Default Roll Cage



I want to add a roll cage to my 92 talon and was wondering if anyone has made their own? I have a friend that is a welder so it will be cheap and he does it all the time. But I can't find any plans anywhere on the web. If you have any pictures of your cage could you please post them.</P>


Thanks</P>

<FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono" color=blue size=1>WTF!, roll cage, what the hell are you packing under that hood?, People with stage2+ turbos get roll cages. But if you can't find any sites. Go on searching in KAZAA, that should come up with something, or I heard GOOGLE gets better results for stuff then YAHOO does, but its your choice, hope this helps.PEACE</FONT></P>

I'm not packing that much under the hood...yet. but I have a friend that works in a Off roading garage and his boss said that we could make me a roll cage for just the cost of the tubing, so I figured why not do it.</P>

<FONT face="Courier New, Courier, mono" color=blue size=1>ok well why not do it:here are some good reason NOT to:</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff size=1>1) it adds more weight to yur car</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff size=1>2) if you dont got nothing extremely fast/and or powerful, then why use a roll cage?</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff size=1>3) it would look butt *** ugly, i mean think about it!!!</FONT></P>


<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff size=1>4) just cause its free doesnt mean squat, people who get roll cages are people who have 50,000+$$$$$ under the hood, or at least be most wise! if I were you I would have second thoughts</FONT></P>

Heres why I would do it.</P>


Its add chassis stability.</P>


I think that it would look so bad ***.</P>


I don't like to drag race. I like to do tracks. So just in case I flip my car(I don't see it happening but you never know.)</P>


People who get roll cages and drag race. per NHRA rules are people who run 11.99-11.00 ETs. Which you don't need to spend $50,000+ To get there.</P>


But I see your points too. I also decided against it because my friends boss wanted to charge me labor also. That Jerk.. Oh well, its probably for the best that it didn't work out.</P>

Add to it the understregnth unibody frame, and a complete roll cage is a reasonable thought. Look at accident photos of an eclipse 1st gen
