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

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

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

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.

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...

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.

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

Those are some nice weldings!.

J90lude · 07-23-2009, 12:56 PM

Seems like I might have a insecure wallet soon haha

in my car i have 1.75 .095 DOM

i like it. but it also adds a little weight.

it depends on what you wanna do with it.

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.

S14_Kouki · 08-03-2009, 01:22 AM

my cage built by me

WhiteGLX · 08-05-2009, 08:54 PM

Full NASA/SCCA legal cage for road racing. 1.625"x0.120" tubing.

teamsprock · 01-22-2010, 11:45 AM

Trying to keep this thread alive! Here's my cage so far. Will probably add some more bars and gusseting. Either a kidney bar or another full bar to make for X door bars, although these are very easy to get in so the kidney bar may be the best choice for me.

C-unit · 01-22-2010, 11:53 AM

anyone has any tips on painting the top of the cage???

teamsprock · 01-22-2010, 11:58 AM

I think I am going to use POR and a foam brush. SHould be able to get into some pretty tight spots. But I'm with you anyone with tips on painting it I would also love to know.
