Few ideas at the moment guys.
Personally i think most people here with newage cars wanting a cage will not be competeing. Theyre most likely fast road/trackday guys that want a little extra should the worst happen.
With that in mind im thinking a bolt in a rear cage very much GT3 RS/R26-R style.
This will also be acceptable on the roads for most, as it poses no danger to the driver and insurance companies should also not throw a paddy about it.
My other idea is a full blown cage, but this is something i need to discuss with my cage builder. Its about time us newage boys had something available.
Obviously the MSA compliance will be looked into regarding the full cage.
Personally ive built my car as a fast road car with a track orientated theme, so the GT3 RS style, fit, finish and fuction is where im aiming at.
I'll keep you all posted in the new year.

What Safety Devices have done on their bolt in track day rear cage is create a solid platform for the rear stays using a tube that mounts to the lower rear seatbelt hole and upper rear strut tower bolts (see photos). This looks like a great way of doing it.
What I HATE about their design is that the main hoop isn't located at all (only by the supporting un-triangulated frame). It would be far better to locate the main hoop using the existing holes designed for the front seatbelts (as per the Renault Clio 200 example).

Yep, i would also like to see it pickup on the upper seatbelt points on the B pillar. Also i dont think there is any point in doing one that allows the rear seats to stay in situe. After all, nobody will use them.
Incorportaed harness bar will also be in there.
Like i said guys, this wont happen over night but is my plans to get something moving early in the new year. it WILL happen.
