Yeah I can see your point there, the car isnt that serious Im building it for an all round fun car motorkana, super sprints hill clmbs, drifting maybe a fun day at the drag strip. The main reason for the cross falling short of the bend was connecting with the center lines from the rear horizontal bars and side intrusion, it has the diagonal to support the hoop on the drivers side, I chose to leave the extra cross bar out for ease of access. There is always improvements to be made, give it a couple of years I recon I'll look at another cage for it, as this one is rather basic. I was curious to hear your throughts, if you have time shoot me a pm Cheers Kieran PS. cage build looks good, nice to see someone finally explaining the amount of work involved people just dont understand when it comes to costs.

whats the deal here? You buy a kit cage, liturally slap it in it, your suddenly the expert and have the right to openly critise a much more qualified, experienced and professional product? My responce is go have sit in your car and have second thought about the misa-lined, unlevel, butchered, undercut porus welded bars currently installed in your vehicle, I'd meet some standards before administering them on others. the cage was built to cams regulations all by the book, its fully removable cant tag it off to the pillar the cage is built from the same materials and is exactly the same design as yours minus the centre bar. All to the book right down to the last full stop. The crash its self was more than simple roll over there was marks on the trees several meters off the ground well out from the bank/cliff and would have been traveling faster than 80km. whats the difference between putting a car on its lid at 200km at the track? Chances are the end result will be the same hospital. At the end of the day its only added safety no matter what you do, we build cages to suit the user and their requirements, offering them best advice possible with the design and budget. END RANT.

just for the topics sake here is my cage

some more photos I found during the construction rear half was one piece bolt in item.

Sorry daimo but you are incorrect. Azcustom (aaron and myself) built the cage yes New? dont think so, new to you maybe? photos tell more thruth than your post unfortunately... bloke had a sore head (no helmet on sighting lap) his fingers are fine and I dont think that you class this as collapsed... considering the impact. And it was a full bolt in cage. hope these clear up any doubts about our workman ship.
