The cage looks sick in the car man...I just got a quick ?......Where did you get the flip down storage by the lights on the headliner??? that looks pretty cool....anyways hope you feel better from the energy drinks

 

owned

 

I find it kinda sad that ive gone to 5 shops and they all have said the same thing its a piece of junk. I would trust people that have a shop and sell the product vs your word any day of the week. And you own a lambo so that means you have money to get a real roll cage made dont be cheap.

 

the cages are also D1 approved with the addition of welded side bars (which Cusco sells seperately)...just a interesting point

 

How useful are your sun visors now?

Just a note on bolt in cages. I have seen passengers actually get their hands pinched by them due to flex. The passenger was using the cage to brace for corners and when the car returned to the straight he found his hand trapped between the cage and the side of the car. From what I understand it was fairly painful and not particularly easy to free him. Granted this was an Autopower cage in a Porsche and not an Evo. And, yes, this was an FIA approved cage.

To do it correctly a weld in cage is the only way to go.
I hope you don't brain yourself in an accident

 

yes weld ins are better...no debating that. Using a cage to brace for corners? Huh? Was he a passenger?

I've seen nightmares happen with weld in cages too. Most notable was a Mustang SVO owner at Bridgehampton (early 90's when they still ran there), who broke numerous bones when his car rolled and the cage crushed on his back....there is no accounting for all "what if's" in the event of an accident. And yes, te cage was done by someone who does cages for a living and who has done so for 25 + years.

The point being....we are only truly safe when you don't hit anything at all

 

did i not establish this point in my previous post..this is not a race car. if it WAS id get a legal cage. I wanted it for show purposes only. I was talking about cusco in general and the company is well known for their quality products. . To you and your shops it could be a peice of junk because it wont seve the function you want it to, but to me i think its a nice quality/show item. btw the lambo is my dads...im only 19

 

thanks! its oem on the gsrs..you dont have it? do you have a sunroof? might be the problem

 

i think ppl are quick to judge about products. just because he rather show his car in a car show rather than track it. you guys just quick to judge. and also saying just get a real cage? i would think its the same, metal is metal. as long he aint a dumbass driver.

 

yeah thats probably the reason why I dont have it......anyways the cage looks good regardless if its leagal or not.;.It will still be a nice show piece

 

It is nice, no doubt... however the fact that its not just a roll bar, but a cage or a sort, you shouldnt be driving that around without a helmet, sure gamble a bit and drive it around with no helmet... you just gotta realize the danger. If you take passangers you should probably let them know how potentially dangerous it could be.

 

im pretty sure one sick lambo is getting racing harness....him and the front passenger will be strap in w/ little movement.. ...im pretty sure this will help greatly w/ possible incident of head banging on bars...

just to recap for those who dont read throught the whole thread....The benifit of the bolt in roll cage is to increase chassis stiffness although its not race legal its not street legal either... weld in roll cage is not street legal either....a full weldin cage can run aout 2000+ this bolt in is about 700...becuase both is not street legal if you happpen to get a fix it ticket...you can unbolt it...

although his purpose of the cage is more show then anything it still functional and cant really be considered as rice .. he can still track it if he decides to do small track event where roll cage are not required...at all track events helmets are required so no head banging there either

 

At least this was posted in Show & Shine and not the Motor Sports forum

 

You can get a bolt-in rollbar (i.e. Autopower) that will do more for you than this "cage" will, without sticking bars on your A-pillars, in front of your glovebox, etc etc. And it'll probably be cheaper.

But if you're trying to impress people at car shows, hey, what difference does it make.

no the bars will just go through my dash lol. This is a show cage..had no intent to be for racing plus i wanted to maintain rear seat for passengers
