    Rear sway bar came off of 90 integra 2door, and I just bolted it up to where the tow hooks mount up. It was supper easy and just used the original integra links too, just mount them to the LCA's. I was in search for sway bar off of a 4 door DA integra, they are 15.9mm but 2 door are only 14.7mm still better than nothing.

    Yeah man I sold that cream wagon to someone ells in Olympia I think, I wish I could remember but I thing the guy told me that he was on HCW too. Maybe somebody seen it on here let me know, I would love to see some progress on that wagon.

    Can I ask what vehicle is behind the wagon near the quad?
  • nice job overall.. let me ask this. where does one get those same brackets that your sway bar mounts to?

    and did you weld plates to the chassis and than the roll cage to the plate?(typically 6x6 chromoly plates) if not, if you get into an accident that cage could kill you. (i work with roll cages everyday thats why)

    you should put some kind of rubber liner/protection on the bottom of your ferring.
    i didn't do it to mine and it scratched away my new paint on the roof.

    two more things:
    are you not running the roof gutter liner things?
    you should get a snowboard attachment. you can find them used for cheap.

    Yes I got the liner that you put on the edge of the doors, its not really rubber but its better than nothing on that fairing, cause that edge is sharp.

    The roof gutter liners I never got a chance to put back after painting, plus there all old, dry and cracked.

    Yeah the cage sits on plates all welded up solid, cause civic body metal is so thin its pointless to weld to it or bold up, the whole cage would be shaking and rattling when there's vibration. It wasn't really build to save lives, mostly for the fact that I have a roll cage in a wagon :wink: But then again when you start fabing something do it right the first time.

    The monster by my quad is another never ending 4 years and counting project. Its a JEEP XJ crawler also full exo cage all around, with long arm suspension, and a 4 link rear. Heres some pics, but its not finished yet

    wow i love that color. when yer ready to do my wagon ill haul it over to ya.
  • i really like that color
    good choice
  • That Jeep is sweet. I know someone that'd droll all over that beast. I like how you made it into a pickup. The tubing (exo) work is beautiful. Can I comment on the cage in the Civic now? It appears to be very well put together, and I applaud the weld plates for the base of the legs. However, the rear drop down bars won't be very effective because of how long they are. They need to be triangulated some more, or they'll just bend in when the main hoop gets pushed backwards. Might I suggest you run a diagonal between the front top of the cage by the A pillar back to the point in the back where the rear bars turn down towards the shock towers? And then run a bar accross the car between the 2 rear bars where they turn down, and a 2nd diagonal between the top rear corner on one side down to the shock tower on the other side. Also, the main hoop should have a diagonal as well. Something like this:

    551.jpg

    I know you did the cage more or less just for show, but why not add a few bars, and make it truly effective? It'll give great peace of mind. The cage you have is better than nothing, and it would help a little if you did ever end up upside down, but short of a slow roll, that baby would fold over like a house of cards.

    Oh, and when the time comes, may I please also bring my Wagon down to you for paint work?

    nice... can't wait to see that in the wagon...
  • JDMWago666JDMWago666 Senior Wagonist
    Is that a B20 in the Integra? Valve cover looks like on but I could be wrong. Still, can't wait to see this in the wagon.
  • DRMORTYDRMORTY Council Member
    That exo-cage is great!

    No its the original Integra LS engine B18B1. It looks the same as a B20.
  • JDMWago666JDMWago666 Senior Wagonist
    Oh ok, I have a B18a1 in mine and the VC looks different. Thanks
  • b18a1 has a diff valve cover than a b18b1.
