Ok, considering I might need to acquire a roll cage for my daily driver, considering the time slips I might be getting when my car is done, which ones are required for drag racing, and which one won't be dangerous in a daily driving accident situation, I have no front or rear bumper supports and I want something to kind of counteract the safety issues with that....

 

I am not super familiar with NHRA cages, but I do know that their door bars are designed differently and that many of the common road racing cages are not NHRA legal (I just remember seeing that warning while hunting for cage info). Also, anything with a halo will be potentially dangerous with no helmet.

 

12.99 or faster...its going to be a fast R

EDIT: 11.99 or faster; You know what I meant It's late.

you mean 11.99 or faster right T?
13.99 to 12.99 a helmet is a must. 11.99 to 11.00 a jacket, and cage is needed I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong. Oh yeah plus a few other little items are also needed.

 

11.99 or faster....12.99 aint **** in the eyes of NHRA or idrc. I am gonna get one simply because of the huge increase in handling. 6 point is what you looking for. That is legel until 9.99 BTW

 

Will any of these protect me better for daily driving.....

 

a full chromoly steel cage? Yes!

 

where can I purchase one of these, preferably a bolt in one, with padding

 

Depends on the design. Again, big metal tubes by your head should NOT be taken lightly.

 

bolt in cages are not NHRA legal... for a unibody car you must have the bars welded to a 6"x6" plate of a certain thickness...

you will be best off witha custom built cage...

a couple of my friends with supras have cage kits, and I have seen custom ones.. the cutom ones are much nicer, and not much more expensive...

a good custom cagebuilder usually only charges $150 a point.. I have seen pretty good work for $100 a point

a 6pt kit usually cost at around $500 with shipping (shipping steel is expensive as you can imagine) then you still have to pay a cage builder a couple hundred to weld it in... not worth it in my opinion

 

oh yeah, you will have to be an acrobat to get in and out of your car quickly once you have a cage, unles you have removable sidebars, which add a little money, but are definately worth it imo
