cusco rollcage

[Spitfire]

I agree with Rick. btw heres a (steel) cage my friend got for his RS13 for one third of the price of cusco 6 point bolt on cage

The Cusco cage costs about 1300eur here in Finland - for 1000eur, we had this cage professionally made into our Endurance CRX from cold-rolled carbon steel (approved for FIA sanctioned events);

I would go for aluminium any way. Oversized tubes. much lighter

I've never seen or heard of an aluminum cage for the 86 by cusco. Are you sure?

They have chromoly and steel listed on their site.

I've seen one in a hachi fo shizzle
It's was a half cusco aluminum roll-cageand it was in Stephen's Hollinger's sweet turbo hachi.

Custom cages for the win!
Chixican, is it just me or did you list the fact that it's bolt- instead of weld-fitted both as a positive and a negative? xD

Getting a pro shop to fit one in for you is usually cheaper if you go for steel, about the same price for aluminium and possibly more expensive if chromoly, but it fits like a glove and offers that belly-warming feeling of dude-that-thing-was-built-from-scratch-for-my-car-and-i-love-that...

haha, well it is a positive in the sense that you don't have to weld, and if you don't have a welder it's a plus. In all reality as I listed in my first post, I would take a tig welded custom cage in place of the cusco any day of the week. Overall I didn't like the cusco because I didn't feel "safe" once it was put together. I felt that the bolts might shear because I don't remember the bolts being a grade higher than 8. Or the backing plates would give out (both the car floor pan and the cusco plates bend to conform to each other). The combination of the two just did not make me feel comfortable.
