Krzys Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Personally I don't see the point in a show cage, go hard or go home I say! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Personally I don't see the point in a show cage, go hard or go home I say! Exactly this .. Either build one for a purpose or not at all.. Waste of time and pointless additional weight .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marv Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Seen a picture a few years ago on passion ford with a fiesta fitted with a show cage that ha an accident. The car rolled over and the cage crushed! Actually more dangerous to have fitted in a crash tbh as it's extra metal that could crush or trap anyone inside. I'd personally never fit one, would be better off with a proper cage. Had a saftey device rear cage in a escort I had and it stiffened the shell rite up.

DeLaSoul Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Exactly this .. Either build one for a purpose or not at all.. Waste of time and pointless additional weight .. In all seriousness a show cage is pointless, and let me be very blunt - a total joke. Don't mean to be rude as I know that a lot of the time money and usability are key concerns with any project build but I've seen show cages that have caused way more harm than good and to anyone seriously into racing will know anything safety related (for looks or otherwise) is a major matter. I look at some of the things that people do with "chassis reinforcement" and just want to go over and slap the owner for putting people lives at risk (including their own). Not picking on you dude, you've just asked a question in good faith, but just don't do it for your own sake. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
