I’m planning to run a couple of hillclimbs and need a full cage. I considered adding Autopower’s front section to my existing rollbar but I’d like to see pics of cages in 5 door Fiestas if anyone has one. Thanks in advance.

If you are gonna go race car, go race car. Head liner out, go behind the dash, go through the firewall to pick up the shock towers, etc.

Not the post I was looking for homeboy. You gotta splitter that jiggles. 😂 I’m not building a rally car. I just wanna do a few hill climbs a year. No need to gut my shit for that.

You need to gut it cuz race car. I double dog dare yah.

That said I ran a hill climb with my Civic back in the day. Just had a roll bar? Does Chasing the Dragon require a full cage now?

I don’t think SCCA does but the Appalachian hill climb did. I’d feel a lot safer and probably go faster with a cage. Man our cars are built for hill climbs. We should go.

…and I need your dogbox 🙏

When I built my '73 Toyota Corolla for rallying, I had my cage custom made by Steve Scott here in Los Angeles. I had 80 feet of cage in that car. I wasn't taking any chances because it saved me when I crashed coming out of the Grand Canyon. Crossed the line at the end of the stage, couldn't make the corner and flew about 10 feet down and hit the deck. My 6 point harness stretched and my helmet hit the steering wheel. Do NOT skimp on safety! I survived!

There’s no way I’d do a hill climb without a cage. I’ve decided to have a custom cage built here in Atlanta. Hoping to see what others have done but have full trust in my builder. Hopefully some pics popup in here for me and others down the road.
