Parry_10 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Not sure where to look, roll cage for a supra can be bolt in or weld in not looking to spend stupid money, just want something that will do the job cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callaway Motorsport Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 are you actually looking to go track though? If its just cosmetic, just go for a cusco 4 point with harness bar or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Has it got to pass any inspections? If so a certified cage will limit your choice a LOT. If you buy a El Cheapo bolt in cage and just bolt it up to the standard sheet metal it's pretty useless as the legs will just punch through if tested. You need to WELD in spreader plates that join a strong horizontal to vertical interface where the feet mount. IE, sill to floorpan metal has a 90 degree sheet metal gusset welded in, about 3 mm thick, and about 50 sq ins in area. Dash dodger cages are pretty worthless, the main load bearing member, in a roll, is already crippled and will just bend more. If you think you need a cage get a weld in one and do it properly. They are a PITA to fit, I always get a dedicated company to do them as they have all the gear and jockey sized welding monkeys to scrabble around inside the shell.

pedrosixfour Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Buy Steve L's body for less than what a decent cage would cost. Full FIA approved roll cage already fitted PLUS a heated windscreen. I'd buy it myself, along with a couple of other bits he has for sale (diff, coilovers ARBs), if I had the readies. I don't think I'll ever have readies again.

Parry_10 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Share Posted August 13, 2012 will be doing a few track days, it wont need to pass any tests I dont think I just want one that will do the job its meant to and not make the car a paint to get in and out of. Not bothered about losing the rear seats either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 If you buy a Cusco 6 point cage, Jamie's shell has all the holes for you to just bolt it straight in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 A rollcage for a couple of track days? A bit overkill, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 A rollcage for a couple of track days? A bit overkill, isn't it? Depends on how many track days. Personally IMO you should have some sort of roll cage if you go out on track full stop (Ideally a Weld in one). Speeds on a track far exceed that of the road and therefore you are more likely to have a serious smash. You may be driving well within your limits but that does not count for anyone else who could be gunning it lose control and collect you and then put you into a roll.

bignum Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 The cusco held up pretty well after my brother roll, just bolted in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
