I know its not a proper full on cage, but my engineering friends seem to think its sturdy enough (ie not a show cage). I would prefer a full on cage, but this came up cheap and took a bit of a punt on it. It's only bolted in, so can be removed if I decide to get a proper cage  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

I do like how it's nice and low to make sure you bang your head on the roof as punishment for rolling the car over.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

This is the only thing I have against it I took a punt on it as I said, and it will be removed at some point. It was a case of "Oh it will be better than no cage" but now its fitted, I'm not so sure  ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

What does it bolt to?I'd be tempted to made some bigger mountings and push it up nearer the roof. At least then the wider portion will be closer to your shoulders and head in a crash. ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

The rear legs go to existing bolt holes where the seatbelts used to go to (i think, been a while since its had seats in) The front are just bolted to the rear footwells (base of B pillar) ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

Update timeWell, as its been a fairly long time since there has been any updates on this, i have one thats a little bit special to make up for it. Since joining this forum in 2007, I have lusted after a certain bit of kit produced by a certain Mr Walker, well the waiting has been too long and after my "f*ck it, you only live once" thinking, I have gone out and done it  I will do a proper write up when I get time (only just been ran in so only had a couple of miles with the foot down) but what I will say for now is, its f*cking awesome   Massive thanks to Rich Walker for designing the kit, it really does transform the gti6 Rich has also been very helpful during the process of getting the parts and I am more than happy with the quality of parts and his great customer service. Top man, keep up the good work  Also a massive thanks to Carl Grimsley for getting it all fitted for me ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

Then hopefully not much more being spent on it, save the money from some bloody track days ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |
