I still have the cage and it`s still taking up too much space in the garage.
The thing is a bolt in type and comes in 6 parts. 2x front parts that bolt
to the NS and OS foot well which continue up the pillars to either side of
the interior light. 1x bar that connects the 2 front parts horizontally
together along the top of the windscreen.
1x roll bar that bolts to the floor just behind the NS and OS seats. 2x rear
parts that go from just below the NS and OS rear seat belt inertia wheels
behind the rear seat to the top of the roll bar. There is no rear diagonal
or door bars to climb over which makes the cave very unobtrusive. You can
still get in and out the car the normal way and you can still cave rear
passengers. Fit and forget!!!! It is covered in white foam padding and is
painted black in colour. I would remove this as it will be minted under the
foam.I have all the bolts and plates as well. It is made from heavy duty
tubing which weighs a ton so its not one of those cosmetic things, it`s
built to work. The main reason why I`m not fitting it is cos. I am trying to
keep the weight of the RA as low as poss. If I had a WRX with all the toys
I probably would have kept it. As for how much, I don't know how much a cage
for a WRX is new so I don't know what my cage is actually worth, however I
am looking for £150. If you have any other queries then please get back to
me.
PS. I am waiting to here from a guy in the next few days or so who has been interested in it for the last couple of weeks. Will let you know if he buyes or not. Other wise it`s a free for all!

However surely to work correctly in a crash scenario additional work would need to be carried out to the chasis ie being fully seam welded as the chasis will now be the weak member? but it would give additional stiffness i presume under normal conditions.
