Bolt-on Roll Cage?

[Crab Walker]

hey, I was wondering if you can still keep your back seat with a roll cage :confused: also if anyone knows of any site where to buy a bolt-on roll cage for a s13???

[HaLo]

Search for the Autopower roll cage. (on google)

[thx247]

maybe its possible, but how would it be safe and why keep the seat if you throw a cage in?

Its gonna be hard to climb over that cross over bar to get in the back seat.

Its still a daily driver, but I want to run autocross occasionally.

you can get those clevices and have the crossbar removable, but I think that would kind of suck. The whole point of a bar is to be stiff.
And with all that tubing back there for a passenger's head to smack off of...
damn, I don't hate anyone enough to put em back there with the car stock, much less with tubing back there.

You can purchase the autopower roll bars with whatever you want, cross bar, diagnal bar, welded in or removeable.. its all up to you.

However, anytime you add the mid and cross section, you REALLY make it inconvenient and next to near impossible (or just plain unsafe) to even have anyone in the back. So take that into consideration.

I was trying to find other cages with the back seat in intact but this is all I could find so far.

I also have another question, On the first one, where does that front horizontal bar go :confused: Under the steering column?

[sykikchimp]

just get a roll bar.. full cages are WAY inconvienient in a street car.

does anyone have experience with the cusco 4 point roll bar available from raretrick?
is it functional?
I don't want one like that weird doo luck stiffening one, I want one that will actually prevent me in the event of a roll over.

Cusco Cages are functional they are like the autopower just better quality in my oppinion. I have a 8 point autopower in my Civic it is nice just not what i would like in my 240.

Exactly what makes a cusco cage better quality than autopower???

Look at how those bars go together and compare it to the autopower and try and tell me the cusco is better...

DSC?..... Where the hell did you come from man?! Thought you were dead or something... ;)

[mixedwell]

wow! DSC... what car is that? that look like an s2000 interior, but the exterior loks so different to me. hmm.. like a 180sx? wtf is that? that's sexy.

anyways, the autopowers is a good cage. i have a brand new six point one im selling for 675 obo on the for sale seciton. and cages are unsafe for the rear passengers. you will need padding, lots of it.
