Do you want it for looks or for racing??

We have to put one in our Ice racer and we are going to copy the one in our all-trac it looks like this.

This is a roll-bar not a cage

What is a rollbar?

I want it for harsh street use, i've had a number of car accidents, and 2 of'em involved flipping after mech. failure, so i would like a rollcage... or rollbar if i know what it is.

yeah, i'm curious too of what the difference between a roll bar and a roll cage.

98RACE... how much a you guys charging to a custom made cage/roll bar for a toyota starlet (kp61). where are you guys located? many thanks!

roll cage: basically what it sounds like. Its a cage around the driver. There r different types cages like 6 point cage, 8 point cage, 12 point cage and so on. It will (should) protect from all angles. HEAVY (up to 300lbs)

roll bar: It will only protect you from a roll over. As you can see in the pic it wont help much if some one hits the door.
LIGHT (around 40lbs)

As for making them: We dont. We have a guy that make them for us.

NDR008 · 10-30-2004, 12:04 PM

You must be insane?! I mean Malta's got its ups, but I see way more downs...

ratboycom · 11-01-2004, 07:04 PM

how so? other than the obvious crap roads and lack of highways, all of the Starlet GT guys over there seem to love it

Well, regarding cars, here everyone is nuts, filled with GTs and Glanzas.... BUT here Ford earns you way too much respect, even a Escort MK1 (which we are flooded with).

Anyway, opinions... i will get out of here as soon as i can.

Ford sierra cosworth... yummmm!

NDR008 · 11-02-2004, 01:26 PM

Yeah, that is a decent car, never the less... i love toyota :P
But here, it ain't cossy only, just ford, that's it
FORD for me = Fucked Or Repaired Daily.
Nothing imo beats the banging a toyota engine can take.
