And of course the one picture was during the mock up process and is not final installation.


Hmm i wonder if that would work with a targa car ucz i want to keep my rear seat in place and still store the targa in the back.

why are u using so much 90' joints and no X joints? When I did rallying, my mechanic tough me, that when making a cage there has to be as fewer 90' joints as possible, because they do not do they job as good as X joints and even do not get FIA homologation...
But if u're doing that for show, then it's ok

I don't think Seans going to be taking his 2jz rally racing. The cage was built for a street car to keep all the assentials that make a street car a street car. Back seats are saved which I could not have done if I x braced the back to the strut towers and there's no front bars to x brace at the doors. I had to use a curve on the door bars to make sure they crossed the driver at the arm btwn the elbow and shoulder and still make it around the seat so the seat could be pulled forward when putting stuff in the back.

It's a 6pt nhra cage for 10.0s not something travis pastrana is going to go smashing into trees sideways at 100+mph.

I have a feeling Seans car will be needing a new cage very soon. I tried to tell you to just go straight to a 10pt out of the box. Don't worry well make it happen so you can show everyone how it's done.

Could be :) it was just my observation :) I'm into rallying so I look at things from this perspective for safety.
