Detachable door bars are nothing but a safety compromise. I would NEVER run them on a car I intended on doing tandem drifts with.

We’ll be using some very unique couplers to attach the bars on Mark’s cage that will be a LOT stronger than the joints of other bolt in cages… more on that later.

Hey Guys,

I can do a cheap cage. Mig welded mild steel and can be to spec for any type of racing.

4 point - 500  
6 point - 700  
8 point - 850  
10-+ point - 1000  
I can also do wheel tubing - 200  
here are some pics of my race car and Marks old silvia

I have nothing but good things to say about Adam and his dad. Two man team running shit out of a garage… they do good work.

I was trying to respect the vendors on SON by not openly posting up pricing and shit… but those are pretty standard prices. Pricing on our stuff is pretty damn close to that. Maybe a bit lower 😉

Moral of the story is… there is enough people doing cages… no excuses why you we all can’t roll cages next year!

I would like to cage my car with a simple 6 point.and still use it as a street car…because when drifting sometimes i feel like i need a cage…in tandem drifts for example. when both cars in front and behind you have cages. lol

anyone been to CSC Racing in Newmarket for there cage?

i am very uneducated about cage pricing and metal…ive heard anywhere from $1500 to $3500 for an installed roll cage…is this even right?

that sounds high, they quoted me about 800 for a 4pt welded in, now if u strip ur interior and do a bit of prep work urself u will obviously save some on labour, i went with a bolt in cage tho…
