Roll Cage??

[youUGLI]

does anyone know where i could get a roll cage and or trunk cage from?

[mike]

Trunk cage????? Never heard that one.................... A proper cage will cost you thousands at fabrication shop. A bolt in cage, or one made out of muffler tubing can do more harm then good. Unless you are a major safety nut, or plan on tracking the car, for street use you don't need one in todays cars.

is the trunk cage to protect the trunk monkey?

check out autopower. they sell weld-in kits for cheaper than custom. i thought about a cage and decided against it, but if you do it, use the correct kind of padding and use racing harnesses in your car. a cage by itself would likely be more dangerous than not having one.

I agree with mike,I proper cage will cost you about two thousand to customer build.

I don't recommend one for the street though...at least not this one. If the car does roll...and you are not wearing a helmet or harness...your head will split like a watermelon.

Thats an autopower cage, they are a heavy boat anchor, not for a street car, for a weekend track car for added safety when used with a helmet and a harness, like you said, in an accident it will smash your head open, or worse. A proper cage requires gutting the car and a fab shop. A strong cage will tear the floor or the tubing before the weld gives. I use to build GT3 cup cars before I went back to BMW so I have some clue as to what I'm talking about.

Aren't real roll cages supposed to the a horizontal bar behind the front seats to attach the harness?

[mike]

Yeah, thats the bar the harness attaches to so you don't get fucked up in an accident.

I dont think safety is the real goal here so just get some PVC from Homo Depot and make yourself a cheap cage. Paint it silver when your done and nobody is wiser and you will look sew kewl with money left in your pocket....! ;)
