    Still doesn't change the fact that it's unsafe. If being anal about safety makes me conceited, then I'm that arrogant prick you never want to meet.

    What sanctioning body is this cage for? Just wondering because of the welds in the corners of the main hoop and the bolt together sections. Is it for a road race application?

    If its not being driven, what does it not being safe have to do with anything?

    Because it promotes the idea that janky-ass cage work is acceptable, and the people that don't know any better will think it's ok.

    Fact is, a roll cage is meant to save the occupant's life in the case of an on-course accident. It's not there to look pretty, flashy, or let you hang your stuffed animals up.

    I honestly dont know a shitty cage from a spectacular awesome cage. But im not stupid enough to put a couple pieces of conduit in the back of my car and call it a cage. If I think im gonna go start auto-xing, I will go pay the money to have one built

    Shitty examples like this DO NOT PROMOTE SAFETY! That's my problem with it. It's not a matter of 'getting over it,' it's a matter of educating those who don't know any better. Which leads to...

    You're at least a step or two ahead of the idiot that owns the car in the OP, haha.

    Yes, well not road RACE but time trials and track day car, I don't think any road racing classes allow any bolt in cages of any form anymore.

    I never thought a cage was for "looks". Always for safety in race cars, and fast street/race cars. So, this person is dumb.

    And, anyone who puts a cage in a car "just for looks" is stupid imo...

    Oh, ok. I didnt think that there was any sanctioning body that would allow bolt ins either. And to go along with the stuff that AFSIL80 is saying, a roll cage in a street car can be unsafe (possibility of hitting your head on a piece of roll bar)and a crappy roll cage is def not safe(breaks apart and impales or worse the occupants). AFSIL80 has seen some safe quality roll cages constructed so he knows what he is talking about.

    Racing harnesses (4 or 5 point) are not allowed on the street right?

    I know its off topic but i was wondering because a poor cage would also not allow for proper placement of harnesses.

    Just to play devils advocate, how is that show "cage" any different than the chrome hoop "style bar" as Mazda calls it that was available as a stock factory option on a Miata? At least Honda has never offered a COSMETIC "roll bar", this is just an idiot that doesn't know any better. What's worse, an idiot with a show car that doesn't know any better or a manufacturer selling 1,000's to idiots that don't know any better




    How about these aftermarket ones? What happens when an owner rolls and this thing folds over their head? A hoop is useless for anything other than trapping and/or strangling the occupants if it doesn't have perpendicular support.

    The hoop isn't welded, that's the perpendicular bars going to the back.

    I believe Schroth makes the only US DOT approved harnesses, I know for a fact that was true 4 years ago.

    http://www.schrothracing.com/main/Engineering

    "SCHROTH street legal harness belts are unique in their ability to be installed to factory provided mounting points along with the factory provided seat belts. SCHROTH harness belts meet all certification requirements by the German TÜV, ECE-R 16.04 and US-DOT FMVSS 209 for use on public roads. Each belt comes with complete installation and operating instructions. If your vehicle is listed in the included Vehicle Reference List the installation has been tested and appoved with the stock seat or the listed aftermarket seats.

    SCHROTH QuickFit harnessbelts have the make and model of the applicable car printed on the tail strap label.

    Unlike most other aftermarket harness belts, most SCHROTH street legal harness belts have a unique disconnect feature between the front part of the harness and the rear tail strap. When you are not using the SCHROTH street legal harness belts, they can be stored out of the way allowing complete access for all passengers and full use of all factory seat belts."

    I thought that was the case with them being illegal.

    Is the only reason this particular one is legal have to do with it allowing the use of oem seatbelts?

    It's just a roll bar, but I was making the point from the same angle.

    NOTHING is ok about style bars on Miatas.

    got a link?

    most everyone who actually road races/ tracks/ has any feasible knowledge of rollbars and how they are supposed to be constructed pretty much agrees that the cusco cages are worse than not having a cage at all...
