Ok since you cannot post pics here they are. Once again I have to do everything for the team. A big thanks goes to AJ and Tim at www.bentup.com for making this awesome cage for us. It still isn’t done yet but we are very close. We got a new wiring harness this weekend to change the car to OBD1 so we will be do wiring the next couple of days.
damn!
That is perfectly done. Nice welds, Nice work in general. mad props.
Keep us posted looks great :rockon:
W00t! 
We will be doing a bunch of work in the next couple of weeks. We will keep you all posted on how our project is going. :manual: Hopefully we will have it running soon
well since everybody is showing off their cages ill guess ill show mine. I just got it back today from Kearney Enterprises, im real pleased with the work and that its not too much of a pain to get in and out of. check it out…
Where are you racing your car? In SCCA the cross brace for the main hope has to be 8 inches from the bend behind the driver on the upper part of teh main hoop. I noticed on your cage it goes from the passenger side to the drivers side. That would not be alowed here. I hope it works in your series. I would hate to have to cut up a cage. Looks good.
Well I was planning to go H4 but the guys who did my cage did it according to the ITS specs so it should be SCCA legal. Theyve been around for a while so i trust that everything they did is SCCA legal.
Unless your car is right hand drive that cage is not legal. The bar must be within 12 inches of the bend on the drivers side of the hoop. At least they will only have to replace the cross bars in the hoop and not the entire cage. Who knows maybee you’ll get lucky and the tech won’t notice, but that is not likely. Your car looks great besides that. Man sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I can’t imagine that you would have to pay for them to fix that. Keep us posted of what happens.
Yeah, I cant imagine though that it would be illegal and they would put it in that way; theyve been in business for the past 50 years or so. Regardless though, ill talk to them when i get back from my drivers school and if its illegal then they should fix it free of charge. Thanks for your responses guys, Id hate to go to the track and not be allowed to run because of that bar. The thing is though he ran the bar the opposite way so that i wouldnt hit my head on it if i were to wreck the car. I dont though, every other cage ive seen has had the bar go right next to the drivers head. Anyway thanks for the responses guys. Ill keep you posted as to what happens.
91gst,
How tall are you? Like you said most cars out there have the bar going right by the drivers head, it just makes sense for safety in a rollover. We placed ours around six inches from the bend so that your head wont hit even if the seat is put all the way back.
Well Im about 5’10" so im not that tall. I did look through the 2005 general competition rules and specs Scca book and looked under cages. From what I read its seems as though that the bar has to run from the drivers side to the passengers side and mine is vice versa. So, Ill be giving them a call sometime this week to get it all straightened out. Thanks again guys for pointing it out or it might have taken me a while. Ill keep you posted on what happens for whoevers interested.
I am glad we got that figured out. Yes that would suck not being allowed to race. I took som enew pics of the lack of progress. Not really lack of progress but we want the car to be perfect so we are taking our time.

Finally found a motor
New www.omnipowerusa.com coilovers
nice …and man the omni’s look good i cant wait to get mine …i want to see pics or people who are running them already and how the car looks …
Sorry, double post
IMO you shoulda waited till you came across a VTEC
before i totalled my teg a few days ago, i was hell bent on a h22
We had a B16 in the car that we pulled out. The rules for Honda Challenge in the H4 class says we have to use the stock motor with a few mods only. It helps keep the cost down. Maybe next year ot the year after we can put a K20 or something else and run in the H1 class.
K20=me 
could vtec really be considered a mod? or a signficant one as GSR’s come stock with a vtec i know urs isnt a vtec but its still a G2
Well in H4 there are non vtec DOHC cars which for the DA’s are the LS, RS, and GS so if the car came from the factory with a non vtec motor then you must use that motor which in our case is the B18A. If you were to use a GSR motor then i think you would get bumped up to H3 or H2, H1 i believe is only for hatchbacks, S2000’s, Type R’s and NSX’s. I think it depends on the mods done to the motor if you have an integra with a motor swap, that effect class placement.
