Roll cages/Show cages anyone?

ics:

I'm considering building one soon, have seen many in hatches and coupes (older gens), but not on any 8th's yet..

We have them in our 8th gen coupe and sedan touring cars... don't really have any pics of the cages though. Plus we didn't have to worry about any pesky interior pieces (being full out race cars). However, I do know of a cage builder down in the US (ours is here in Toronto) who has built a gorgeous cage for a fellow who runs his FG2 in Showroom stock and has retained all of the interior pieces. It really is a work of art. I can try to get you his # (they also built the cages for the 8th gen coupes that ran the 25 hour Thunderhill Endurance race back in December of '05.

they need a car in san diego to get fitted?
i wonder how long itll take. i used to have a cage in my eg, and didnt like it because i couldnt recline, and also my kids thought it was cool but couldnt climb back there. however it did look badasZ.

so maybe we can find out how long it will take and well go from there.

They need it for 1 week, and your cage will be 1/2 off. Its AUTO POWER, BUT

they need a SEDAN CIVIC, NOT COUPE.

 

[SRT4toCivicSi]

how about Monkey Bars? There not even close to being track-approved but... seeing as how your car is definately a show car

Don't hate. At least he didn't start a new thread. :bleh:

That being said...Having a roll cage in a daily driver is EXTREMELY unsafe.
