Anyone know where i can get a BOLT IN ROLL CAGE......
�
�
I will need to buy a roll cage this summer and i was wondering if any companys have a bolt in roll cage that doesnt require welding and if so how much are they...
Also as far as a costom roll cage or a kit that has to be welded how much am i looking at for a roll cage welded and all...
I will need a six piont NHRA legal roll cage and i have no idea where to look..
Any info or prices you can give me i owuld appreciate...
thanks,eric

that is where i got mine. they have them for pretty much any vehicle. the prices range from $150-700. they require some drilling which means you need an 18V drill or two.
and be careful with the drilling or this could happen:

those are pics from the aftermath when i got tired of drilling on the roll cage and decided to drill a hole in my finger.

Ouch!!!

cusco is an unsafe cage and is not legal for any on track events. go ahead and get autopower from ioport racing ( [url]www.ioportracing.com[/url] ) or ( [url]www.dgtrials.com[/url] )

Stay far far away from Cusco blingbling crap.
Get an Autopower from ioportracing.com as already mentioned.

Does anyone know how these fit in an STi? Do the full cages require cutting the dash (I know the Cusco doesn't...but apparently it isn't very highly respected)? Do the full cages, or even just the race roll bars, allow access to the back seat (I know there is an option for removable cross brace, but removing these seems to facilitate loading a 2 door car where the person entering does so through the front doors - the side bar in the rear remains)? Last, how much to these things weigh?
Any info, fotos, etc would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

I just talked to Autopower:
Full cage weights ~100lbs
Race roll bar weighs ~50lbs
Roll cage does not require cutting dash.
Rear supports bisect rear doors in either application, no remedy.
3 weeks fabrication time.

i removed my rear seats, but from what i can tell they could only be used as storage and not as a place to sit. the cage is custom fit so you dont have to remove the dash OR the door panels.

Sounds tempting...any chance you might post a pic or two of your setup? Would really help me out...

Yeah! Pics of the tubes along the dash and door panels, as well as of the rear section would be awesome. Thanks!

Adding a roll bar or cage to a street car requires you to consider some other things. [URL=http://corner-carvers.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14061]Here's a thread[/URL] you may want to read. I personally have no problem with using a roll bar in a street car, [I]with proper precautions[/I] and an understanding of the potential negatives. Others in the referenced thread disagree. Read and make your own decision.
This also opens up and entire discussion on belts, seats, seat braces, etc when you elect to head down this road. :huh:

Yeah, there are some legitimate concerns there. However, since the rear support tubes effectively eliminate access to the rear seats, and I never have anyone back there anyway, the arguments regarding rear-seat occupants are fairly moot. As for me and whomever might be in the passenger seat, we've got 5pt belts (as well as the stockers) and Sparco seats - so if I go with the race roll bar there will be no danger of collision with any front tubing, but if I go with the full cage there will be that concern. Good info.;)

I saw the IO power 4 point one installed in a WRX this weekend.

For a bolt in it is nice. I don't like how far back from the B-pillar it is. I don't like how far down the strut tower it is. Just personal things - it is a very nice bolt in - but it convinced me I might have to go custom.

Hey guys thanks a lot for the info you have given me.. Does anyone know if the AUTOPOWER roll cages are 6pt and NHRA compliant? Let me know.. thanks,eric
| CageChicane | 03-10-2004 02:30 AM |
from what i hear Autopower is used all the time for drag cars. go to the ioportracing.com website and look under the roll cages to see what sanctioning bodies they are certified for. i think it lists SCCA and NASA and one other. i am pretty sure it will be good for NHRA, at least as a starter kit.
