saw this online today:

im sure your expecting someone to say it:

That thing looks really unsafe. For the track or street.

blah blah blah dont care… i personally dont know anyone that died with a bolt in cage… and i dont expect to roll the car over any time soon… we all heard it before but whatever

reminded me of his friend with this car:

please note:
lack of passenger seat, i guess he doesn’t need room for an instructor since he doesn’t track the car
aluminum tow hook powder coated gloss black
subframe brace without a sway bar
only 40 more hp than stock even though he spent probably over $15k on the engine alone

:headbang
ear muffs since its so damn loud hes afraid of loosing hearing

What do you expect from them Honda boys :rofl

oh no, It appears I hurt some feelings on HT by calling it a show cage. :ohnoes

:lol
Looks like a cusco cage painted black.
Cusco cages ARE NOT roll cages. They will bend and slice into you lol. :nod

or it could be a saftey 21 cage, since they are same company and saftey 21 cages are black and are a lot better of a cage…

I don’t care…That hatchback is SICK!

ricer. :wtf

No? :wtf It is what it is, It’s high dollar, and I’m sure it’s pretty quick (made 62whp over stock, not 40 btw 226-164=62) but I’m sure it’s a show winner and a magazine feature.

not surprised you took that side of this.

Fact is, with my helmet contacts the inner side of the targa top where the handle is the entire time i drive (no bumping it when i turn or something) With 2.5" of shitty tubing in between that targa and where your head goes I don’t understand how they dont end up with a concussion just from taking a right turn.

I dont care if you think the quality of that cage is good (if it is a safety 21 cage) it is designed poorly in terms of safety in a roll over, driver safety when its not rolling over, and chassis stiffness. I my mind that makes it a really shitty cage even if its only for show.

oh wait, I forgot he chromed it. I guess that makes it the coolest cage I’ve ever seen.

Power: 190 hp @ 8200 rpm & 130 ft·lbf @ 7500 rpm

High dollar? Yes. So is this:

That car is just a pile of over priced parts. No thought went into it whatsoever. Simply which parts make me look like a baller at a car show.

That to me is rice.

i wanna cage my wifes tsx, baller

That silver EK you posted is a B series and it got tracked, at least once in awhile

I’m pretty sure he brought it because people were giving him such a hard time about it. :lol

It has a swaybar too… :umm

damn you.

I guess he ended up putting one on. I see it now.

:nana

If he is putting a cage in and using it on the streets, at least put some padding on it. :idiots

then he wouldnt have room for his head. no joke!

i agree with you, i was just saying it might be a saftey 21 cage cause there cages styled are identical to cusco since they are made by the same people, but are of a better quality. that cage has death written all over it if your not in the car all the time with a helmet, or a midget. and if he drives around with out a helmet on hes an idiot for not having padding. most of honda-tech is just hard parkers so who really cares. i say let them do what they want, at least you have fun with your car.
