Building a Roll cage themselfs for their drift machines.
Doing thier own designs etc. It sound all very technical to me, but the main thing to remember is that their rides will be save... 😉

Oh right, haven't heard about this.

I was going to offer this later on, I will be basing my designs on the Apex bolt in roll cages which are FIA approved.

Cool man

Why not just post it up.

COMING SOON - Roll Cages for FIA

or someting in that line...

Yeah I will but it won't be till a fair bit later in the year as I will need to invest in a pipe bender first and they aint cheap the ones that are good enough to bend the tubing required for roll cages.

I will also do one cage for my own car first to make sure it all goes well before I offer it you guys.

Please have a chat with P3g4sus about all that

Is he offering it?

That is where I heard of it cuase he is doing it to his ride.
You two seem in the same mind and will benifit sharing ideas and info.

I'll pop him a message then

Cool mate

Did my link help you at all though?

I have been looking at doing that to my S14 for a while now so that I can remove the standard front paneling, but that will also only be later in the year.

some good exhuast shop can do roll cages too...^^

Ja but making roll cages that are safe (correct grade steel and thickness) is what you need. Most exhaust places have pipe benders but they are limited to the grade and thickness that they can bend so that is all they can bend. So you end up with a cage that may work....but more than likely won't in a crash that utilises the roll cage to it's full extent to save you.

Roll cages are one of those things you just don't skimp on, they are life savers. Same goes for bucket seats, harnesses and helmets

this reminds me... even in drags ... if your car ran under certain time... you must have roll cages install....

Here is another link with a roll cage build
