Evo MR Roll-Cage being built 6 point PIC

Here you go.... It is will go all around the cabin, front to back. It will be used for roll-over protection and side impacts. I will upload more pictures as they go along.
ejoy

It's so ugly when gutted lol. Put the Recaro's back in! Quick!!

Nice rollcage. You have quite some pricey suspension mods. What is your MR being used for?

If you need a rollcage...I highly doubt you need a back seat...

This is not done, what makes you think they would remove all the seats just for this! It is going to be a six point roll cage, so far only two points down, four to go...... I'll post pictures tomorow, they are working on the car right now....

Make sure they gusset the bases of the main hoop. Most people just weld these to the floor but it's not strong enough. You'll need to weld the bases laterally to the side-rails to be safe (and it's much stiffer).

I saw the finished photos. Good luck getting that to pass tech in a real NASA or SCCA event.

That is more dangerous then if you didn't have it at all. Bad design. Very bad.
