Do Luck rear Crossbar





It's not cheap, but you're thinking along the right lines. You have front braces, rear brcaes, so why not middle braces. Plus, it's shiny 8)

Constructing a roll cage is not as simple as just bolting on a few strands of bar.
If not done properly it will be detrimental than doing any good.

It must be build with good grade chro moly steel with a certain amount of thickness. Plus someone who knows how to weld it properly.
All those alluminium and god forbid exhaut pipe materials are just down right dangerous. I'm sure there are many incidents of ppl fitting them only to get themselves killed.

Dont shoot me, just my opinion.

Think you're probably spot on mate really. It's there for a real purpose, so should be done right, or not at all.

Andy-if you roll your car onto the roof,a horseshoe shape above your head is going to snap it's mounting points and whack you on the bonce.You'll then be dead,so quite dangerous :wink: .The idea of a rollcage is to spread the load throughout the frame,2 points is a dangerous waste of time and money.It needs at least to be secured to the rear struts as well.
The only 2 point type I can think of that would help you in a crash is those in stock cars.And they are made from girders(like Ir'n Bru).

Ok - this may sound like a strange question, but here goes anyway.

For those who have roll cages installed - can you still use your sunvisor or does it become redundant? :oops:

I can still use my sun visor, it doesnt fold back into the bit where its supposed to coz of the cage but I just un hinge it at one end and tuck it over the cross bar of the roll cage to stop it flapping about

Nismo make a GTI-R roll cage very much like the one that Ben posted (it looks like the Nismo cage to me). That design allows you to retain the rear seats. Safety 21 make a couple of different types for the GTI-R too.
