WOW, I love these cars bad..

zodiaque,if you going for a full restoration of the chassis and body, why not put in a roll cage one time if the budget permits. there are a few of these that I see now that look really well kept.

Passion is priceless (Tatsuru Ichichima, Spoon Sports)....

If you guys interested we could talk. Sounds like a useful "week-end project".

I have a foreign "bolt-in" ("Cusco") cage (with padding) for an E6 that we could use for design... It goes through dashboard, but that's the stronger way. That's why I bought it in the first place.

If you all interested we could use as a pattern for connectors, braces etc. BTW a "local" weld-in cage costs up to $14k TT. Many from "sheit" mild steel tube, or exhaust pipe (not good.) We should be able it make "padded" custom-fit cages for about half that cost (I hope!)

We have to make male and female connectors and buy 2 mm "carbon steel" or equivalent. Then bend PVC "mock-up" and fit in sample car for good fit. We need a "heat gun"! Who has one? My EX 1800 GSR is available for "set-up" if you all want to use it.

If enough 2nrs are interested we can get lower price for connector-manufacture with group buy. A 2nr wants connectors for E6 cage as well. I want two sets - one E6 / one EX Lancer. That's three right there, so costs can go even lower.

The biggest problem is the bending and fabrication work. 'Rasta' Darryl in Bamboo is good, but forget it. He will never have the time for this. I waited for over six months (finally gave up.) Forget Wayne Persad in Sando too (crap material, and no facilities to machne connectors well.) One other option. Let me know. Very Happy

I would have been interested if I had the dough and If i could have put the car down for a whille and do all the bodywork one time. If any of you decide to go ahead with it I would sure like to come and see how it's done Very Happy

how much so yuh lookin at in a ballpark figure for everything hoss Question

, its gettin more interesting now Rolling Eyes

when its done can the cage come out of the car, or it'll be welded in. Question

Pattern (Evo 4-6 cage) is "bolt-in" ("12 or 14-point" AFAIK) so yup cage can be removed.
Each cage could be made to your particular needs... your design (following the pattern)
So less connectors, tubing and fabricating = lower cost.

For my cars (E6 and EX GSR) the cages will be close to upholstry (almost "built-in")
It will go through dashboard (to floor) and rear parcel shelf (following rear
roof-line) to "tie-in" with rear shock mounting points.
So mine will cost me more than others who want less.
"X" brace in rear seat area (and front door side-bars) will also be removable for
the street (add-on for Solodex, circuit, drags etc.)

We need more 2nrs first, to bring down the price for connectors.
I can supply "donor car" (EX Lancer) for "set-up" + E6 cage as sample for fabrication...
So someone get a price for 2 mm thick, seamless, carbon steel tube ($$$ per 20 ft. length.)
We could use 2mm thick "chrome moly" seamless tubing if we can't get carbon steel (???)

Meanwhile, if anyone knows good engineering firm personally, we can take a section of cage for them to measure, for quote on connectors required.

check kamikaze , he works at tropical engineering , rather he owns tropical engineering

Sanctifier · Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2006 6:25 am Post subject:

Okay... and I have a secure, covered space to work on it in the Maraval area (near Savannah.) Sample cage and tools there too (and camera for pix.)

If somebody puts together the tubing supplier, costing and other details maybe we can start on it soon. Then maybe in a couple weeks you can bring kamikaze to look at what we've done (with 1st the wire-frame model and 2nd the PVC template) and give a quote on connectors??? Very Happy

Design pix and real world samples coming soon... Wink
