Danger is always present in auto racing. Race car drivers recognize the danger and take steps to reduce the risks. Aside from staying alert, the drivers ensure that their race cars are equipped with various safety devices. For the next auto racing season, this is how safety is prepared in the Acura Integra. The underlying principles in safety preparation can also be applied in other race cars.

Structure

The car already has a well-built 8-point welded-in roll cage from The ROLLCAGEGUY in Akron Ohio. I plan to add a few more bars and reinforcements before next season because I never feel quite safe enough. The bars will also serve to add some structural rigidity to the chassis. The driver's side features NASCAR style door bars that extend into the door cavity close to the outer skin. The original factory door beams are still in place. NASA allows the removal of the factory door beams if NASCAR style beams are installed with the cage. My personal opinion is that the factory beams should be left in place, at least on the driver's side.

The material used for the Integra factory beams is several times stronger than the mild steel tubing used in most amateur race car's roll cages and is required, by US Federal motor vehicle safety regulation 214, to resist a load equal to two times the curb weight of the vehicle during the first 18 inches of deformation when crushed with a 12 inch diameter steel ram. If the beam is removed from the door, you are left with a sheet metal shell typically constructed of steel less than one millimeter thick and that will provide essentially no crush resistance.

The other structural element that I've seen to be the target for weight removal in some Integras and Civics is the side center pillar gusset. This is a large steel reinforcement that bolts to the rear seat cross member and extends to the base of the center pillar (right below where the front row factory seat belt retractors mount). I'm not sure if the NASA rules explicitly allow the removal of these parts. The gussets serve to reinforce and anchor the base of the pillar and provide a substantial amount of crush resistance to the side of the vehicle during an impact. They should never be removed under any circumstance.

Fire

I'll be installing a Safecraft fire system this winter. Hand held extinguishers are legal but I'd prefer not to have to fumble around unlatching and aiming an extinguisher in the event of a fire. It is much simpler to just pull the release handle. The system uses Halon 1301, which is toxic if inhaled, but doesn't leave a residue when deployed. Hopefully I never have to use it.

Seat

I'm currently using the HRP Racing Products aluminum road-racing seat. It's essentially a Kirky deluxe road-racing seat with the HRP logo and fire resistance cover. It's a nice seat but NASA rule changes in 2007 require the use of a head restraint seat and/or a head restraint net (right side containment net). I could have kept the seat and just added the net but I like the combination of the head restraint seat and net and feel that it will provide the best level of safety.

I purchased a Racetech RT-4009WTHR seat with head restraint and their Viper side net through Harrison Motorsports. This model has provisions for a back support, which is unusual for a composite seat. We'll add an article later outlining the seat installation process.

Restraint/Harness

I'm currently using a Schroth 6-point with quick release latch. It is FIA-approved so it only has to be replaced every 5 years versus approximately every two to three years for an SFI-approved harness. I have used TeamTech harnesses up until 2005 when I purchased a HANS device. I wasn't comfortable with how the 3-inch shoulder straps of the Teamtech harness fit over the HANS device so I switched to the Schroth unit with more HANS compatible 2-inch wide shoulder webbing. Teamtech now offers a HANS compatible harness with 2-inch shoulder straps and I like the additional features they offer such as pelvis and thorax padding and a torso strap so I might be switching back soon.

HANS Device

If you enjoy having your head properly attached to your neck, this is a good investment. I don't think it will be too much longer before it becomes a requirement in SCCA and NASA club events. It's pricey but it is a relative bargain when compared to the alternatives. If your racing budget won't accommodate the purchase of the HANS (Head and Neck Restraint System) or a similar device then you should stop racing until it does. If you have a friend that competes in a different class you can always share the HANS. The helmet mounting tabs are inexpensive so this would be a reasonable way to stay safe on a budget.

Ensure Your Safety On The Roads By Getting Your Vehicles Equipped With Best Quality Altezza Taillights

Whether you say it a taillight, tail lamp, rear lamp or stop lamp, the lighting system mounted at the rear end of your car is the one that in true sense adds a ton of distinction to your vehicle. Taillight is a group of lights that comes in a cluster of one or many each has its own special function and specific location in the vehicle. There are signal lights, park lights, brake lights, and reverse lights etc. in a group of taillight to enhance the visibility of driver on the roads during the bad weather conditions or while driving in the poorly lit areas.

They are of great importance because they insure safety of driver as well as others on the road by giving them the power to detect whether there is presence of other vehicles around them. For e.g. a yellow color turn lights indicates it well whether the vehicle is turning left or right and a bright red signal taillight to warn the vehicles at the back that the car would stop. The reverse lights to help driver puts the vehicle in the reverse shift and a park light to alert oncoming drivers to the presence of the parked car. The park light is also useful for driving during foggy and rainy weather as it offers an early warning to the vehicle at the rear.

The uses of taillights are many and this is the reason that each and every driver wants to get them installed on his/her vehicles. There are many aftermarket and customized taillights available in the market to cater the demand of different car models and tastes. One of the most prestigious taillights available in the market is Altezza Taillights (also known as Euro taillights and Lexus Lights) that are known for their best quality and performance, to actually give your car the most desired Euro look.  You can choose to have chrome taillights, clear taillights, carbon fiber tail lamps, and smoked or black tail light designs, whatever fits best to your individual needs.

There are Acura Integra Altezza Taillights and also the most durable Audi Taillights to ensure your safety on the road. Alternatives to these Euro taillights are fully functional LED taillights that because of their brighter and quicker light up qualities have become a main security feature for drivers over the globe.

did my acura integra used to be automatic?

how do i fend out if my integra was automatic. theres no fance motor mounts for the conversion. i also have two hole in the shifter area, one for the shifter and another one right above it. in this url my integra doesnt just have one hole like this http://www.team-integra.net/forum/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=15&TopicID=260078 it has another one above it

Probably not because the cost of the conversion would not be cost effective.
