Because the way to get approval is testing, and Japanese companies could care less about safety testing with American sanctioning bodies. People here find a local shop to build them a cage, they don't import cages and bolt them into race cars.

Cusco cages are not just show cages, there are plenty of cars that compete with the cusco cages. I believe the aj-r car has one. He competes in a variety of different events. What's wrong with bolting in a cage, using high tensile bolts? No offense I would rather have a bolt than most of the welds made here in South Florida. I have seen to many broken welds!

So why are they not allowed?

 

Hey Fyrefag, did you not read what i wrote. I WANT TO SEE AN ARTICLE! REAL PROOF. Not some stupid shit that comes out of your lieing mouth(or fingers in this case) Scan it take a PIC i dont care what you do, just show me your DATA!

 

BTW thats MY OPINION, i am entitled to it

 

Agreed, there may not be something structurally wrong with the Cusco cages (who really knows), however the reason they are not allowed is because they have not been safety tested and SFI/FIA approved. Just like GReddy spends money to CARB certify turbo kits, Cusco would have to spend money to certify their cages.

Regarding the AJ-R car, the sanctioning bodies they run with (like Redline Time Attack) are not very strict when it comes to safety so that is why the get away with it. I've seen/heard of NASA/SCCA tech officials actually drilling into a roll cage to check for the right wall thickness on the tubing.

Again, it's not JDM hating, it's just facts... The Cusco cage may be adequate, but who knows until they're tested...

 

Hey Oscar i open bigger cans than that


BTW When you coming out to a meet? I havent seen your Bolivean ass in a loooong time.

 

Classy, why did they allow you back on these forums again? Grow up.

 

I keep reading, and not seeing actual DATA.....to much typing not enough ACTUAL PROOF.
