I cancelled my order for the pre-fabbed cage...
Now I'm making a complete custom cage... A much better design to tell you the truth...

We are taking some ideas from this cage... Along with the tons of pics of 240 cages that I have...
Jackson Rally Open Class STI Build - DezertRangers.com

Especially how the top a pillar is done, how the cage is mounted to the chassis, and how the front section between the dash bar and the front shock towers...

^^Dammn, beautiful cage! The majority of those welds are suuuper sexy! How come they didn't box the rear shock towers completely?

ps. I'm a friend of Nasif and Daryl's. Daryl told me a long time ago about how you smoked Nasif in your stockish car at Buttonwiillow a while back.. haha

Haha... You wait till you see the todo list my friend!...

He's knocking out the Dodge Ram project before starting on mine but the design and materials are ready to go...

Once it starts, it'll move pretty quick... Within weeks...
Some people have been asking about fabbing up LCAs and cages but let's see how mine comes out...

I can't wait for mine but here are some pics from a couple days ago...









or here is the link to where I posted it on my blog...

i'm not sure what u want to do with ur car, but the cage that u order it little too thick. ( according to SCCA pro.) but it will be fine it just more weight to ur car. and u need atlease 2 bars from main hoop to a-pillar to compete in pro class that only if u want to caompete pro-class Formula Drift
PS. formular d use same rule with SCCA PRo

That rallycar cage is pretty nice but looks a bit overkill for a track car. I wouldn't go so overboard with bracing the rear shocktowers, just from the standpoint of diminishing returns and the weight penalties.

This might help http://www.scca.org/documents/Solo%20Rules/2008_Solo_Rules_2.pdf

1.5 .095 DOM is all you need, keep your bars to a minimum, your lap times will thank you later.

Be careful with an off-road fabricator as we tend to over build.

Good luck with the build

Just a few things:

Awesome project! I love the fact that you're going all out with it, do it right to do it once...

Give us some updates! I wanna see where she's at now.

Last, get your guy some new welding gloves. Flash burns suck, and I can see the majority of this fingers through those whack-ass things!
