i need to know if anyone hase a rollcage and where did you get if from

 

Auto Power makes some that bolt in. Corksport has those also.

They have a roll bar and a full cage also.

I think they are 400~ for the roll bar and 800~ for the full cage.

 

This offroad guy here in town is making mine, Well... he owns an offroad shop, but he also drags muscle cars so hes gonna make it all NHRA legal and everything, its gonna cost 1400 bucks 8 point cromoly.

Those aren't cages those are conversation piece's for ricer's!

A real cage is something that goes from the front strut towers all the way to the back strut towers, and everyplace inbetween. You know something that you would have to buy a bender, and what not to make it with.

 

If you do some serious racing, you better get that junx welded in.

 

i'm planning on buying another rx and its going to have a chevy v8 conversion in it. with the enginei should run 11s and 10s on nos and to run those times at my local track i have to have a rollcage.

 

You need to get a copy of whatever Sanctioning Body you are racing under. Read and understand them BEFORE you buy or Build a Cage.

BTW, Just having access to a bender and a under-powered welder for the job, and bending up some Exhaust tubing does not make a Rollcage, IT creates an UNSAFE condition.

Even worse, having a non-conforming cage is going to get you banned from some events that you could have run if you did not have ANY cage.

Chromemoly is not a magic material, Unless it is PROPERLY welded and Stress relieved it is actually weaker than Mild Steel.

 

Search the race tech board this has been covered often, lots of information to be read and I've contributed often enough. lol

 

thanks guys

I bought a roll bar from these guys.

Click on the Original Parts link. It is really well made. I had mine powdercoated for 55 bucks locally. It comes painted black but it's a thin paint and will scratch easy. The tubes and bolt tabs are thick.

 

JEGS's has cages for our cars, i dont rember off hte top of my head if there bolt in or weld in but i know they have 8pt there

its under chassie-> other cages i belive

 

My cage was built by Kirk racing, the owner of the shop ITS races an FC. www.kirkracing.com They also advertise in various sports car magazines.


So my 6pt. welded cage with dual door bars is rice because SCCA ITS Club Racing rules do not permit going through the firewall to the strut towers?

 

yeah I want to go to mazdaracing.com school next year and they require a roll bar for verts

 

Yep, guess my Autopower, SCCA Approved cage is just RICE, according to the ALL-KNOWING Mr. Simpson. Wonder what other PEarls of Wisdom will come forth from "little Mr. know-it all"?

 

Banzai- Did you get the full cage or just the roll bar?

 

I have a 4 point cage. Its adequate for my Solo II excursions. Provides the proper mounting points for my harness (which I don't wear on the street)

 

Do you have any pics? Also did you buy direct from Autopower?

 

Mine was purchased from Autopower Almost 20 years ago. It was originally for the Toy Corolla I Aut0-x'd. Now its been modified and is ready to install in the seven

 

Cory, you should not be the one to talk.

Just for the record the only person to declare what is rice and what is not is RarestRX.

 

Does anyone have a JEG's cage kit installed?

 

u could try this company

my cage:

 

man that looks awsome

 

Anyone ever check the amount of weight that is added to the car after the cage?
