Default How does this cage look?

Race prepped ITR's are popping up all over the place. How does this cage look from a NASA Honda-Challenge vantage point? The car apparently has a NASA logbook. Thanks

Looks to be 100% legal. The only thing that might get you is if the diagonal for the driver is one solid bar.

But that depends on when the car was logged booked, so it could be a non issue

From what I can see in the pictures appears to be missing protection in the foot well area, should have a bar from the front of the A pillar hoop to the inside firewall in the foot well area to help prevent your legs from being crushed by the firewall being pushed back towards the rear of the car.

I know Jim Pierce, he does good work and races with NASA. He also does a lot of desert truck stuff.

Cage looks solid, all down to the quality of the welds. Seeing as how its a 'known' car, you shouldnt have too much troubles with it.

Very nice. I would highly doubt it would be FIA 253.8.3 certified. Though, it still could be built to that spec.
Anyone on here have a Custom Cages fia kit from England? Mine is a Saftey Devices fia kit.

Had to have a second look because others keep saying it looks good, however in looking again I do not see any evidence of a dash bar. Once again I could be wrong and it could be under the fabricated dash board although I can not see it in the pictures. A dash bar is very important during wheel to wheel competition to reduce the possibility of collapse in a side impact.
