Ca_laurier · 10-26-2007, 07:24 PM

s13hector · 10-27-2007, 05:03 AM

bro is not that i'm a pretty boy is that i want somethink nice for my car,my cars is in mind condition,i don't wanna put somethink that look like shit and i would like to keep the panels

this is my car when i got like 5 years ago ,is wast stock ,still has the original paint and yes is original and lloking good now it five lock 300zx brakes ,manual seatbelt conversion all bushing done new fuel lines ,180sx bumper,sone to be making at lest 450 on a ka-t ,so like i said before i wanna put somethink nice that it will also help me handle better

sideview_180sx · 10-27-2007, 05:36 AM

suspension makes it handle better. get suspension, and i mean full suspension. learn to drive with low power. get lsd. bucket seat. learn to drive again. then go up in power. follow those rules to become a better driver. dumbasses use power as a crutch. and do track events. experience on the street is stupid. push your limits on track.

B Love · 10-27-2007, 11:22 AM

Theres alot of other things you can do for handling before you think about a cage.

projectRDM · 10-27-2007, 03:30 PM

A cage makes a car a lot less streetable, and you'll need to do a lot of cutting to make the interior trim go back in, which looks like shit. There's also no point in a cage for the street unless you wear a helmet everywhere you go. Any chassis rigidity gained can be had by using other parts.

But if you're still deadset on it, the Autopower cage sucks, the fitment is awful and the finish is cheap as hell.

Mark my fuckin words. by this post and others cusco product is about to jump off in sales. Thanks to one crashing member.

thanks for the rep on my truth whoever you are. lol

whiterps13 · 10-29-2007, 05:56 PM

Broadfield is running a 6 point Cusco with ALL interior panels and seats still in. It would be impossible to cut a compound angle perfectly in the panel though.

The trick is to get some scrap interior panels from a junkyard, and then cut them to go around the cage and install them. From that point, just take masking tape or something else (cardboard, duct tape, etc.) to flush up around the cage, sort of like making a mold. Take off the tape or whatever you decide to use, and directly translate that 'mold' to your desired panels.

If that doesnt make sense I have no better way of explaining it.
