What do you have to pull?
How much does it cost? Probably should pull all the shit out - take it to get a cage and then take it straight to the paint shop eh? |

Is that cage built for any particular race series (SCCA, PCA, POC, etc.)?
Just to stiffen the car for the street? Thanks, Don |

QUOTE(vortrex @ Mar 9 2004, 04:39 PM) what do people do about painting the cage once installed? do you just leave it rusty? i sprayed Metal-Ready on mine first, then washed it off with water, then brushed on POR-15 ... Andy (IMG:http://www.sirandy.com/pix/914/2003.05.19/IMGP2088.JPG) |

oh, and i didn't miss a single spot !
it's easy with a brush, there's enough room around the tubing to get the paint on with a brush anywhere ... Andy |

Andy actually it might not be....been having some issues with a cage in a civic del sol......a cage that doesn't have stantions running to the rear supension mounts (ie through the back window in a del sol or 914) is required to have a petty bar. which i'm trying to avoid, so i can keep a passenger seat. |

You can keep the passenger seat with a petty bar, you just won't have too many people wanting to be passengers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Andy's and Mike's would need petty bars to be legal. However these can easily be added at a later date IF they do actually go wheel-to-wheel racing. Both cars are primarily driven on the street and I will NOT build a cage with a petty bar that is mainly driven on the street.
-tony fiid, by stripped I mean it should look like mike's car, except that you can still leave the dash in, but the dash PADS (upper and lower) need to be removed. |

I "think" Andy's cage is made from heavier wall tubing due to him wanting to go with a big /6 in the future...
for certain classes, I'd have to stick with the /4 or go with a small /6 or go on a crazy diet to keep the car at the weight limit for my cage..... after my cage, it seems like Tony will not touch a 914 for a cage unless the interior is totally stripped like mine was..he is too busy to deal with the removal of everything, of course for a price, I'm sure he could be swayed into it :0 as mentioned in another post, the price for the raw material is going up at an alarming rate, I wouldn't wait too long to get a cage since it seems the price is only going to go up......... yes, the petty bar is required in some classes, I don't plan on running with the SCCA, so I opted not to get the petty bar........my car is for street, auto-x and the occasional track day QUOTE and the triangles make it stonger! I thought those are for handcuffs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) |

You only need the petty bar if you dont run the rear bars coming off the main hoop.
Good job as usual "T". Our nightmare gets delivered tomorrow. I wish I had a few more lined up for you.. but things have really nose dived since the beginning of the year as far as service work goes (for us) B |
