Do any of you guys have rollcages in your cars? I am entering a 1989 Si in improved production, and I need a cage. Any suggestions on designs, companies, or bolt-in versus weld in? Thanks

 

definitely do a weld-in cage. its much stronger.

as for designs or companies, i have just been looking around at people's cage designs to get ideas for when i do one. you should consult the rulebook for the class that you are running in to see if there are cage specs.

 

Can someone list some sites where I could find some roll cages? Bolt-ons, prefered

 

here is one site.

Agreed!

 

yeah who makes them?
and i am in hawaii. should i try to find a shop that builds them, or ship on from a Co. that makes, and have a shop weld it in?
and how much about do they go for. for a 8 point cage?

 

Wade at wmr spent over a g for his cage. Try calling mikies metal works and get a quote from them. I may try and get a cage from io port.

 

How fast you gotta run before needing a roll cage? 10 second and below?

 

11.99 or below. However, he is inquiring for ROAD racing, not DRAG racing. I'd get one done custom. Find someone who does it "on the side" (in their garage). I've seen some very nice cages made DIY style, just need a rule book for sizing. Just make sure you see the person's work BEFORE hand. HTH, Overkll

 

all good info here. for overkll.
