Rollcage for street car

[Snoop_gee]

Hi guys,

Just looking at potential opportunity to have a welded in rollcage and yet still have the vehicle street registered.

In the vicroads website the following information appears to be superseded.

does anyone have some current experience/conditions in 2013.
\is it only half cage or can it be full cage?

I looked on google nothing recent came up.

Half cage only for street. Bolt in has some advantages over weld in depending on the use of the car

So all the cars ive seen driving on the street with a full cage are illegal?

Or engineered prior to the law changing

get a 4 point cage, with bolt in a pillar bars for the track. or just get the 4 point engineered and then rock the a pillar bars anyway

What's the point of having a cage on the street ?

Save your money and buy good tyres with it instead..

I've seen so many cars with cages that have never seen the track, I never understand it.

To be totally honest, unless its a 16 point welded cage with gussets welded to the pillars, the rigidity benefits arent that great.

Lucky I track my car



That's a legal half cage for nsw

Ive heard that most cars that run a bolt in or Japanese made cage aint allowed to compete in most CAMS or ANDRA affiliated races due to there lack of structural design and more importantly being not welded in, any truth to this? Was considering a bolt in cage in the future for track work so i can run a harness for my bucket seat

One thing to note with the idea of using a harness for extra safety. You are exposing yourself to a whole new hazard. The OEM seat belt and airbag works great. When switching to the use of a harness it is strongly recommended that you use a HANS device. This is because there is no give in the harness like there is with a seat belt/ airbag setup. That in turn means with the weight of your head and helmet move forward while your body stays still. Your neck is now the weak point. Earlier this year there was a death as a result. This is a extra cost that most people dont take into account.

dnapol is correct. Unless your going door to door, which 95% of us don't. Bolt in cages are fine. BUT, the rules have changed in a few states as to cage design and dimensions. Sadly for some versions of the japanese cages (safety 21/cusco/carbing), It means you cannot legally run them on a road car.
