Cage opinions wanted

[Hella Supra]

I am finally at the point where a cage is a smart move. Actually probably past that point, but at least I am addressing it now.

My car is now 100% track use. I wont be renewing registration next year.

Looking at cage/roll bar options and it seems like the choice's come down to doing a roll bar/half cage or a custom full cage.

Anyone out there have a custom full cage, that would share some pictures? For those that have the half cage/bars, do you think it is enough and which ones seem to actually provide a safety increase over looks?

I run mostly with NASA if it matters, but will likely expand into SCCA in 2024.

If you are 100% track I do not know why you wouldn't want a custom cage.

First car I have gone this route with. A custom cage is fine by me. I will find someone in the area to fab it.

Just be sure to do your due diligence and find a competent fabricator who is comfortable building a cage to NASA and SCCA rules.

Please post pictures of your cage when you're done!

You want to do a full cage if you are a track car, will need to have your AC removed, all of the interior. expect to wait for a good shop to schedule your car

photos from my cage are here - https://www.supramkv.com/threads/toy-a91.13825/page-3#post-223751

I have the Studio RSR half cage and I love it for what it is. There's already been a Supra wrecked with one and it did its job. That being said if I had a track only car then custom full cage would be the only option.

Roll bars are definitely better than nothing. Good to know they hold up.

Don’t get anything that rivets in… even a roll bar should have reinforcement plates welded in and the cage bolted to it.

Remember this one? Prime example of why roll bars/cages need to be properly mounted.

I mean, it’s a Ford. The chassis is probably made with tinfoil.

The flat roof and roll bar popping out of the floor agree.
