Re: Cage pics
well, since this is the SE-R cup section...
NASA mandates that you retain the stock side impact beams in your car, or if you remove them, you must put in NASCAR style bars, per NASCAR rules and regulations. NASA rules require either that, or an "x brace" in the cage along with the stock side impact bars, giving you that all important "buffer zone."
the only problem is, you couldnt really do both, as entry would be a serious act in contortionism, so you pick. i was going to go the NASCAR style route (despite my extreme revulsion to the actual "sport") when i started thinking (uh oh, here i go doing THAT again). the NASCAR style side beams would more than likely add more weight than removal of the side impact beams and as George pointed out, would not really add that much to the structure of the car.
