Sorry guys, we had to do some cleaning. Wattboy's car is a really good example of the current 914 cage that we do. We have changed the design to an a-pillar design from the halo design so all those pics are now not on the site. I also removed the WRX engine mount as we will not be offering it for sale and answering all the emails from tire kickers was taking too much time. I have all the old pics, so if someone needs a certain pic just PM or email me.

Oh, and this is why we have been a little busy...http://www.tcdesignfab.com/CNCnews.htm

My chassis reinforcement is a bit different, but seems effective.
It's an Autopower cage with a few mods/deletions....with more to come.

At some future point, I'll dispense with the whole upper section of the cage (except the roll hoop) & add structure
from the door top down.

There have been a few debates on cages in street cars.
FYI.
I was running a skid pad with the big stickies. After 2-3 laps
the tires warmed up and it really hooked up. I hit an undulating spot in the pavement and my haid bounced off the upper side bar. Ever with a helmet and cage padding, it knocked me goofy....(goofier?) Hurt, too. Without the helmet I'da been in trouble.
Live & learn.
