I have a few questions about the AutoPower bolt in roll cage if anyone knows much about them. Does it allow the use of the front passenger seat? I can't tell by the little picture that I see on most websites that sell them. What kind of certifications does it have? I'd like to get a weld in, but I can't find anyone to weld one in for me (not for free of course), noone seems to want to take any liability. How much of the interior must be removed to install the cage, and is it possible to put the rear seats in after installation (not useable, but I want the interior to look somewhat stock + a roll cage)? If anyone can answer some of these questions, or if you have one and would like to share your experience, it would be great! Thanks!

 

I would definitely not install a cage on a street car unless it was being used as a dual-purpose road racer, and from the looks of your mod list that is not the case.

 

What would be some reasons not to install a cage in a street car? I like to take my car out to local autocross events with a few of my friends and compete, even if it is just for fun.

 

get in an accident with a rollcage and no helmet and you'll see

 

Downside: Turning your head to jello when it bounces off the cage.



It's a chicken and egg problem:

Harness requires cage.

Cage requires helmet and harness.

Helmet requires enormous cojones to wear on a daily basis.

 

Okay, but considering I was planning on padding the cage fully (I know I hadn't stated that earlier), could someone answer some of my questions? I didn't ask if I should get one or not, I just needed a little info (not trying to me a dick, I'd just like to know if anyone could help me out with my questions).

 

I think you lose your rear speakers. Everything else stays in.





If you think some nerf padding is going to save your head during an accident, you're wrong. That padding is so you don't get hurt if you're wearing a helmet... it will provide no protection.

 

I got the AutoPower 6 point cage in my integra. You have to take out your front visors, the passenger oh shit bar and move the rear speakers back. I set up my speakers so they are bolted farther back so the roll cage fits in the speaker gill hole. I put my stock rear seats back in and you can use your passenger seat as well... its a good cage for a daily driver since its a bolt in. Also if you are not tall you won't hit your head on the bars...
