roll cage

You gonna weld it in yourself or pay someone. My theory if your gonna do a cage do I right th first time and get it done to spec. If u need something to get u by do a bolt in that way u can get rid of it / take it out easier.
 
Did you see the cage at my house the other night? It Is the s&w s14 drift cage. It meets spec for every racing group. And when I talked to dAn Chilton he told me to just get that and have him weld it since it would be cheaper than making one from scratch.

Also look at the Enjuku racing drift cage for the s13 it's a little cheaper

is there any difference from the s&w and the cheaper enjuku drift cage ?

The cages we have at enjuku are pre notched and everything, just gotta weld it in.

I just checked on some 86 cages for a friend it said they weren't pre-notched. I'm talking about the S&W cages.
 
Idk, i've seen only a couple of the S&W cages and they fit kinda shitty. Door bars hit door panels, inconvenient to get in/out of, shoulders on bucket seats hit door bars, large gaps on main hoop and lateral bars. But hey if you don't care about that stuff and just need a cage so you can tandem, go for it I guess. Mazworx also sells weld in cages, pretty sure there all the same though.

? When you run door bars around 95% of the time you don't have door panels. When you have a full cage with door bars its not suppose to be an easy way out its meant to protect you if you happen to get hit by a car or crash into something into the doors. And also it depends who welds it cause I know on some cages the hoop bar which get welded to the floor board are made longer so you can adjust to be a tight fit towards the roof or give it some gap.
 
You can make easily accessible door bars that protect you and are easier (not easy) to get in/out of. Door panel clearance is hit or miss depending on the car and the type of door bar used. It is supposed to be easy to get in/out of AND protect you from getting hit. What happens if you get hit and your car catches fire and you need to get out FAST? That's true about the clearance, I know mazworx cages have that not sure about the rest though.

Also most of the weld on cages have the harness bar and door bar connecting directly to the bend on the main hoop. Welding to a bend makes the structural integrity decrease, also you don't really want to have any bars going to the bends cause after bending it makes the bar weaker, so in a crash it has more of a chance to buckle.

ok, if my car is on fire and no matter how big my door bars are, Im gonna be able to get outta that bitch realll quick.

You're fussin about bullshit. People that are gonna have a race car with double door bars probably arnt worried about having door panels.

Just stop trying to be a fussy whiner about silly shit.
 
Practice on how to get out then. 2 hands on top of the door or roof then do a pull up and your out. If not then open your door and then proceed with what I said above.
