If I was to use a roll cage, I'd get one with 2 bolts per joined section or a welded one.

I highly doubt one single bolt will be strong enough to hold it from pivoting or bending.

Definately a bling item.

Definately NOT a bling item. I have seen pictures of cars roll with these in, and have been fine.
Chassis rigidity has been increased greatly.

Anyways, i'm not planning on rolling... and if i was to roll... it's rather roll with this cage than no cage. The main purpose was for rigidity anways. Don't be haters. YBCUT4?

cheers..................u got it int he car yet????????

please post pics

yeah man... I might take pics...

If you seriously think one single bolt will provide stiffness on each corner then I lol big time at you.

go grab a strut bar, that uses bolts ( spoon, cusco etc)

Tighten the fock out of that bolt and then try to force it to move by your hand.

Itll move with enough force.

Now put that into perspective into roll cages if it were to flip or if the chasis was to flex enough to move.

I highly doubt it will do jack all.

Not to mention the tubes are held by one bolt only, if the car was to flip and crash.

That single bolt will have an easier chance or snapping and flinging the tube into your body compared to a welded one.

You have your thoughts on how the product is, but I personally think its a bling item.


I;m nto being a hater, just not as oblivious to products like some people.

some one is cut because their fantastic cage is nothing more than blingalingg

chi has a point. nothing wrong with bolt in cages ONLY IF they're designed like BONDS cages
but those single bolted ones are abit iffy

[VTECMACHINE]

Ahh... it's all good... look at all the hardcore racer boys on here. lol.

I'm happy with it, and that's what counts right. Felix has the same one, and we both freaking love it. Each to their own ey? It's amazing how much it's needed with a DC2 Chassis.

Chi, don't let me be like "The Dave" and comment about your lap times and how purposefully built your DC5R was. :P

[Chi]

Ohh, I have no issues with you being happy with it.

I just find it comical that you think it would provide this so called rigidity to the car particularly if it were to roll in an accident.

*touch wood*

Not talking about rolling... but Chassis rigidity, and steering response has been greatly improved. Very noticable. Testing it out on Saturday, will let you know how it goes. Also, Seam sealer has been used during the install. The cage is very solid...

Only the best... bought from Leo @ JDM concept.
Installed by Ben from Touge Tune.

For the price of the cusco cage, you might as well get it done properly by a roll cage specialist. Then paint it in winning blue to make it look good

Contradict much?



That still doesn't justify to why a single bolt would provide this so called increased rigidity.



Now here's another question, why would you waste money on a bling cage and then have it seam sealed, when you could of gotten one made up cheaper and more solid?

Stop hating chi.

Cos I got it half the price of a bond cage, and I can remove sections of the cage, if i want to put my seats back in etc. I didn't want a weld in cage. i wanted something I could buy, know it would bolt up first time,

I was talking about rolling, seperately to chassis rigidity.

I never mentioned anything about welding.

My mate has one from Bonds cages, its got a bracket design with 2 bolts per joint section to hold it up.

And can be removed and installed easily.

So you're saying as long as it feel rigid, rolling doesn't matter?

And you still have yet to justify why a single bolt would provide this rigidity.

[.::F[L]Y::.]

you guys are funny.

you dont even hit the track much within a year yet have so much opinion on whats a good cage and what not.

leave it to the experts. nothing wrong with abit of bling! post up pics rix

[Chi]

Has nothing to do with tracking, its just obvious designs that many people share the same opinion as I do believe.

And besides, even 'experts' design poor products.
