I think your referring to Cusco cages....POS..
I believe its only for looks and is not legal to run at most sanctioning bodies events..

i might get a bolt on one for my 2door, just wondering how heavy it is.... i need it for harness bar mainly,Bolt on ones are good......but safer if welded (and bolted down). Autopower has better bolt-ons then Cuscocrap. I want more pics of peeps with auto power cages preferably four doors or wagons.
My weld-in half cage was over 85 lbs with door bars and the plates.i might get a bolt on one for my 2door, just wondering how heavy it is.... i need it for harness bar mainly,

What exactly are you planning on doing with said cage? If you're planning on track or rally you'll need more cage than that, but for most HDPE or hillclimbs you'll probably be ok
thanksLove my autopower! I bought it really for the same reason, the harness bar since there really isn't anything ready made for our coupes.
Pictures can be found toward the end of my member journal.
Point taken, but I still stand beside the mantra, "Anything worth doing is worth doing well." My life is more important to me than saving money on a mod.And your struts wheels and anything else is held on by what?
Ohh and your stock seat belts, seats and everything else is held in by just that. Bolts. Get over your fear!
And how do you propose that a bolt on cage is any different then a weld in cage.Point taken, but I still stand beside the mantra, "Anything worth doing is worth doing well." My life is more important to me than saving money on a mod.
Tim, I totally understand your basic philosophical point, but reality is that bolt-in harness bars and cages can definitely be engineered to meet the strength requirements put forth by sanctioning bodies and interested parties. As was pointed out, all the belts and seats in the car from the factory rely on bolts. As long as they are large enough and of the proper material, there's nothing to fear from a bolt-in cage or harness bar. If the well-known ones claiming to meet sanctioning requirements (i.e. Autopower) didn't, the world would know by now.Point taken, but I still stand beside the mantra, "Anything worth doing is worth doing well."
