i used to live in WA, but now i live in sunny california. I hate the weather there.

 

Ummmmm.... OKay? I'll sleep better at night knowing that.

 

dang cant wait to get a roll cage too! im jealous, how come u have to retest and rebolt the cage in? i thought you alreayd had it

 

yea i am sorry for you guys, hey i had to live there for 4 yrs and the reason why was because i was stationed in fort lewis, but washington is lovely, but i dont like rain, maybe too much for me. Everytime i went to Yakima it never seemed to rain at all though, it felt like i was in california.

 

is that to me or the creator of the post cause i built my own cage off the top of my head lol the other guy bought his from someone.. and my cage isnt so much for if i roll over its looks and will help the body roll and stiffen the body up thanks guys i will post more pics up its going to be a 12 point all bolt in cage

 

Your right, because "the other guy" actually shelled out the money and got one that he wanted to be track legal he's not as cool as you and your hand made one.

 

I don't a point in having a roll cage in a tC..especially now with the roof strength ratings showing that out roof can widthstand 7500 lbs...

 

well i emailed the scca/nhra to get blue prints to see what i have to do to make mine legal so my cage will be legal

 

oh it was for the thread creator

 

oh ok

 

Yeah, I understand that tracks want it for safety precautions...but in reality, if you flip the car with a cage in it, the cage wouldn't even be used. For your application, yes you need it, but you should send the scca/nhra a copy of the roof strength vs curb weight article posted on the front page, and see what they say about that, lol.

 

A rollcage is multipurpose. To stiffen the car, and provide safety in the event of a wreck. Even though the roof on the tC is stronger than most cars, a cage will still help, also the cage allows for better harness mounts that won't kill you by compressing your spine in the event of a collision.

Well your cage right now is wrong on a lot of levels, your main loop is to narrow and cuts into the seat so in a wreck your and the passengers will hit metal. Plus the mounts are wrong you have bends where you can't have them. So many different factors for a cage, oh and stock seats, might want change those. They are meant to bend backwards during impact, so in your case if that happens your head will hit the loop and the support will go through your skull. Get some life insurance.

 

No way your bar will pass SCCA, The Autopower has issues with SCCA too and is more focused on looks/harness running, than true SCCA applicability.

The Autopower both Downhill has and I had on my car are the best and safest option for running a safe harness setup and stiffening up the car a bit... I did mine for looks and harnesses alone...

The one pictured that brought this back from the dead is just plain scary with the bar/bars so close to the passenger seat and drivers seat, and you need to run aftermarket seats, with a horizontal harness bar and harnesses to HOPE to keep your head or body from being cracked like a melon on the metal that is so close to you.

But, Talk about off topic and back from the dead.... LoL.... good ol SL posts. How I miss them

 

i still dont know why downhill has to re test fit the cage if he already had it installed

 

He doesn't that's the guy that wants his car to kill him.

 

so the isntall is not on his own car?

 

That was last year....

 

LOL OMG i cant believe i didnt look at the date, hahah thanks will, damn im an idiot.... oh well i cant wait to get my cage!!!

 

I used to live in California but now live in WA. I hate the people down there. Um, carry on...
