Hope that helps. This is also before Steve added Trusses i think they're called. I'll see if I can find more up to date pictures of it.

[blitz180]

^^^ That cage is wild. What does it compete in?
If you want a wild s13 cage I can try to find some pics I had from andy yen's autolink s13... It was pretty nice.

[articdragon192]

It road races, I dunno if in a series or not. It's set up really well. But yeah, those are old pics. New pics will show how wild it really is.

[91gst]

heres my ita prepped integra, im stripping it down for paint and a rebuild. the cage is built by Kearney Racing in Capitol Heights, MD

[johngriff]

Thanks, keep them comming!

[TurbLu]

Did he raise the suspension mounting point for more travel???

http://www.navidharandi.com/Corner3/Albums/98%20Integra%20type%20R%20Roll%20cage%20Mike/album/39.jpg

If he did...amazing work... Imagine if how much better we would ride with even another inch of suspension travel when dumped...

[DJPimpFlex]

heres some pics of mine. I bought the shell this way, so I dont know who made it, and its not FD or SCCA legal right now becuase it doesnt have a main cross and it penitrates the firewall, but its still bad ass. Stiff as fuck.

[Hailtothesilvia]

i wonder how that works. looks like a mini jgtc setup

[Brian]

pretty simple if you just look at it.

[DJPimpFlex]

well I think he was refering to how it works as in if it works good or bad. It looks like it should be ok.

[ae86driftn]

car competes in SRX in NASA an s13 hatch. Pics coming later of door bars etc.

BTW DJ-Pimpflex, if you have been to any of the FD events this year, you would notice quite a few cages wouldn't pass either, yet they competed nonetheless. As long as you have ample roolbar padding they will look the other way. Just liek no-FIA seats.

[hitman]

ill try to get some pics of mine this weekend or something. johnyy5 that cage is dumpster spec... seriously.

yah Sam did that cage, family friend FTW :P

[chmercer]

pimpflex, is your dash suede wrapped or flocked? more info? did you do it yourself or buy it like that.

[LB.Motoring]

he bought it like that....

he really hasnt done anything to it yet... its still fresh to him.

[DJPimpFlex]

yea I bought the shell like this. Thats really cool that I might be ok with this cage. I'm ok with putting a cross in, but the firewall shit is annoying. Motor is going in friday, and as soon as I get my fuel cell shit it should be running again. I spent all today stripping all the shit off of it. The dash is suede wraped.

[sideview_180sx]

the suede wrap is to help fight glare in your eyes and on the windshield. Usually that is the intended purpose for putting faux-suede/suede on a dash for a race car

WTF You bought team pacman's s13? I didn't know he sold the shell. I wonder how much he sold his motor for.

[DJPimpFlex]

^OMG are you serious?!?! That is SOO cool. I had no idea..lol.. i thought it was bling factor..

[DJPimpFlex]

WTF You bought team pacman's s13? I didn't know he sold the shell. I wonder how much he sold his motor for.

Hell yea, stole it basically.

[nrg]

what? it was stolen in the first place? I can't seem to find his buildup threads on honda-tech or freshalloy. I remember he had one on this forum too.
edit: nm, just found his for sale threads. I remember when that car was being built at AutoLink. It was alittle overdone IMO. hehe

[DJPimpFlex]

no I got it VERY cheep, I basically stole it.

[Johny5]

ill try to get some pics of mine this weekend or something. johnyy5 that cage is dumpster spec... seriously.

thanks bro-diddley! it was a basic race 4pt and it cost $200, did you expect more out of it?

[DJPimpFlex]

^yea it looks fine to me, so whatever man. If it gets you on the track.....

[hitman]

[Flybert]

How is that FD legal? From what I remember, you need an X bar for sidebars or nascar style sidebars with a minimum of two vertical bars linking them. Why did you mount the bars to the wheel wells? Seems like a weak spot to mount it. Isn't the main hoop pretty close to your head with it placed so far forward. Are you really short or something? What's the point of those two vertical bars just below the harness bar?

sorry, i dident post that we havent finnished it compleatly, had to rush it to the bodyshop.

no, the main has plenty of clearence, my seat is really low on custom momo mounts, as fo the wheewell mounts, thats only one set of down braces, the other run to the rear of the car

[chmercer]

that cage is completly retarded. who made that thing. that b pillar fitment is worse than an autopower. also whoever made thoes "gusset" plates, the point of drilling holes into the plates is that you bevel the edges with a die to make the metal more rigid, that cage just looks like sombody took a hole saw to them. also the jumpin jack flash lightning bolt bars on the middle make no sense. also the sheet metal in the wheel tubs isnt very structural. also your door bars arent legal for much of anything. also you have an s15 front end. also it looks like you are running cooper tires up front with no stretch.

yes, yes they did.

cages

on cars

is silly

why cant some of you refuse to wear seat belts and speed up "darwinism"

I'm LOL right now. This shit is just so fucking funny. I love the terms


Redneck Spec.

Oh man. I'll be finishing up my cage this weekend. If its not to dumpster spec I'll report back.... Even though FC Cage won't really do much good in an S chassis. But the design of mine is sweet.

[justinhustle]

i heard that when usdmsilvia signed up for zilvia

it was back when he had to log on with a c prompt in ms dos

i also happened to hear that if he wouldve ever bothered to pull out, he too couldve bought a cusco dumpster spec cage used by like everyone who doesnt go custom

*see i stayed on topic*

OMG!!! Sick car. I have no money...

[McRussellPants]

I like the cage... I'd add some more support to that tension rod bracket though.

[Johny5]

christ thats hot, keep it coming! tension rod brackets don't appear to need more support due to their natural U design. but thats just personal opinion.

[Gavster]

McRussellPants, I will keep an eye on them, but the bracket that the power brace bolts up to is 10ga. cold-rolled steel, its tough! I also did a double pass on the bracket when i welded it and I think it will hold....none the less, I will be keeping my eye on it when I get the car on the road.

[driftstyre]

I thought I'd post a few pics of my cage as a few of them weren't on the site for some reason. Its not the best cage to take ideas from and after going through it once there are a few things I would do again if I were to build another 240 cage. I'm not sure what the rules are for formula D or the newer SCCA rules but they usually prohibit a lot of added reinforcement unless it is signed off as an FIA cage. Depending on your height (I am 6'7") I would move the main hoop back a few more inches up onto the rear seat sill. From looking at the most recent research from side impacts, you want the door bars protuding out as far as possible to absorb as many gforces as possible before they hit you. My X-bars would designed differently if done again. The jack stands are highly recommended if you work on your car at events. The floor was also redone to allow the seat to sit about 2-3 inches lower.

[chmercer]

wow at the custom jack stand. thats way cool. hahahah

[DJPimpFlex]

^ OMG!!!! you said something positive.....Was that so hard...lol. Bill, everytime someone says that Schassis are not good for grip racing, I send them to your web site..lol

[upSLIDEdown]

That shit's tits. I saw the car @ GT Live sitting on the stands. There are 4 of them, and they can be put on with the body panels on the car, so like Bill said, they're great for events. I loved the idea the second I saw it. Post up more pics of the mounts for those if possible, it was hard to see where they were at VIR with the body panels on.

[SoSideways]

Bill's car is pretty much the other super bad ass S-chassis alongside the Enjuku silver drift car, as far as the engineering that went into it.

[hitman]

both right behind the weld s14

[chmercer]

^ OMG!!!! you said something positive.....Was that so hard...lol.

because this guy posts actual cool shit, and not like, hey look i got ebay widefenders for my s13, or similar zilvia-esque shit

[driftstyre]

The jackstands are very common in rallying and are fairly easy to make. They are made with mild steel tubing but are more than strong enough for each corner of the car. The jacking points are mild steel tubing as well, reinforced with 1/8" plate on the outer and inner rocker panel. The nicest ones I have seen so far are the swrt titanium ones. very nice.

pretty neat cage being built in a 240z in sweden. i like the design of the doorbars, would they be scca legal? my only gripe is, i dont understand why they didnt make the dash bar 1 piece straight across, seems like in a side impact that would be a weak point...

pretty neat cage being built in a 240z in sweden. i like the design of the doorbars, would they be scca legal? my only gripe is, i dont understand why they didnt make the dash bar 1 piece straight across, seems like in a side impact that would be a weak point...


That cage fails at life.

Anyone else here have any comments about that cage?

[LB.Motoring]

It just looks it was made as they went along, and they thought that would be enough structure.... or something...

it looks so random, plus it goes through the firewall....

props on doing it, but smells a hint of jenky w/ that front dash loop i mean angle...

Is the rear strut bar necessary with the struts already connected?

Also, does anyone now the technicalities of roll cages. Some run the whole car, some don't. Some run gussetted section, some don't. Some connect 3-4 pipes in 1 section, some don't; get my point?

[g6civcx]

Bill, I have a couple of questions for you.

Do you think the rectangular panel that used to be where I cirled below is worth keeping? I'm going to at least have to cut holes through it for the bar. It looks really flimsy any way. It's just glued on.

What's going on with the floorboard here?
http://www.dentsport.com/gallery/d/4382-2/floor_mod2.jpg

Why did you decide to slice off the roof? Couldn't you just move the main hoop through the windshield?

[articdragon192]

Bill, I have a couple of questions for you.

What's going on with the floorboard here?
http://www.dentsport.com/gallery/d/4382-2/floor_mod2.jpg



I'll take a guess and say he chopped off the cat hump in oder to achieve the lowest seating position possible,

[supportTHEezln]

Yea, he said that earlier...

And cutting the roof off of race cars to cage it is very common with GOOD fabricators. It makes it a lot easier, especially with all that top cage work he did.

And that sheet metal in the back isn't worth much especially with a cage, haha.

[SoSideways]

Yeah, seriously. The purpose of the roll cage, other than to protect the occupants in case of a roll, is to strengthen the chassis rigidity, which should be much stiffer than what the factory roof can offer while in tact.

So he's not really losing anything by chopping up the roof to build that badass cage. After the cage is finished, the roof is just rewelded on so he doesn't get rained on and so there's a place to mount the front windshield lol

[driftstyre]

g6civic,
Pretty much what everyone just said. That sheetmetal in the back is just a rear seat support. There are some spot welds in it (nissan hides them very well).
The floor was just dropped down because I couldn't fit in a 240 otherwise. My head makes a bulge in S2000 and Miata soft tops!
The cage was more or less done when I cut the roof off. I had to weld a couple of tiny areas that couldn't be reached with the TIG torch otherwise. I also wanted to cut out the sunroof and lighten the roof section a bit.

[g6civcx]

Thanks for the reply, Bill. Do you work on other 240s in your shop?

This thread inspired me. I spent the past few days scraping away the tar patches and prep the surfaces for welding. I now have 1 whole square foot of clean metal. Many more square feet to go :(

[Team Rootbeer]

just finished it last tuesday, painted today. also seam welded the chassis in as many spots i could get to

I dont know a whole lot about what makes a roll cage good or bad. I have been watching them build this car for quite a while. Someone posted a link to there website and every few months he posts a new vid online of all the work. Watching the car transform is awsome. They do some amazing fab work. IMO anyways... heres the link. Weather you liek the cage or not I can gaurentee you will liek the rest of the work. Right click and save as is the best way to veiw the vids but they will stream also...

http://www.voodoo-people.com/~daz/mull/wmv/

hopefully noone has psoted this link on ehre already.. but yea the editing in the vids is cool too.

enjoy,

James

oh yea and once Dan at DGR makes some progress on my dime I will ahe some pics to add as well. I cant wait.

[WhiteGLX]

the part that makes the above cage good or bad....is the dash bar, door bars, and dash bar support, no main hoop diagonal, and no harness bar. I didntlook to intesnly at it, but those are the things that stand out hte most as not legal, or confusing.

on the plus side, it ties into the front struts, and fits very snugly everywhere else, and all the welds look good cleanand strong.

i will bring my cage through the fire wall to the front struts, use NASCAR door bars or an x-brace when i complete my cage next year, for now my 4pnt is sufficient.

[freeman]

which is better? weld on cage or the the bolt on?

[DJPimpFlex]

LOL....UHH. for what? Bolt in is easier, but weld in has a lot more performance gains. Search a bit.....

[yokotas13]

i completely forgot about this thread

I have a bolt in 7pt cage
I didnt want to go weld in, becuase im sure ill be taking it out next year for a weld in. I just wanted something now.
Plus i liek to take the front bars out for DD and the rear crossbar for the track trip so i can fit more stuff in my car. Its hard to fit 6 wheels, a 10x10 tent, a few bags and other crap in the back of a 180
But ill go weld in with removable parts in certain places.and i got it from up gargae for 200 bucks cause it had no bolts

ROFL, if you can't look at that cage and be able to tell its a total asspile, you don't need to be posting in this thread.

super rofl at dash bar "hey, this thing will be stronger if we cut it in two and put a bend in it right?"
"dunno man, lets do it."

[supportTHEezln]

I do not condone the cage above. With that said, it looks like the dash bar is solely there for more stiffening, many org. (including D1, FD etc) don't even require any dash bar at all. And that style of door bar is relatively common.

[Ian]

If properly connected I can see those door bars working just as well as an X...But I'm no engineer nor am I a cage builder

no its not padded, yes i know its dangerous, but its in the works, just gota order the pading.

[mr_240sx]

whats the metal bracket near the dome light? is it some sort of camera mount?

http://static.flickr.com/138/317708601_64bf2e3fe7.jpg

[WhiteGLX]

just my opinion, but that cage wont be very safe padded or not, the front down bars have too many bends, not going to do anything in any type of roll situation. No diagonal bar or harness bar on the main hoop either..yeesh. Good luck with it tho.

[chmercer]

ugh shut up

bolt in japan cages are the shit

i want one

it probably wont save you if you do 30 barell rolls down pikes peak

but neither will anything

[Dousan_PG]

i love my S21 cage
might not bge the greatest
but im drifting in 3rd gear on open course
imight flip but im not rolling down Mt. Whitney or Everest
people make it liek if u dont have cage..YOU WILL DIE

i got few vids of people flipping with Cusco/S21 cages and walking away. and some crazy crashes

if i was into road racing at 160mph i would get something else but i got a bolt in just to appease the faggot rule makers.

mine looks like yokota's but with white padding

sorry guys safety is my #1 priority, spare no expense when your at high speeds. I do roadrace and have speeds close to 160 at certain courses, if anythgin goes wrong at a road course, i woud liek to be protected and have faith in my car to protect me. I realize some people just want to squeez by and get through tech inspection, juts not my style, i have seen more than enough crashs at the track to know how small mistakes and high speed dont end up well, a good rollcage can save yoru life even in a front end accident. I am not saying anyone will automatically die, btu the rollcage is only neccessary for that one time, that one single time something goes terrible awry, and i personally would liek to walk away from an accident broke because i spent he money on a good cage ratehr then with broken bones because i wanted to save money and be JDmtyte.

i do realize this forum is mosty drifting oriented and most people are trying to save a $, or ust do teh minimum to egtby tech inspection, (ive seen teh cars at events and shops) and extreme safety does indeed cost some $, but it wort the money u save on gettin stupid things checked out at the hospital with repeat visits.

id love to haev a weld in, but for the price that i paid for this one, im not complaining.

Mine is a safety 21 as well (so ive been told, no markings on it and up garage didnt know either)

[driftstyre]

The Cusco and Safety 21 cages shown weren't designed to be "roll cages". They are a roll bar with the front A-pillar bars added more for stiffness than anything. I haven't seen a huge amount of drifting but with the high levels of lateral grip and the fact that you are already scrubbing off speed most of the time makes me wonder why they mandate more than a 4 point roll bar. It doesn't look like there are, or would be concern for any kind of major "off".

If anyone has seen a Pug 307 WRC, it is one of the most extensive cages ever built due to the fact that it started out as a convertable. I have a good amount of WRC and Group N cage photos somewhere. I will see if I can get them on my site.

[McRussellPants]

only Formula D does really, my geuss is its just to make them seem more legitimate.

D1 allows cuscos, they go faster than I do. thats good enough for me.

[driftstyre]

I'm gonna post a few here. Most are either touring car or rally cages.

Why would you put the time to make a weld in cage and send the rear bars to the fender wells? And for SCCA and NASA your bar from drivers head to passanger floor must be one piece.
