further compromised height setting.

You can get the driver side seat down a lot lower if you use a non-sliding mount.

 

thanks for the pics , it looks great .
