ROLL CAGES who and where?

whats up people.....
i'm ready to get the low down on good cages. not bars, atleast a 6 point.
anybody have one, had one, or know someone with one in their 240?
i'm tryin to compare price and quality. so far i've found one place with an Autopower cage. thats options auto salon, like $600
who else makes good cages?
all advice and links and all that would help a brotha out.
thanks
Rude

JDM cages are all going to be "backwards" -- remember they are RHD not LHD. Therefore any crossbars and stuff for the driver are going to be on the wrong side of the car.

So if you care, cross Cusco and Safety21 off your list.

And if you really care, just find a local place to do custom work.

Unorthodox Racing can make awesome cages. Their fabwork is pretty sick. I saw this tubbed out mustang they made... it gave me a boner.

cusco...and nismo

cusco makes a really good one for the silvia...but like he said up top its rhd...and not lhd....so unless you plan on converting the cage....i wouldnt worry about it....i saw one in a 240 from nismo...he was in the import expo 3 show here in houston....i didnt talk t the guy i just poked my head in and saw it....so i dunno were to find that one....i just thought i would inform you.....
i think your best bet it is to have one customlly installed.....thats what im thinking of doing because the rules here at the track that i race.....you must have a roll cage once you break the 10.999 mark...and im not there yet but im damn close.....

Terror.......

Hey, I'm not doubting there are S14's that can run close to or even at a 10, but it takes a lot of work. Mind telling us what you have that makes it that fast? Maybe include a time slip as well as an attached file, I would personally like to see it.

why u say that?
i would rather have the bar curve around the dash to make things easier. and it also looks nicer.
