Cusco 6pt Roll Cage
 

anyone intrested in a Cusco 6pt roll cage, going to have couple come in, and wondering if anyone wants to jump on this, $925 shipped to hawaii any 11 second cars out there?? *cough* nate, carlos *cough*

Those cages I have been informed are just for show unless you know otherwise. Please let us know.

yeah yeah, i know haha, but it does serve a purpose, like the bling factor yO

Well then I'll take two...

can they fit into a wrx wagon without cutting or taking off any of the interior?

yeah do you have to cut any interior pieces for this??? and if i get this does it mean i cant have any backseat passengers???

very nice and light weight cage!! too bad I am selling my car already

I've read about the Cusco 6-pt or 7-pt cage has said the same thing, they are not "real" roll cages. That is, they are not certified and will not provide protection one would associate with a roll cage. If you need the "bling" factor, you could probably tape together some paper towel rolls and cover them with aluminum foil. As long as you wrap the foil smoothly, they should look good.

well, the cage might not be as strong as some custom made one which directs to each actual point onto the car, but this cage should put some sort of protection. you also save a lot of weight for its only 50 pounds total, made out of very lightweight aluminum. a custom made cage would well be over 150 pounds

I personally
 

would want at least 4130 or better chromolly steel for a rollcage. Just me. Aluminum is stiff, but doesn't handle stresses well. When it fails, it fails catastrophically. Not a material I'd use for a rollcage. I'd rather use a material that will bend slightly rather than fail.

i thought of getting one....but i kinda dont want the damn thing taking up space in my car...hahahaha

I had roll cage on MR2 before and it made my car handle better. I really like the Cusco cage but they didn't made for T-Top MR2. I don't think Cusco cage will give space problem. The way they design are almost perfect around inside of your car. It should have problem getting in and out of your car.
I still remember girls can't wear skirts getting in my MR2 when my cage was install. HAHAHAHA

(not all important, just curious.)

Bling bling is a bunch or BS. I want a real cage if I am going to spend the money to get one. San you are the master of knowledge! :) Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

You know what some protections is worth? Absolutley nothing. Plain lap belts offer some protection, but they also cut you in half in a high speed crash.
