Mates cage

[Russ_16v]

Thought id throw up a few pictures, some may of seen it at Combe.

E34 5 series.
4.0 V8 out of a 540
Manual box conversion
Ignore the wiring - it is all being stripped out and we are making a custome loom for it.
Cage goes through bulkhead to strut tops too

Total overkill (he bought it with the cage in) but non the less looks pretty awesome

 

[Clgale88]

amazing bit of work that like it

Impressive that cage is. Bloke before didn't trust his own driving then

 

[Will.]

That's a mental looking cage.

 

[DannyR]

I think he will be safe if that rolls!

 

[p@blo]

Belt and braces that. Fair play.

 

[Fletcher]

I've had a good look at this car several times at Combe now, serious cage that!

 

[Fred@BTM]

why's he cut the door bars out?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Looks like a Custom Cages cage

 

[p@blo]

What racing format was it originally built for Russ?

 

[Matt Cup]

Any more pics of the car?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Christ almighty, no danger of falling Pianos there then lol!

 

[Englebert]

Pretty beefy. Should see some american SCCA cages though, they'd probably call the above unsafe!

 

[Gally]

Similar to the one in this...

 

[Tony Hunter]

Can see why the cross bars have been cut out,now the pic's have loaded fully,you would never get in and out at that height.

 

[JamesBryan]

Must be some weight in all that metal?

 

[david hodson]

High door bars , getting out in a crash or on fire would be silly

 

[Russ_16v]

My mate didn't cut the door bars, it came like it as said it apparently was a nightmare getting in and out.

Cage was built by a company in Scotland, was going to be their show car to show what they can do, then was a drift car, and now is my mates toy.

Will grab some more pictures soon.

Its a bit of a laugh really, wont be raced, we about to put new management on it

 

[Gally]

The car in my picture is from Scotland, Evo IX rally car, same company i'm guessing.

 

[Wick]

Was gonna say... The door "X's" have been removed at some point!

 

[mat-nos]

proper climbing frame that is lol

 

[Kam.]

High door bars , getting out in a crash or on fire would be silly

nah. Mine are really high and theres nothing like fleeing a petrol fire to get you out like a gazelle!

Clunk, click every trip! ... i think he would be safe.
