Ok all you 914 guy/gals that have been wanting a cage, now is the time! I will do a "group buy" for a run of cages. I need a minimum of 5. The price will be $1200 including material and cutting in the dash. Cages will be made from 1.5"X.095 or .120 DOM tubing depending on class/weight of the car. You will have your choice of the "street" door bars or X door bars. I plan to do the installs the fist week of May. Please let me know if you have any questions. You can also visit my website for more information.

Count me in if you can figure out how to cut and ship one East...
As long as the parts are a little longer than needed, I could make it work...

Of course I would save the installation costs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Rich, you could also save some shipping costs if you would just talk to me.
What's the matter, did I say something wrong to you in the past? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Sorry Tony, not trying to steal business from you. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I would also much prefer you to go to Chris, that way all of us know you have a safe and installed cage.

No offense, but when it comes to speed, safe and cheap are somewhat incompatible.
I saw a guy die at LRP in a Porsche because he trusted safety equipment that he was very proud of having installed himself. :gilloutine:

Curious how many more takers there are on this group buy. Who else out there is willing to throw their IRS refund to the wind?

Tony....want to add this request to any other sites?
Pelican, Rennlist (914 and Racing) Shoptalkforums?


Even with me being an FAA certified welder, I'd rather trust Tony or Chris to weld in a cage for me since they have much more experiance doing this type of work.

Hang in there in Mike. I need to write something up letting people know that Tony did all my cages. I think we are confusing some people.

Andrew Blyholder is a GGR member who's latest Bx car looks like it could use a cage. He mentioned wanting to get one done. Does anybody know his contact info?

Tony and I are seeing some confusion amongst the 914 crowd. I'll try and clear it up as much as possible with this post.

I met Tony when he was working for another "raceshop". I had several cages built by Tony at that shop. Tony then started to build the 914 cages at the Palo Alto shop. All this time I was listing the cages on the ALL914.com website to help drum up business for him....well... I drummed up enough work for him. Tony has since then opened his own fabrication and race prep shop.

Bottom line: He kicks ass when it comes to fab work. You will NOT find a faster fab guy. I was tired of hearing about 4-6 week turn around times when I learned of the young whipper snapper. He now whips out some of the best BMW, Miata, and Porsche cages I have ever seen.

Give him a shot. All of my customers are more than happy.

I know quite a few of the happy customers and that's why I jumped on this as soon as he posted it. I was kicking myself for not getting in the last group. I'm just happy to have another chance before he gets too well known (read: full schedule).

Just tell your significant other that you need to divert part of your tax refund for this. I'm sure they'll understand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I've seen Tony's shop and some of the stuff he did and is currently working on
WICKED!!! If you want a cage, he's your man!

A big plus is that he knows the different racing organisation's rules by heart, so you'll get a cage that is legal.

cheers,

Jeroen

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I still need 1-2 more people to make this a go. If your sitting on the fence and have questions feel free to ask.

Tony I need a cage! I just dont know what kind of cage/loop/bar based on whose rules I build the car to.
Brads givin me bad news about the bits currently installed and their (in)eligibilty in ITA so I have to do some research and make some choices. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
Any help would be appreciated.

What class are you intending to run? Here is a link to an ITA legal cage I built:

ITA 914 rollcage

As Brad says below it needs the Petty bar to be legal, but we normally wait until after most of the interior work is done as it is not fun to work around.

Its missing the petty bar to be 100% SCCA legal, but we normally install those after the car has been assembled. Pain in the ass trying to move around the bar and install interior crap.

Actually... you can go backwards from the main hoop if you dont plan on running stockish classes in PCA club racing (cant pass through the bulkheads)
