Hey, my bolt in lasted 2 years!
i think he's talking about cages.

Well,
My car doesn't currently qualify for any race series so would you think that a bolt in would be the better way to go? Also, I have only heard a few complaints about Autopower's fitment.
Chris, are you looking to put a cage in your e30?
Two feet.
RJ, how much weight does the cage add?

The whole thing is likely 100-115 lbs.
When we put the car on snobeck's trailer to take it in, the driver's door would clear the trailer fender. After the cage, it did not

Damn RJ, looks good.
I didn't think you'd have it together so quickly.
Now, on to that "sportbike"...

Nicely done RJ, what no passenger seat? 
Kaan Wrote:jesus  .... you need a 3/16 hole in your main hoop, a door bar, and another one in a "other" brace. I'd put them on the passanger side if i were you guys.
Then say drill, not tap . I'll do that for ya.
How strict are you guys on holes in the firewall? Can I put some meal tape over them and call it done? or will I have to weld them all up?
white_2kgt Wrote:Nicely done RJ, what no passenger seat?
I'm going to throw it in the truck for VIR, as I'll probably be instructing the rest of the weekend. But I'll only put it in when it has to go in, because the firebottle has to be moved to make it fit.

Chris, are you looking to put a cage in your e30?
not a cage but definately a rollbar with side door bars. I keep tossing around the idea of bolt-in vs. weld.

fine then, its a 6pt bolt in "cage"... to me a cage isn't a cage until its the whole thing welded in.

RJ - in the first pic what is the little red handle, a quick release for something I'm guessing, the net maybe?

that is attached to the rollbar? probably the master cutoff switch, at least that's where mine is going.
