The cage does like to vibrate and I put mine right up to the roof line with the overhead hoop and thats what vibrates. If your skilled I suggest putting ice on the roof and tack along the metal structure that the head liner mounts to. It's thin but only 4 tacks should reduce the vibration. Cage costed $650 shipped. And the chrome molly isnt worth the extra 300 get the steel.

On the subject of that CRX buildup...
What did you do about the steering? I just mounted my seat in my civic and I need like 6-8" added to my steering column to get thewheel where I want it. |
Re: Are these ghetto cheap cages, or ghetto and cheap cages?
Sure the padding would help put alot, but that was my first cage install and I thought the closer to the chassis the better, but I have to deal with the humming until I get some ordered, but it was a drag only car I thought at the time and with solid mounts I didnt think it would matter. But it would quite it down alot in the cabin.

The only way of adding lengh to a steering shaft is to build your own. It's a huge pain in the ass but it's the only way of doing it right.

---- that, if no-one makes a longer shaft, then I'll try to use a standard shaft for a stock car and have an adaptor machined to fit the Honda U-joint on the end.

---- machined, weld.

Weld on a steering shaft??? Maybe not a good idea. You can make a shaft and adapt it to a Honda for about 75 bucks.They aren't that trick.
