Cage Installed

Finally got the cage put in by Blitzkrieg motorsports in Milwaukee (actually just north of Racine).

Shop did a great job, especially considering the price and that it was painted ($850).

In regards to the rear bar where the seats used to be, I am going to have that carpeted over to cover the metal that is exposed.

Also, diameter allows for a future upgrade to a full cage if necessary.

Looks Nice!!
Not sure but i think by nhra rules cage must be bolted with plates to floor..Not sure if you have that done.

Thanks, I was very happy with the fit and finish.

Seating position is good, I am short so I can get in easily, only issue is getting out.

lol


Does anyone know if the seats are tied to the airbag sensors? I am getting an Airbag warning now and only thing that has happened since is this cage install with the seats being taken out.

Thanks, that has to be the issue. Do you know where or have a schematic.

Oh, and you can't see the cage from outside the car except from the rear with the two bars dropping down into the rear seats.

That looks good..

the passenger side seat is tied into the air bag crap.. you'll need to stop by the dealer and have them reset it with a tech-2... none of the tuning software can re-set it.

Thanks for the info on the airbag sensor.

BTW, also got the front caliper ground a bit and the front Holeshot skinnies fitted, looks amazing.

Looks good.. I need one as well!

Surprised to Not see swingouts or removable door bars though?

I wish/hope I can get a price like that when I get mine done, IF I get it done...

do what why did you have to do that? Mine fit fine on my car and the 05 I've tried them on..

Our Holeshots just barely touched the calipers too!
Many people use wheel spacers on the Holeshots....
we didn't. That may be the difference.

Bolts to the floor everywhere except the bars that go to the rear.

Calipers just barely touched even with the spacers...dunno why, but they did. But I am running powerslots, that might be why?

looks good

Awesome Rob... Good luck with some sick times!

The front seats are. There is a yellow connector under the seat on both side. I would disconnect th battery and they check the connectors and make sure they are attached. Don't mess with them with the car powered up . . .

Cage looks good does the plastic for rear seat entry hit the cage any?
