Steel 40mm pipe 2.2mm wall thickness

I will be selling my Safety 21 roll cage (Black one not Blue vesion)

asking $600

($900 with shipping is full retail price + 6months of waiting for this part to come over on the slow boat)

It has only been installed for less then 2 months and only the rear section (hoop, back legs and harness bar) were installed.
For install times it should only take approx 4 to 5 hrs to install.


The front bars if installed would have require me to relocate my gauge pod (minor problem for me ) and with the way the dash bars are made it would make to way to difficult for me to get in and out since I am such a big guy.

 

Since I don't have a car right now I'm not a buyer but I would be very interested in seeing pictures. Will this bar meet SCCA regs?

 

yes it will meet SCCA requirements

the wall thickness is within the wall requirement if you interpolate between the max pipe dim/wall thickness and the min pipe dim/wall thickness.

What type of racing are you wanting to do Parking lot autocross, Time trials, Wheel to wheel ..ect????

If you are doing Parking lot auto X a roll cage is not a requirement but does help a lot due too the stiffing of the car

For time trials /W2W you may be able to get away with not welding the joints; however if you are going to be using this cage in those types of events I would suggest after getting everything bolted down/aligned that you weld the legs in place and weld the bolt locations around the cage just for a bit more strength.


THIS IS NOT THE CUSCO CAGE
The CUSCO cage is very unsafe when conditions lead to high speeds
The CUSCO cages have wall thicknesses as small as .89mm in some places with average wallthickness some hwere around 1.2mm

THIS IS THE SAFETY 21 version
Safety 21 is the racing division of CUSCO that makes there cages for there road race cars. Wall thickness in the Safety 21 average 2.2mm but are inspected to be no less then 2.0mm

The CUSCO cages are used in the drift cars because of the lighter weight and the lower vehicle speeds.

The video link shows some shots of just the back section installed

Thanks for the link and the info. Like I said above, I'm not a buyer right now but I do find this very interesting. I guess this can serve as bumps to keep this near the top.

I've done a good deal of autocrossing and here's the car I've been running in Time Trials for the last few years.


I'm not sure I'm ready to go back to a street based track car but if and when I do the S2K will be very near the top of the heap of choices. That's why I'm interested in keeping up with any good bar that's out there.

 

Why in the world would you want to start autoxing the S2k when you have been in something like that

 

CG had a 00 S2k back in 00. He's still got the fever

 

Mugen, both you and Slow are right. I bought an S2K in 99 when I was heavy into autocrossing. Then I got a shot at driving a Formula V, a Formula Ford, a DSR, and a V8 powered Atlantic knockoff. I was hooked on driving "real" racecars so in early 02 I sold the S2000 and picked up the Formula 2000 FC. It would be VERY hard to go back to driving something that corners as poorly as an S2000 or just about any other street based car but I do still love the S2K and may someday buy another one to play with. I'm not sure what my next racecar will be, could be another FC, or maybe FM, DSR, CSR, or I hope even a FA. Still, right now I don't own a sportscar for street driving and maybe a little autoXing and it's driving me nuts.

 

Ever think about a Caterham?

 

I sure have and somehow I've never driven any type of "7." We did have a family of three running one with us a couple of years ago and when it ran right it was damned fast. While I don't have the money for it right now I think I'd be more likely to go for an Atom.
