hey guys just wondering how many of you street drive with your roll cages? and how many who do run the RC padding?

Just wondering if this is needed or what?.. I dont want to crack my head open like a melon in a accident.

 

i drive mine on the street but only about 50 miles a month, no padding. there's no bar by my head, i have an 8 pt. but in an event of an accident, there's not enough padding in the world to save your head. Just take the risk, or not.

 

You should NOT drive with a cage on the street (or track) without a helmet.

 

once i get another evo im doing this to my 8 making a track monster

 

so if I take her out to get groceries I have to hard core it and wear a helmet?
should I also bring the hans brace as well?

i personally think this sounds kind of silly but if you think about it, when you remove your factory air bag for a aftermarket wheel and add all this super think steel tube around your head... regardless if you get hit from the front back or side, your going to eat it hard!.. that is if your not at least wearing a helmet..

I hope this generates some talk as I'd love to hear how many actually take the risk and those who do not..

 

^ i guess you must wear full out race gear, flame resistant to.lol

 

I know of 3 evos here in co with cages that drive on the street, non dd though.

 

damn wish i could afford a cage for my car and to finish my engine build!!

 

Can someone post the correct size tubing used for a roll cage used in the evo... for racing... time attack build...thanks

 

lol same here.

I'm almost done with my build. Now to decide whats next...a cage or coilovers lol

 

Depends on the weight of the car. If it's full weight, probably 1.75 x 1.20 DOM if I remember correctly. Been a bit since I last looked.

does anyone know who makes this cage thanks for the info

 

updated pics...

 

will a bolt in cage pass tech?

 

Yes. At least at my track it will. I have the autpower 4pt, and foam padding where the bolts are shown and have no problem passing inspection at the track. My cage is technically a 5pt now due to adding a bar on the drivers side.
