evo 8 rollcage...

well it looks like a lot of lancers are going to be drifting their way into the 11s here any time now, and in doing so most will be banned from the tracks until they get a rollcage. so, my question is...

does anyone make a rollcage that is intended for or can be adapted to the evo VIII?

Probably any cage that fits the VII. As far as I can tell the interior of the VII and VIII are virtually identical.

wouldn't that depend on what side the driver is on? since the 7's were in japan and RHD. ... maybe i'm thinking too much into it.

i'm sure some shop could manufacture something for someone when it comes time....

both very good points, i was just curious if there was anything out there yet. it seems like it would be a necessity for the evos.

I never understood the 11 sec rule. What if someone owns an unmodded 11 sec car? saleen S7 or Enzo or perhapse the new viper? Would they need roll cage? If the track requires one they definitly need one as standrad equipment.

Just make a note that sunroof Evos have lower roof and therefore cages built around non sunroof model VIIs are not going to work.

Removable or bolt-in type roll cages are not NHRA legal. So I don't think you could use them.

RMR can do full-fabricated cages, that's what i did. i was going to go the route of Ralliart NZ, but you have to ship the car to them so RMR did just as good work, awesome cage! 1430 chromoly.

Aren't rollcages made to fit? As in pretty much every rollcage is custom anyway, since they are weld in? I know a place by me (Neverlift) does cages, and it doesn't matter what car you bring them, they'll do a cage for it. Their work is A+ too.
