If I use a 10-point roll cage kit from Jegs. http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...58645_-1_10775 Will I be able to keep the dash intact? I can't really tell from the pics and I have no experience with roll cages.

 

You can keep the dash but you'll need to cut out holes for the bars to go through. I can't imagine why you would need a 10 pt and not know much about it. Other than a full drag car, you should probably keep bars from right in front of your face.

 

I'll pad up the bars near face. And I'll be wearing a helmet. Yes full drag car...with the occasional friday night drive.

 

Again, I disagree entirely.

The only place on a Honda that will kill you every time if your vehicle is struck there, or flips over onto that area, is the windshield/front of the roof area. You WANT a 10 pt cage as anything else is a halfmeasure, especially with 88-91 ED chassis.

 

I rolled my first 93 si hatch, very, very gently (just about saved it) It went over with as much force as if you just fork lifted on one rocker panel and lifted it over on to the roof. The roof was right into the dash and looked like it rolled about 4 times hard, I wont even bother taking my new civic out of the garage without a proper cage.

 

I know, highroller, but I only care about saving ED chassis owners. Anyone caught dead in a 92+ Civic deserves to be... well, caught dead. :P

 

be nice

 

Thanks for the input fellas. This is going into a CRX by the way.

edit: I'll make as post pretty soon on the build progress and what it entails...just so I can get the opinions of the HMT community.

 

10 pt pls kthx!

 

Well, I hit a flatbed trailer truck going about 5-15mph while I was going around 65 in my lil crx and he cut me off on the highway.

I was knocked out and face cut up (needed 30 stitches), but came out WAY better than I expected.

Those cages are pretty cheap. I want to find a plain, stockass HF to throw a b in and use as a track car... Hmm...
