Do not buy one of these unless you plan on working on it your self . I hear they get $250 bucks to change the plug's in it . Why I have it up for sale and just put a crate motor in it .

My turn, assuming I can make the picture thingy work 






My project, I started about 6 years ago because I wanted to learn to work on cars, I had not even changed my own oil up until that point. I did everything except welding the roll bar, that's not something I wanted to experiment with getting right

and the pics didnt load, using photobucket, what did I do wrong?

Apparently I have traded!  new Picks of the new truck next week!

Here you go buddy:

i would give some serious attention to that weld plate at the base of the angle bar.

 Well I picked up my new ride this morning,, I've had it a day already but it was in the shop getting fitted out with all the stuff off my other one.

Should be to the frame.

I was making this Citation Excel look good.

Honda being a unibody doesn't have a frame. In SCCA and NASA they require a plate welded to the floor pan (or wherever that attachment point is located) with a minimum square inch of footprint, and minimum thickness, and the cage bar is welded to that. I've seen some horrendously hard impacts that totally wrote off the car, and these attachment points have held up.

That being said I hope that car is for drag racing (with a helmet) and is never put on the street. Roll bars in street cars = almost certain death for occupants in a wreck, if your head comes in contact with the bar/cage, which is very likely.

a naturally aspirated b16 or b18 isn't fast enough to even warrant a roll cage drag racing or even scca.

Hmmm... I didn't do the drag race thing, but I did plenty of SCCA and NASA wheel-to-wheel, and I can tell ya that I wouldn't have wanted to get hit by or run into the other cars on track with me, or the concrete wall or steel armco for that matter, in either my CRX or my Integra. My ITA Integra was capable of 126mph on the straights with only a D16A3, and was limited by gearing (bouncing off the rev limiter top of 5th). Some of the ITS and ITR Integras are lots faster on the straights, the ITR class cars (B18 powered) pushing upwards of 150mph. Hitting a concrete wall at those speeds without a cage? Nahhhhh. Or even worse, being t-boned in the passenger door by a ITS BMW 325i rolling at 100+ mph while you're sittin dead still center of track, stalled. Saw that happen in T1 at Road Atlanta. Driver would have been dead 100% if not for the roll cage. You can get just as dead in a lower hp car without the proper safety gear.

Only if that 325IS is lapping you.

I meant autox. I should have been more specific

 yep. i don't know how many people i've seen get seriously messed up due to something like that.
