Want to put a cage in my car. Options

[EastSideGuns]

Since I'm most likely going to get a larger, four door car as a DD next year, I've been thinking I should go all out on my Celica. Still allowing it to be street legal, just barely.

Originally I was pondering whether I should put a 4 point cage in, but now I'm pretty sure I want an 8 point cage.

I know it's going to be a pain in the backside, and I already basically know what to do after reading czwalga's rally car thread, but I have some questions still.

1. I have a sunroof. I want to get rid of it, but then again I don't. Pros and cons of having it?

2. I've gotta take all the plastic out and everything so the cage would fit right and so nothing catches fire while welding. Duh. However, I still want a nice interior. I'll leave the dash. Would it be real difficult to make some cool aluminum interior pieces?

Any input is welcome.

You can put a 4 point with door bars in. There's not bars that your head will smack off unless your seat snaps when you're rear ended. What I have in the rx7 and its a street'ish car.


With a full cage we're still required to put sfi/fia spec padding in all the areas the helmet could potentially make contact with the cage.
