I find it rather uninspiring. I'm sure it would do it's job in a roll over, but it looks like you could bolt it into any one of a dozen different cars.

With the main hoop so far from the edge of the car, haw far back can you move the seat? Then how close is it to your head?

At least it goes to the cross member and not to the floor. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

isn't the cage supposed to be links to the shock towers in the back?

isn't it supposed to go thru the floor and not the cross member?

thats what i thought too mike

Is it SCCA legal????, they are a better judge of what a cage needs to be IMHO.

Well if the car rolls over onto the roof, do you want the cage to be pushing on a single layer of unsupported sheet metal, or on a reinforced section of box steel?

It would be better if it attached at the edge of the car, where a major "rib" is located. The metal that it's resting on now may not be much better than the floor, as far as strength is concerned, but at least it's a box, and not just a sheet.

The same is true for the rear down tubes... What are they going to on the floor? What's under there that is important? I think it should go to the top of the struts for two reasons. First, all of the spring loads (obviously) go through there so any bending/twisting (if they're in an X) load into the chassis can be helped with the cage. And two in a roll over the strut towers are fairly triangulated with the rest of the chassis. So it all goes back to attaching the cage to the major nodes of the unibody.

I'm not a cage builder, these are just my opinions as a car enthusiast with just enough engineering experience to be dangerous. I'm not trying to slam CP Racing... you asked. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
