hey im new here but i was wondering if anybody has or knows somthing about putting a rollcage in a 2nd gen Rx ? and where you would weld it too and what do you have to cut. its just that i take my car out to the tracks once in awhile and id feel much safer with one. thanks in advance

 

Roll cages are pretty simple. First you're going to want to rip all your stock plastics out so you can run the cage bars to everything. It either that or cut holes in them and that can get tricky and can turn out looking like crap. After that you going to wanna weld to the rear strut towers where you hook up the rear sway bar. Generally you want to make an X between the rear towers. Then run a bar from each rear tower on the bottom to the firewall or even better cut it and run it all the way to your front strut. Do the same to the top of the strut tower up to the center pillar with a bar running down to lower support right behind the door. Then run the top bar to the forward A pillar and down again to the lower bar that runs right under the door. Do this on both sides and it should come together nicely. Finally just get a front strut bar and everything should be nice and strong. Good luck man.

 

If you have to ask, find someone qualified to build the cage. This is a critical safety device and should not be designed of installed by the inexperienced.
