Roll cage

Hey, i dont really know what section this would fall in, but i posted it here because i think alot of people would see this section. But anyways, Does anyone know where i can find a roll cage (any point), that comes non-assembled that i can have someone weld together and into my car? I know the guy that would do it and he told me to look around and see if anyone knows a place that can send me all the bars not already welded together so that he can put it all in and weld it himself. Any 411 will help. Thanks

If I'm not mistaken...those are more for decoration than actual safety (too many bends).

Does it have to be welded in? I have the Autopower 4 point and its perfect for most track events...

What part of Cincy are you from? When is import day? What kind of times does your Evo run? I assume it's well into the 11's if you "need" a cage

I'm from erlanger which is about 3 minutes below cincinnati. Import day is october 1st at edgewater drag strip (if you need directions i can give it to you). And last time i ran my evo i ran a 12.2. Well now i just ordered a 35r kit from AMS so i'm 100% positive that i will break below 11.99's which is required to have a roll cage at that time or anytime faster. If you're from the cincinati area and you're wanting to go, i'm sure you could follow us down. (I'll be with a group of about 30-35 imports of all different kinds).


Thanks for the links. lol. Yea, i got really lazy.

As for it being welded, i know a guy that does perfect welds. His work is the SH*T!. And i've seen cages that some people get and they are pretty sloppy and stuff. Plus, if i get a kit that is not assembled, then i dont have to remove the back window and go through all that hassle and the hassle of tryign to get it to fit in right. I can just strip down the interior and do one at a time. Basically i want it non-assemebled because this guy will do it for very cheap and right.

I plan on breaking 11.4's too, so i might as well get a 6 point. But that's what i wanted in the first place.

SW Racecars... They have one for sure considering the cage in my car is from them.

Here is the Google search to find thier website:
