yeah.. if it were me I would add some bars that would go along the front doors.. towards the footwell area.. (hope that makes sense) and maybe a bar thats in the trunk area. So you drop the backseat down and hook your harness up to it.. otherwise when the backseat is up, its out of the way dont know if any of that would work

a full race one is more than just throwing pipes in and welding it in. Alot of those a preplannes with strength and geometry and all that so... U could do a simple one pretty easy thou. I like redgoats idea about the backseat thing.

redgoats right never, i dont need it. Why should i, if i ever need it i think audi has mad these good enough that i wouldnt. I have heard a ton of these storys of amazing wrecks and ppl (medics or cops) saying if u didnt have an audi u would prolly be dead or very injured.

Redgoat i have new rims dont i? the ecodes are at my house, waiting for thursday to install (hopefully) i gotta call the guy back and make sure the HID came in.

That subarus cage is crazy... and seeing the amount of work that went into it... NOBODY could get THAT cage for cheap! lol, cheapER maybe... but man, they spent some serious time on that thing! I bet you could save an assload by gutting the car yourself though!

A friend of a friend has a 92 Eagle Talon that puts 576 hp to the ground (2.5L evo motor), and before he caged it, the facker twisted like a noodle under accelleration! Now it just squats, and spin the tires at 50mph :P All four of them! haha

I think the only rollcages that would be any benefit chassis rigidity wise would be the larger ones, that encapsulate the whole cabin, fron t to rear. The smaller onje above would only serve as a safety device.

This one..



Is far superior in rigiduty terms than this one...
