First off - i am not really in a hurry, or ready to have this done in the next week or so, im posting this so i can start talking with someone about what im after… Ok - so if i want to go faster than 13.5/8.5 at a track, apparently i need a cage… So im looking for someone to fab up a cage for my spyder… When the cage is in, i dont really care how it looks, or what panels need to come off… i know giving me a price now prob wouldn’t be the easiest thing to do…but if you could pm/post with a ballpark quote (+/- 200$), or if we can meet up so i can explain what im after that’d be great. and just so you know - this is the car its going in: ![http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz170/hortanica/GSX%20Spyder/100_1391.jpg?t=1287950280](http://i824.photobucket.com/albums/zz170/hortanica/GSX%20Spyder/100_1391.jpg?t=1287950280) and to give you an idea of what im after: (im aware at min the bar under the top of the windshield would be welded…) ![http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/files/8/4/6/1/3/web_1_326092.jpg](http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/files/8/4/6/1/3/web_1_326092.jpg) ---

Pretty sure you don’t need a bar under the top of the windshield. You just need a standard 6-point cage. That cage doesn’t look legal. You have to have side bars that connect from just behind your shoulder and go to near where your feet are.

i know that cage isnt necessarily up to ‘code’, it was just a representation of what i was after… from what ive read it only needs to be a 5 point cage up until 10 (or 10.5?, i dont remember, it was a few weeks ago when i was looking this up) - i need the main hoop, 2 rear bars, driver door bar, and a strap bar. i just figured that windshield bar would help with chassis rigidity. ---

From what I’ve read that cage doesn’t do well in the spiders…iirc its because of the exta bracing/storage/motors for the top and because of the rear window motors the main hoop didn’t fit right. I guess ill do a bit more digging into it though ---

im gonna bump this up, now that theres a few more forum sponsors on here! updated the first post too, cage no longer has to be removed 😉 im completely ok with taking out any interior panels, and whatever as long as its legal and the top can still go up/down! The car is gonna be parked soon, and completely stripped for next season so let me know! ---

I can get you in touch with one of the guys I race with, he does really nice 6pt cages for around $600 but IDK if it would be a little bit more, you would have to completely strip the car out to have him do it. ---

Thats about what i figured i was looking at…but depending on how tomorrow goes, the spyder might be getting stripped this weekend so now its a cage…or seats/harness etc…
