DaddyBuiltRacing Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Sadly I have a feeling that my car is gonna end up with a roll cage in it at some point next year. With that said I am trying to figure out a few things. What ET's require what number of points in a cage? Also are swing out bars acceptable, I am a big guy and do not wanna climb over the damn bars that run down by the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 "Crossbar and rear braces must be welded to main hoop. Sidebar must be included on driver’s side and must pass the driver at a point midway between the shoulder and elbow. Swing-out sidebar permitted." So swing out doors are ok after all? If thats true then I am cool with having the side bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboking15 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes door bars are permitted. If I remember correctly they are legal up until 9.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 http://swracecars.com/store/8-Point-Roll-Bar-OSCARItem_27=11-1030.aspx Word of warning, Cages and roll bars like this, the ones Jeg's sells, and any other "cage in a box" are usually bent out of ERW tubing which is illegal in most sanctioning bodies and will become illegal in all others in years to come. They fit like shit too. If you value your car, your life, or your money, custom is the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsolow Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Yes door bars are permitted. If I remember correctly they are legal up until 9.99 You can have swing Out door bars down to a 8.50 cert. Two of the cars in the shop now have 8.5 cert with swing out bars. Both of which I built.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hmm jegs states in their ad "8, 10, and 12 point roll cages exceed NHRA and IHRA standards" As for it being custom, it will have to be as I am a big guy and don't want it to affect my seat position. So the bar that runs behind the seat will have to be bent where the drivers side seat is so I can drive the car comfortably lol. Ian can you pm me a price on having a cage done, the car is a 94 Integra 4dr with full interior, same thing goes for you too Leigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boxed ones are usually junk but if all you care about is passing tech cheaply, have at em! :fuckyeah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 agreed, only a custom bent cage is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAWDAD Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 11.49 you need a min of a 5pt roll bar, it is legal to 10.00. Most just go ahead and add the passenger side door bar, making it a 6pt. Yes swing outs are legal. Bolt in kits are legal too, "IF" Crossbar and rear braces must be welded to main hoop. the rear down bars are usually sleave with a bolt through it. that is not legal. You can remove the bolt and weld the bolt hole closed to make it legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Yeah I figure I might as well put the side bars in there since swing out bars are legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
