I don't have a cage for you but just something to thing about.....

Do you want a cage for drag racing, rally or for the track? Because of the differnet rules in each form of racing the designs are quite different. There is nothing worse than having to pull a cage out of a car to modify it when it doesn't meet the requirements.

OK I don’t want to hi jack I am just trying to point you to the right information…..CACC set the rules for solo and road racing in BC. If you want to run at an event that requires a cage then it will need to meet the published rules. So with that rule set in mind the Cusco cages that I have seen don't have
- Diagonal in the main hoop
- Harness bar on the main hoop
- Double door bars
- Dash bar
- Foot bars

While there are lots of events that run without the requirement for a cage if you are going to install one why not meet the requirements so you are not excluded at a later date.

The rules are here: http://www.caccautosport.org http://www.caccautosport.org/

As Jim indicated above he sells the Autopower cages and then can be ordered to be CACC legal if you like.

If you never plan to compete and only drive it on the street then it doesn’t matter what you use.

As has been mentioned, a Cusco is a poser-points cage not legal for anything. That said, I would STRONGLY recommend you consider a rollBAR instead of a rollCAGE - the difference being the front 2 points of attachment. In the event of a crash on the street when you are not wearing a helmet, the front bars on a 6pt cage pose a CONSIDERABLE risk to you - hitting your head on a steel bar is an instant concussion if not worse. Padding is not a suitable alternative - proper SFI padding is designed to cushion a helmet at crash speed = almost as hard as steel.

In terms of rollBARs, although Autopower does make one, I am very happy with my Kirk Racing rollbar in my EG. I examined the Autopower and Kirk alternatives for both my Civic and the BMW before it and both times chose Kirk and have been very happy with the final product. My competition legal Kirk Racing bar was $405usd + shipping brand new from Kirk.

You could have something custom made as well, by someone like a friend of mine in Surrey, I will send a pm with their name. They make a lot of the race car ones. They are well known by the tech inspectors at the tracks and there is no problem when you tell them who made your cage.
