its coming along good man

 

Looks like a fun project!

 

Looks like a great project for sure.

One potential citique ( ) , are you sure your frontmost post for the cage is going to be able to take a full on hit to the front of the driver side door without wanting to move down?

I understand that the nascar style bars will take all of the force in a straight side on impact but if you were to clip something sort of right behind the wheelwell on the driver side that portion of cage that is bent/angled back might be prone to moving inward?

Just basically asking if that portion of the cage should be straight in a perfect world, if its ok being bent, or if it was reluctantly paced there to give the driver room and still use the flat surface of the floorpan for a mounting point?

Looks good so far. Nice work on the cage.

 

Mike and I worked with Mazworx to build the cage, from a design standpoint we felt that was the best way (most evo cages go around the dash like an "S", and we felt that was a weaker design). That is why we did that style door bar and added a dash bar in behind the factory one.

In a perfect world we would like it to come straight, but the wheel well structure does not allow it, and we tried to tie it in to prevent that the best way possible.

Thank you for the reply scott.

The S-Type design is what makes me stray away from the pre-bent cage packages thare out there, as you mentioned if that portion of the cage takes a walloping from the front or bottom of the car its going to want to fold over way easier than one kink like yours or a straight bar.

Appreciate you taking the time to address my question! Best of luck with the build, it looks like its going to be a serious one

Ditch the BC 280 cams in that list.
