Formula-D Pro-Am Leagal cages
Wats up guys? I'm in the planning stages for my Formula-D/Pro-Am FC. I'm wondering if you guys know if a cage similar to these specs would pass for tech?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT I'm planning on running a Ford 5.0L HO motor out of a 94-95 Mustang GT/Cobra rebuild with ARP and FRPP hardware, centerforce dual friction clutch, Some kind of wide aggresive offset wheels, Stance GR+ coilovers...ect Like I said I'm still in the planning/saving up ci-zash stage, but I've got a lot of ideas. If everything goes ok i'm trying not to go much over my $6K budget. Any positive comments, words of wisdom, ideas, and leads on possible sponcorship(s) would br GREATLY appreciated :bigthumb: |
well, the best bet would be to download the FormulaDrift rulebook. no bolt in cages will pass tech.
if you can fabricate then you will understand the measurements/specs of what theyre telling you is, and isn't legal for their series. its pretty straight forward. i'm going out on a limb here, and assuming you can't fabricate, so i'd suggest downloading the rulebook, and taking it to a shop who can set you up with a price, and let them handle it so the cage can do its job, and protect you. expect to spend anywhere from $1k (basic material cost) upwards to $3k alone. the rulebook is where i'd start first though, because there's alot more "cost" involved than the cage which is a main contributing factor to alot of people wanting to step up fully... its tough, however i wish you the best of luck, and keep up with some updates of your build! rulebook: http://www.scribd.com/doc/27483807/1...eline-100223-2 also keep in mind that is only for "PRO-AM" events. if you plan on getting to nationals, your car has to fully conform to the professional FD 2010/11 rulebook. there may be a revision for 2011, so keep checking the rulebook. |
Hey red92vr4buckey, Thanks so much! I relly appreciate it! I am stripping the car out today and I plan to get some pics up today aswell.

What would be the biggest difference in this cage vs the 1st one i posted? Which would you guys recommend? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ategory=107070
They're both from the ame company and same price. Which would more considered for drifting? |
The ebay cage wont pass fd tech. I believe fd cage requires 2 door bars parallel or nascar style..
Its a nice cage, but wont pass fd tech :( |
thats the broke dick racing cage. you can call them up. give them the specs required by the sanctioning body and they can make a cage that will fit for you. i went through those guys for my 24hrs of lemons cage and the tech guy said the tubing was well beyond what they required.
bd is good people |

dont remember.. somewhere around 7-800 to my door.
gotta remember that they send you a bunch of cut up and bent tubes with no instructions or parts list/parts numbers. you have to do all the thinking, notching, cutting and welding yourself. i would not recommend this for a first time cage build unless you have about 30hours of spare time and are really good at welding and general fab work and ok is good enough. |
