Who wants a roll cage??

Throwin' out a brief Q & A..
Something workable that you can actually be safe in during racing, while keeping practicality with the rear seats. i wanted something so that i wouldnt die if i rolled it at the track.

there is a company here in so cal that i would like to talk to, but need to guage interest in who else would want one made.

something like i30Krab's cage is nice. but its not SCCA certified and would only be good for racing belts. (sorry ron.)

anyone else?

Agreed. At most maybe you'll get two or three people that are serious about it.

Are we talking about roll cage? or roll bars? A real roll cage would make the rear seating area pretty much useless. Forget about recline your front seats. You would have to step over bars to get out of the car...etc. You would have to remove pretty much all the interior panels to weld on a roll cage.

i would be intrested but that doesnt that seem kinda hard to sell through the mail?

resaon being a roll cage/bar system is like something that needs to be custom installed in each car.

the monkey bars they sell for hondas look tacky and strictly for show which still dont even look good for that purpose

chesbo, accept for very few of us who take the cars on the road course, nobody else would really want it, and even after that, if you install the cage then selling the car would be kinda hard, hehe, u know, I mean, I would love to get one but also $ is an issue here, we need to get rx-7 TT, they have cages made for them already

Vinipux, your rear wheels are on the wrong sides. Arrows face forward.
