to have an FIA certified car you need an FIA certified cage, as well as an FIA certified seat and harness system. I do believe the seat cannot be on sliders, nor can the harness be mounted via harness bar. A fuel cell is required, iirc, as well as a plethora of other modifications that essentially render your car undesirable for street use.
If you want just an FIA cage its gonna be useless. Homologation standards do expire, for Helmets and suits it is 5 years and for seats I believe around 15. 2014 just released a new standard.
Belts, bought used, are unacceptable as they are typically replaced after impacts. Just because a belt didnt fail doesnt mean it is still safe.
A window net is required for a closed cockpit vehicle. As well as emergency accessible kill switches for both you and track personnel. On top of switches, a fire suppression system is required.
Theres a bunch of appendixes on the requirements for FIA certification, many of which are publicly available at no cost. So please search for more info.
Also, keep in mind, hardly any racing sanctioning bodies require FIA certification and compliance if racing within the US. I am assuming you arent racing internationally, otherwise you would know where and how to obtain this information, therefore all of rhis is excessive and probably irrelevant to your true needs.
The ACCUS is open 9-5 I believe, located in Colorado. Calling them would not hurt you, however they dont typically humor questions of this nature.
