hi badguy, :D

a roll cage is normally found in race cars....e.g rally car, nascar..
they actually protect the driver from getting injured during accident or when the car roll over.....
you can those race cars inside have beams and it looks like a cage....

i hope i answered your question... B)

hi sam1741 :D

i totally agree with you about the roll cage in our cars....
i definitely save many lives....

i am not sure y JPJ wouldnt allow it...but i think that when the car is roll caged...then it would be classified as race car and not passenger car... :unsure:

and also the car would be heavier with the roll cage thus making it harder to run.....

dont you think so...?

roll cage is actually some kind of steel (or other materials) that forms a cage to protect the driver in case of heavy accidents or if the car turtles during the race...it is fixed in a car with points which actually been calculated to determined the car weakness points in the driver area it self.....its a mandatory this days that racing car must have roll cage fitted in them i.e MME.....

its illegal because the is stated in the JPJ rules that on road vehicles cannot have racing parts or equipments fitted on them....so u see when we put roll cage even it can saves us during accidents it is really illegal.....like other performance part for racing ppl tends to put also...but sumtimes they get away with it sumtimes they dont i.e boost meters,racing clucth,cams,turbos and etc.....

:rolleyes:

firemen may find it too hard to get victim out of a roll-caged car...hv to cut all the steel bar before can pull victim out of car..

my 2 cents

no la... not really will hurt your head
cause i saw some street cars with roll cage..
the wrap the place near their head with soft things.. like sponge....
so when the head hit the rollcage in small accident wont hurt....

those sponge like thing that they wrap on the rollcage are actually energy-absorbing material, it's purpose is to cushion the impact in the event of accident.. etc etc... when you press it, it actually feels quite hard... ie.. if your car has the padding and you hit your head on it without helmet... you'll feel it also...


rollcage is quite a hindrance to driver's ingress and egress ... if you look at race cars.. on the driver's side, there's more triangulation of tubings to protect the driver against side impact, and on the passenger side, it's more 'unprotected'..
imagine if you install proper rollcage in your car, you'll have to crawl and drag your arse into your car everytime you get in or out...

that one FIA-homologated rollcage?

a normal car will twist when it's subjected to forces
if you install rollcage, you're stiffening up the car, and with that, the suspension et al has to be upgraded as well, or else the handling will go down the drains

in my opinion, a road car is a road car, shd be left alone... and if wanna install all these fancy stuff.. only do it on a track car... but that's just me

:)

My last DIY post on the oil catch tank raised a question or two and I received a few PMs asking almost the same thing : "What if I don't want to modify anything but want a clean throttle body?"

Well here's my response : Clean your throttle body.
