Mike B Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I have one in mine and had a heart attack when asking for the new prices. Mine's ok, but steel and heavy... managed to pick mine up second hand but still paid a small fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Any polished rear cages nic? The Cusco ones are powder coated steel. The Carbing ones are brushed aluminium, the same as the strut braces I supply. See pic below. Looking at the weight of the the steel Cusco ones (4 point = 13kg, 6 point = 24kg) they won't be too expensive to post, provided they pack down to less than 1.5m in lenth when disassembled. If anyone wants confirmed delivered prices, I'll get more information from my supplier. http://f10.putfile.com/7/18616394351.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Curse you Nic. Stop posting things I did'nt know I wanted! lol. Although I have been wondering about what would happen if I get T-boned when my carbon fibre doors & cards are fitted and whether it would wise to get some form of additional side protection.

Wez Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Are these cages made to fit a Supra then or are they generic cages that need a bit of shoe horning to get in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Do you have any pics of the rear cage ? Do you know if it sits high enough to add some harness's to I know a guy here with one fitted (can't remember if it is the Cusco or Carbing one), his is a full cage, but it should be the same. I'll try to get some pics if I can. There are diagrams of the cages here if it helps. http://www.okuyama-go.to/products/carbing/index.html http://www.cusco.co.jp/english/e_rollbar.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
