Picked up my cage from Deako yesterday. Big thanks goes out to him for sorting out the cages and help fitting

Random question.....have they put lower spec seats in the 200cup than the 197 cup?

Yeah, they dont come with the headrests and im not 100% sure, but they might not be split folding.

Looks great Paul.

Which was the tricky mounting that means removing the quarter trims?

 

[Deako]

Rear 1/4 panels out, carpets and foam pulled back to allow cage to sit on the floor to get the right angle for mounting. Didnt realise carpets needed to be pulled back, and we already had the cage in, so was a bit of a struggle. Worth noting for anyone else.

Also, there is a loom on the N/S that needs to be pulled over the cage plate, and on the O/S there is a thinner loom and the washer pipe that needs to be pulled over. Unless you do this, you cant get the cage into position, and you wouldnt want it to snag on the looms anyway.

So erm, what's the benefit of a roll cage in a road car? Not sure I'm really understanding the attraction especially when it renders your rear seats useless as well.

If you intend to do track days, and worst case scenario, you roll your car.

It will stop your skull being caved in.

He wants to retain the parcel shelf and boot segregation. Its better for security at the end of the day if you keep anything in the boot.

This.

It does look better without the seat/parcel shelf, but as I use my boot often, I dont really want to advertise its contents to pikeys.
