If you have to ask, you shouldn't be building a cage.

Just get an autopower cage.. unless you guys have the pipe bender and every other tools you need available.

If you have to ask, you shouldn't be building a cage.


there is truth to that statement

you just can drop bars in a car and call it a cage

its gotta be built a certain way

Truth!


Leave it to the pros.... and if you really want to do cages. Learn from the pros.

A badly designed cage is more dangerous than no cage.

[seksehowy]

just add wheels on the roof when it flipped over u'll just roll. i kid i kid...-_-;

[Sydeways]

I made a cage one time, and I caught a raccoon thingy in it!

[kenny]

[kenny]

[down_shift]

truth dont get all butt hurt. we understand where your coming from. hey we dont know anythign maybe your dad is soe old school drag builder for all we know. but asking for a layout does make you come off as a novice. search the internet for cage builds and guides. People are right though a cage is not something you want to do as your first fabrication prject.

Hope you understand what your taking on.

[kenny]

yeah my dad has some exp and i did look all over the internet all the same no info and if you wount the info they got you got to buy a book or something the only reason i posted on here is i tought i would ask some people who knew what they were talking about and every one else thanks for all you response good or bad

[hellfire]

Most S13 Cages have the same basic layout.

Here are a couple examples.

that one is the good one.
there are books about building real deal race cars.

also you have to make sure you follow the rules for whatever club you're going to race with.

WTF?

Seriously

What
The
Fuck
?

Did you hit yourself in the head with the tubing already? :screwy:



Like Patrick said, make sure you follow the right rules and regulations when building a cage. DOM, the right inner and outer diameter, only a certain amount of bends, etc., etc. ,etc.

i hope your fabrication skills are better than your grammar.

[P.Haire]

hafe is a word, although i think it's spelled haif.
