BTW, I've helped install a cusco bar before and wouldn't recommend relying on it. In comparison to the harddog bar it's not even close. The harddog bar is thicker tubing, all welded main hoop, and designed with strength in mind. The cusco bar has connection points all over the place (opportunities for failure) and the bends aren't ideal. If I was trusting my life to one or the other it would be harddog hands down.

 

Agreed. I don't think the cusco is worthless, but when I was choosing, the harddog was a no-brainer.

 

i agree... which is why i'm honestly not going on the track w/o upgrading from the cusco that was on my car when i bought it to a harddog.



Problem with everything tho... i just backed in to a damn pole (long story but i hate my apartment building and the people who drive way to fast in the garage)

and i'll need to get a new rear bumper, decent amount of metal work on the driver quarter and repaint of both quarters (and bumper).

yay for probably having to spend about 1500-2000 bucks on repairs now


Life is kickin me in the balls lately haha.

 

Wise advice from Ron!

 

Who wants to buy a racing school on wheels?

I'm 9 years in on a 27 year old house. Certain things I've been dragging my feet on.. recently resided, new fencing - and need to redo some decking now. Still cheaper than renting, but overall it's work.. and takes cash in large chunks

kinda like buying roll bars and car parts

 

Im there with you too, Alison. I just dropped a nice track duty suspension package expenses in my newly concrete paved driveway. I can park 4 cars now with room to fully open all doors side by side. Next in line is privacy fence and gate so there goes a set of R comp tires and NASA/Trackdaze/FATT track weekends until end of the year.

 

I might be old and slow but a bit wiser now, I think.

 

Fixing houses?? Concrete driveways?? Privacy fences? I thought this was the Track JUNKIE Thread! That sounds too responsible...not what a junkie would do






But seriously, so nobody has any plans to get to the track between now and OCTOBER?

 

I'm not a big fan of the Cusco roll bar but I wouldn't give pause to instructing in an S with one as long as the stock roll hoops were there for backup. I've seen several pictures of rolled S2000s--some with just roll hoops, some with Cusco roll bars and some with Elda/Hard Dog bars and all held up extremely well. The windshield support is much stronger than it looks. Honda built a tough little car and the added protection of the Cusco bar more than satisfies my safety requirements for regular track duty--and I'm 6 feet 2.
