hey all, not 100% sure what section this should be in but i was wondering how come ALOT of civics i see on here that have a rollbar are in like an anodized blue...i love the look but always wondered what it is, certain material that comes like that? im debating on getting a 6pt while my car is pure gutted and getting body/paint, any suggestions or comments please post

Thanks in advance, Mike

 

Blue rollbars suck,

and you will prolly end up dead if you use it.

 

nice post, care to explain a little? lol

 

The blue cage is made by Cusco. Ive always wondered but are Cusco cages a real safety cage or are they just for show?

mainly show....YES,before anybody argues with me,there are people who have been saved by these cages.....BUT,it's main function is JDM bling........for a lot less money,you can get a higher quality,safer alternative.look into Autopower,Kirk,Art Morrison or a good local shop to fab something.
of course,no rollbar without bucket seat and harness,and definately no rollCAGE on the street.there are many threads on this subject-a search should provide some good info.

Regardless of brand, make sure you use SFI-rated padding around your head!

 

well, i was thinkin of gettin the rollbar now since its the right time to do it if im gonna get one, the car is gonna be mainly street but i do wanna take it to the track the odd weekend etc. im putting an h22 in over the winter and i plan to turbo it as well so thats only reason why i was thinkin rollbar, i think anything 11.99 and faster here requires 6pt.....whats everyones opinion on me putting one in? (i was actually thinkin of getting it custom made/welded in)

Thx, Mike

 

just get an autopower and have it powdercoated blue

if you're going to drive it on the street,or anywhere else without a helmet,i think most people will agree on no bars forward of the hoop-padded or not.

i found these pics on this site as a fairly close example of the style rollbar im talkin about getting, heres a few pics...i was also thinkin about gettin swing out door bars and of corse harness mounting bar. anyone else have opinions if i should get one or not?







thanks again, Mike~

 

swing out door bars?

If you need a cage/bar...get one... sounds to me you're looking for more "show points" for your PrOjEkT...

 

nah this car will never be in shows, nor do i even go to shows, but all i was wondering was if its a good idea to get a bar now or not, as for the swing out option, i didnt know if it was good or not, i dont know too much about it (itd be better if i didnt get rollbar but is there any other ''safe'' way to mount harness', that was another concern)

pics aren't working..i'd suggest a 4-point rollbar with harness bar.definately don't use harnesses without a rollbar.
Chris

 

those pics look like they are of 4-point roll bars not 6-point cages. Personally, on a street car I'd stick with a 4-pt roll bar so my head doesn't get smashed against any bars.

Like TeamNextGenChris said, don't run a harness without a rollbar.

 

ok thanks guys for the comments, maybe ill just stick with normal gsr leathers or sumpin, goddamn i dunno anymore

Mike~

 

sounds like the 4pt would be better. puttin the swing out bars defeat the purpose of the 6 point. and some places don't accept it as a 6 point. don't waste your money and go for the easier and it will look better.

 

aight thanks brotha, appriciate the advice, how come swing out bars suck tho? really kills the strength or wut?

 

Hey that middle pic is my car!! It is a 6 point, with the other 2 bars ready to go in if needed.

Dont use swingouts, they arent worth it at all.

 

Check out Art Morrison cages. They are NHRA legal and are a great deal. Just need to do a little fabbing but all in all a great product.
