That car might as well not even have a cage in it. There is absolutely no triangulation. Its just a square cage, aka, junk.
But I would say the monkeys and aluminum foil are a nice touch..... LULz

This is a proper cage, now just use common sense and see the difference. The cage in that Honda would probably KILL you if you were in a wreck.

The overall construction and design of the cage wouldn't support the chassis properly if an accident were to occur.

Roll cages aren't made of sharp bends. This car's "cage" is nothing but 90* bends and welds. That =/= safe.

NOTHING on that thing is made right, even the main hoop is fucked, look at the cage I posted, and compare it to the ricer one. I'm sure it's not even the right material.

I'd rather educate those who ask legit questions, than those who just blabber shit out and then complain later about their mistakes.

My logic is this:

I never toy around or cut corners when it comes to occupant safety. Anytime there is a safety question that comes up, no matter how simple it is, I will NEVER flame the person, and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

Because it promotes the idea that janky-ass cage work is acceptable, and the people that don't know any better will think it's ok.

Fact is, a roll cage is meant to save the occupant's life in the case of an on-course accident. It's not there to look pretty, flashy, or let you hang your stuffed animals up.

I honestly dont know a shitty cage from a spectacular awesome cage. But im not stupid enough to put a couple pieces of conduit in the back of my car and call it a cage. If I think im gonna go start auto-xing, I will go pay the money to have one built

It doesn't matter! Some stupid 16 year old kid is gonna see it, and think that those parallel bars running by the rear windows will actually serve a purpose! I know this may sound far-fetched to some, but there are idiot 18 year old kids out there with welders attempting to install roll cages with NO KNOWLEDGE on how to properly do it. They see shit like this, and they think it's the proper way to do it.

Shitty examples like this DO NOT PROMOTE SAFETY! That's my problem with it. It's not a matter of 'getting over it,' it's a matter of educating those who don't know any better. Which leads to...

Yes, well not road RACE but time trials and track day car, I don't think any road racing classes allow any bolt in cages of any form anymore.

I never thought a cage was for "looks". Always for safety in race cars, and fast street/race cars. So, this person is dumb.

And, anyone who puts a cage in a car "just for looks" is stupid imo...

Oh, ok. I didnt think that there was any sanctioning body that would allow bolt ins either. And to go along with the stuff that AFSIL80 is saying, a roll cage in a street car can be unsafe (possibility of hitting your head on a piece of roll bar)and a crappy roll cage is def not safe(breaks apart and impales or worse the occupants). AFSIL80 has seen some safe quality roll cages constructed so he knows what he is talking about.

Racing harnesses (4 or 5 point) are not allowed on the street right?

I know its off topic but i was wondering because a poor cage would also not allow for proper placement of harnesses.

Just to play devils advocate, how is that show "cage" any different than the chrome hoop "style bar" as Mazda calls it that was available as a stock factory option on a Miata? At least Honda has never offered a COSMETIC "roll bar", this is just an idiot that doesn't know any better. What's worse, an idiot with a show car that doesn't know any better or a manufacturer selling 1,000's to idiots that don't know any better ;)

How about these aftermarket ones? What happens when an owner rolls and this thing folds over their head? A hoop is useless for anything other than trapping and/or strangling the occupants if it doesn't have perpendicular support.

I know its off topic but i was wondering because a poor cage would also not allow for proper placement of harnesses.I believe Schroth makes the only US DOT approved harnesses, I know for a fact that was true 4 years ago.

http://www.schrothracing.com/main/Engineering

"SCHROTH street legal harness belts are unique in their ability to be installed to factory provided mounting points along with the factory provided seat belts. SCHROTH harness belts meet all certification requirements by the German TÜV, ECE-R 16.04 and US-DOT FMVSS 209 for use on public roads. Each belt comes with complete installation and operating instructions. If your vehicle is listed in the included Vehicle Reference List the installation has been tested and appoved with the stock seat or the listed aftermarket seats.

SCHROTH QuickFit harnessbelts have the make and model of the applicable car printed on the tail strap label.

Unlike most other aftermarket harness belts, most SCHROTH street legal harness belts have a unique disconnect feature between the front part of the harness and the rear tail strap. When you are not using the SCHROTH street legal harness belts, they can be stored out of the way allowing complete access for all passengers and full use of all factory seat belts."

I thought that was the case with them being illegal.

Is the only reason this particular one is legal have to do with it allowing the use of oem seatbelts?
