omp half cage for everyday use. this is a common question and the usual answers are half cage or no cage. after all you wont be wearing a helmet and the cage bar will be soo close to your head it just become a ticking time bomb till you hit your head

no cage in a road car imo.

no helmet and heads on a cage dont work to well

Show cages are just a waste of weight if your running a stripped out car.

Saxo_89, what cage have you got in your car? I see alot of people put
like a padding around the front bars at top by your head! I relly want a 2nd
car thats all stripped can used for weekends and in summer, etc but just finding somewhere to put it!

Do they need to be welded in and could take out if wanted seats back in in the future although i prob wont be putting back in!

its a bolt in cage and it is designed to still allow the rear seats to be fitted

cage is still by your head, your neck moves as can the shell if it crumples.


Like i say cages in road cars are not the best idea. Its why I have a road toy and a mad spec track toy

if you are thinking of a cage, you usually have your car stripped, so why look at the extra weight of 106 leathers.

another thing to think of about buckets and harnesses

if you dont have a cage and roll the car the roof will cave in
but you wont move out the way
roof+head=bad times

either way you roll a saxo its not a good out come. Also if you manage to roll a saxo on a public highway then 9 times out of 10 your being a dick so drive safe think safe

standard seats can collaprse as 2 piece in a roll
buckets dont...

you can move out of a seatbelt easily if needed, you cant harnesses

yer people get out of rolled saxos all the time but generally they arent strong and somebody has got to be looking out for you if you get out unhurt

yea i was damn lucky with mine it was a pretty fast crash and a big off

So, No to buckets and No to cage unless its going on the track .... ?

maybe a half cage in there like what rushy has
but i would avoid a cage with front legs on the road
