Further proof that people who modify Honda's are insane.

That's awesome!! 😀😀😀😀 That is the epitome of "Necessity is the Mother of Invention" personified!!! The guy used cast iron pipe!! LMAO!

All the weight he saved by gutting the interior, he put right back in with that damn solid steel rollcage. Hahahahah! What a tool...

Doesn't even have to die.... just do a test on a car and show the amount of damage that will result and the chance of death.... anyone wanna go in on a lawsuit?

No he's not - he put a disclaimer in the auction:
" Remember roll bar is not a substitute for safe and careful driving. Therefore we do not gaurentee your safety. "

I have made a roll bar cage for an old VW bug dragster in high school and we sure as hell did not use galvanized plumbing pipe. We used 1 ½ inch black pipe with a ¼ in lip and welded it together.

Seat Belts have the same thing, but if a seat belt fails is faulty or fails to retain the passenger properly, you can sue.
 
It's not the type of pipe that's the problem....

There are no cross braces. It's basically just a box. We all know how sturdy a box is at the corners, it's not at all difficult to lay a rectangle over on it's side. That's why the store cardboard boxes flat and have you pop them back into a square shape to use them, because they're real strong at the corners. Also, you can tell that it's strong by the fact that the pipes aren't even welded together. Apparently, they're glued with some plumbing adhesive. Also no mention is made of cutting the carpet or welding to the chassis, which is required of a decent roll cage.

real roll cage

thats like dump trucks hauling gravel and pasting a big sign on the back saying they are not responsible for objects falling from their trucks. These guys can still get their asses sued.

It also doesn't look as though it would tie into the frame of the car really well. Also, the "roll cage" only covers the two rear passengers and the cargo area. Anyone else notice how the driver and front passenger aren't even in the "roll cage" area? If this guy doesn't get sued, I'm going to market a "light weight" PVC version for "decoration only". Haha
