roll cages

just throwing this up their. i will have a roll cage in by next year. but looking for ideas. and seeing how the 7th gen accord is slightly different than our cl's. im prepared to do some custom cutting and welding. but just want the majority of the bends to be their. which one would be better?

I personally prefer the 10 point, but that may involve cutting the dash up, if the curve even works. Id go with the 8 point for ease of install.

I assume youre welding it in?

push the limits bro but make sure ur safe first.. It's a hard line to walk your whole life and not have something go wrong just ONCE. which is all it may take to really fuck shit up.

not saying you aren't but.. everyone gets carried away at some point when they ought not to be. It's just the MORE you do it, the more your odds go down of having nothing go wrong.

Dude, i thrashed my older 6-speed as much as it could take. I redlined it at 7,250 rpm about every 3 minutes. I would take turns so fast enough to where my tires scream! Driving like this will eventually get you. I totaled it doing 110 in a 45.... Took me 5 months to find the one i have now in the same condition as my last one with low miles. I was without a car for 5 months..... I drive fast in this one, but not like a retard like i used to...

practice makes perfect. lol. but street speed in and racing on the track is a whole nother story. tracks are clean and prepped with barriers. its safer, but when u lose control theirs little hope to save it

yea it's always nice to make mistakes when ur at the track with no curbs or things that will kill you or ur car.

it just sucks to be the one who learned the hard way.

back to the roll cage, i personally would just build one completely from scratch, it would be easier and more precise anyway
