i need a roll bar for my r because i'm running at Thunder Hill this summer. I'm looking for a sturdy roll bar. bolt on or welding doesn't make a difference to me....im willing to do either. Does anyone have a roll bar in their integra??? how much did you pay??? was the install difficult??? Thanks for the help guys

 

Get the Kirk.. excellent service. FAST delivery.. great price.

CAll to see if you can still keep the rear seat installed (but no roll bar equipped car should have ANY passengers in the rear)

What is the weight of the Kirk roll bar? Cusco makes a roll cage not sure about a roll bar, but its weight is very, very light compared to an Autopower 4pt. I used to have on my Gsr which was probably around 40lbs. or so.

 

I have an Autopower DOM 6-point bolt in cage and love it. I purchased it from Ken at ioport racing. Here's a link for ya...

Hope this helps

 

Well the best solution is not the most cost-effective so I wont get into it.. for you, I would say get the Kirk or the AP.. it really doesn't matter IMO, I personally prefer the design of the kirk for a boltin and others prefer AP.

However, do **NOT** put a max $ on your safety.

Also for those concerned about weight.. it's a damned safety device not a bling bling CF hood, steel is heavy, take chit out of the car and do other weight removing and all is good.. I honestly didn't notice the extra weight.

 

Go for the KIRK

Check out my sig for pics of it in my R

Check out Travis's Autopower intall info at ITRCA...

so how much is the kirk vs. ap vs. autopower??? I am willing to spend maybe around 11 or 12 hundred. Anyone have the prices??? Also do you guys feel a difference in the rigidity??? Thanks for all of the help guys

 

1100-1200?

You can get an AP rollbar for around $320ish, then spend the rest of the money on brakes/fluids/driving schools!!!

 

$1100 for a rollbar?!? You're in luck, you'd probably have to get one made of titanium to hit that price...the autopower i have was under 300 if i remember correctly. Our site has lots of pics of the install etc.

 

for that I would get a AP or Kird 6 point bolt in, Sabelt harness and some brake pads/fluid... or a weld in and nothing else..

 

anybody seem the roll cage from Mugen?

I saw the $1600 price tag, then kept looking

 

Kirk

 

that looks really nice

 

What is ther price of the Kirk? Their web site is not fully ready.

Why would one chose one over the other?

I know that the Autopower can be installed without cutting any panels. Can the Kirk?

 

I have the Autopower 4 Pt. "Race" cage with removable harness bar (which allows you to use the rear seat if you must). Price with options was $360 (plus $115 for shipping). Bought it from Ken at IOPort --> http://www.ioportracing.com . I was told it would take a month to get it. I had it in two weeks. Fit and finish was nice (heck, with no scratches during shipping I didn't even have to paint it). If you're just doing schools a 4 pt cage and a good set of harnesses should do it. The 4 pt is about 55 lbs as opposed to 100+ for the 6 pt. Plus you don't have to hop over the door bars to get in and out. It really stiffens up the back of the car ( to the point where I no longer feel the need for the rear upper tie bar).

 

I got my kirk 6pt for 595+60ish shipping. Was told 2 weeks it was sitting at my house in 5 business days. The kirk can be installed without cutting panels as well.. the biggest difference is the rear supports.. the rear seats will not be usable at all with the kirk (the backs wont go back far enough to click in place) but you should never have passengers with a 4pt or 6pt installed anyways (passengers in back that is).

 

I wish more people believed this

who has seen too many rear passengers in rollover-protected cars

 

As with any mod Zyg I'd assume it would decrease the resale value of the vehicle. I'm going to plug the many many holes from it and silicon them before I sell the car.

 

Both of these roll bars can be removed pretty easily if they are bolted in.

I would venture to say that no modifications increase the resale value of a Type-R.
