Not butt hurt man Solid technical suggestions and creative input are welcome. However, I don't need input from someone looking to call someone out for instant gratification on something that's clearly already there. If I was looking for "bro nice cage" I would've bought a bolt in roll bar and...

Interesting...so is this cage wrong as well? Goodwood festival of speed winner and time attack car built by the Ollie Clark. http://www.speedhunters.com/2013/09/gobstopper-2-ultimate-impreza/ I agree with your statement. Dead end t joints are extremely unsafe, but there won't be any once...

Were you talking about a horizontal bar in the main hoop? If that's the case, there will be. Currently working on a lower seat mount and once I get the seat bolted in, I can add a horizontal bar for a seat back mount. Need to know where the seat back mount will locate before I can notch the...

Always open to suggestions. The cage currently isn't welded to the body yet. Need to get a suspension under the car and get the car sitting with all weight on the suspension mounting points before I feel comfortable welding it to the car. i built the main hoop on the rear seat support so that...

Thanks for the reply. To answer the diagonal bar question, it was really just preference and ease of welding. I follow a lot of rally racing and I've seen this design on some cars and really liked it. Also, the front roof bars will connect in the center where the rear diagonals meet and run...

Ah, no worries. Lots of options out there, just depends what suites you best. Also, just throwing this out there. In the NASA CCR it says interior panels and bodywork may be altered to make clearance for a roll cage. That tells me that altering the roof structure is fine. Just make sure you...

I'm not sure what you mean? Are you talking about support since you're removing metal from the roof, or a bar across the windshield as in the roll cage? If you're talking about the roll cage, you do need one. You can either do the halo like you suggested, or you can do the 2 separate bars...

Id be curious to see what kind of savings you get if you decide to remove the extra metal. I dont think the savings will net you more than the additional weight of the bars you want to add, but any weight off of the top is a good thing. I'm also building a cage in an SN95, so if you have any...

That is a show piece. If you were going to run a rear diffuser like that, you would want the front of the diffuser to be completely sealed to the body and you would want a 7-10 degree angle in the diffuser instead of the large angle of the one shown. Better yet would be to make the underside...

Hmmm I guess image codes don't work anymore?

Hey guys, currently in the middle of building a cage, thought I'd post some pics! Enjoy! Also, a few extras...
