Good thing we don't have any tracks over here.

ShereKhan · 07-17-2009, 09:55 PM

id stick with a safety 21 5 point bolt in with added doors bars. Theres just to much going on with a lot of welded cages where it looks like a damn spider web. Some cars make it look good some don't, but its just not for me

you dont even need a cage to tandem at most tracks in japan. most places over here require a cage and firesuit to drive on the track by yourself

HYPNOTIK · 07-18-2009, 09:47 AM

When I get back to the states I will have a better cage but for now It's my DD and baby hauler so I have to work with what I got.

its not about how it looks,

tight to the headliner and the a pillars door panels looks good.

but the main focus is safety, if your getting a cage for looks your an idiot and chances are your car doeent need one

Brian · 07-18-2009, 11:10 AM

I got my cage for looks.

Jeezy240 · 07-18-2009, 11:14 AM

for right now all i have is a picture of my door bars.

the cage was done by Lethal Injection in Atlanta Georgia.
this was before the dash bar was installed.

shit theres nothing wrong with that sometimes i wish people were as relaxed here as they are there about safety equipment. like NOPI was horrible to have to spend all that money on useles shit

David B S12 · 07-20-2009, 12:37 AM

steak i still cant over how clean your welds are. didnt you do ryans manifold or something, those looked great? you went to school or something for that? are you certified?

Lucas180 · 07-21-2009, 08:45 PM

Can anyone give a rough estimate on how much a 6 point roll cage costs you ? or maybe some piks of a nice 6 point cage?

thanks

You should really try searching on your own....there are plenty here on this site to get a rough estimate on a cage. It all varies...there are bolt in, that have thru dash or escape dash, weld in cage, etc. Google 21 safety cage. I say a rough estimate will be $1200

anotherblusi · 07-23-2009, 12:14 AM

Custom six point in my s13. Low profile door bars for getting in and out easier. Left the rear diagonal out for more storage space.

Pfeiffer hard at work helping me weld the cage in... (I don't trust my mig skills yet)

One more gratuitous shot of the chassis and engine...

s13dan · 07-23-2009, 11:03 AM

I was getting close to getting my cage, then I relized I REALLY should get a new dash before its installed. So now i need to locate a blue dash.

javieraguilar91_69 · 07-23-2009, 11:22 AM

J90lude · 07-23-2009, 12:56 PM

Backintoans13 · 07-26-2009, 12:46 PM

Gonna be getting my cage done in a couple of weeks but wanted to get your guys recommendation on what size i should go with.

DOM
1.5" .095
1.5" .125
1.75" .095
1.75" .125

Thanks guys!

Maiku240sxS14 · 07-28-2009, 10:58 PM

It all depends on what you want to do with the car. What type of racing/drifting events and what there regulations are. It also depends on the weight of the car that determines whats legal size piping you should use.
