If you are serious enough to need a cage, then you should know that you need welded DOM. If its just for a show car or a place to mount harnesses on a street car (why you'd need harnesses on a street car I dont know, but regardless) then the cusco will suffice.

yea i didn't know that NONE of the racing organizations would accept a bolted in cage. At first i thought it was just a couple of the more serious racing organizations. Anyhow in order to remedy it i am going to have it welded (should be fairly easy).

this is correct - the cusco cage isn't legal to run with any of the major racing orgaziations.

If it doesn't, aside from putting it in a show car, I can't see any purpose for it at all.
there is an optional bar for the cusco cage; however, it's not good for anything ... well you could possibly mount a camera on it, but that's about it.

its legal in D1 - at least it was last time I checked (might have since changed)

the optional bars as mentioned are not designed to be harness bars

+1 the cage is D1 legal, and I believe there are a few people who have welded them (240s, Civics) to make them NHRA legal? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I also have the rear carbon bar and it's definitely not for harnesses.

I purchased a set of short Takatas and plan on running the Sparco bar underneath, might have to fab a little but should fit fine. The cage really ****ed up my seatbelts and they no longer retract without the bar getting in the way.

i was thinking of like nasa, scca, pca, pboc, etc...

you might get away with it if you weld it for some of the racing orgs, i know that the bars are not thick enough for nasa.
