ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:
http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=144
Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

                    In crash tests, the distance between the driver's head and the roof, sides, etc... of the interior of the car are taken into consideration. By installing a roll cage, you are putting a steel bar (or whatever you choose to make it out of) about 4" closer to your skull.
                    Unless you drive on a daily basis wearing a helmet, this greatly increases the chances of you getting brained in what may be a somewhat minor accident.

                    Yes, you can pad it... and that makes it even closer to your head. You can break your neck on a padded steel bar.

                    The bars that go up near your head are obviously the most dangerous ones. The bar that fits behind the seats is probably the best one if you want something like that. Autopower has plenty of options.

                    Also, you are making significant changes to the rigidity of the vehicle by adding a cage. This will affect handling. Unless you're used to it, your car may not react as you expect in an emergency. That could also be dangerous.
                    OMG someone actually said it

                    Deev is VERY correct. A roll cage can actually be lethal in the wrong circumstances.
                    Normally caged cars are used in conjunction with the driver being required to wear a helmet and a harness.

                    As Deev said, (well maybe not exactly) but imagine hitting your self in the head with a peice of 2" tube. Now imagine throwing your whole body weight at that tube at 60mph . . . It really hurts doing it to your head with your hands, so what would your body mass + speed do . . .

                    If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

                            i was reading this and thought i'd throw in that all tubing is measured in outside diameter (o/d) and wall thickness. i hadnt seen that question answered yet.
