If you look at the cage, I cut out part of the factory support to mount the rear bars. So there's a big gap missing there. I mean I guess you could do the cage and then trim and fit the panels, but some may have to go. I guess it depends on what you want. As for pricing, it would depend on how it was done. It's going to be a lot of extra work to either design the cage around keeping the interior stuff or fitting up all the interior panels after, so I don't really know how much I would charge to do it. But fitting up all the panels would definitely negate the money saved from not running door bars and then some. Anyway, here's the pics from tonight.All done.

I knew Chi would get mad if it didn't work like normal, so I made everything fit around it. A couple of the pictures below show the fitment of the lever and the hooks with the cage. Anyway, for those who don't know me, I'm Tim, I own TIP Engineering and am the one building Chi's cage. I'm excited, this is the first vert that I've done. It's a toss up which is easier a vert or a coupe, but the vert should be a lot cooler, well at least you can play around on the monkey bars a lot more with a vert. Here's the rest of the pics of the cage. The door bars and roof bar are in, the dash just needs to be fitted and then everything can go back in and Chi can get whatever else he needs to get ready for doing the drifty on Wednesday. Anyone who's local should come out the event is going to be aweomse. You can come see the cage, the DA guys are going to be there. So come out and drive, it's always cool to see more people out there. Oh and before the pics, I'll repond to some of the comments. Keeping the back interior panels would probably make things a lot harder than it needs to be. To keep them, you would have to space the main hoop in even further than it already needs to be on the vert. The main hoop is something like 5" thinner than the coupe/hatch main hoop already. So with the panels you would need to move it in even further, which would require the door bars to have an even more extreme bend than you see on Chi's car. Of course this would depend on how you want the door bars to fit and what seats you're running. Chi's seats are a little wider than most, so the door bars needed to be bent further out than if he were running a smaller seat. But be keeping the panels and putting a bigger bend in the door bars, you would be moving the center of the x even further back. I just don't think it would be worth it. I don't think there's really much else though. I'll either post pics or let Chi do it after the dash gets fit up and everything else goes back in the car. So sometime tomorrow afternoon/evening they should be up. Anyway, picture time. Anyway, for those who don't know me, I'm Tim, I own TIP Engineering and am the one building Chi's cage.

It's a sparco evo 2, made for fatties like me. My equipment list:1. Megan Racing brackets - like 99 bucks or something on ebay2. 2 sets of sparco side mounts - paid about 50-60 a set, shipped. Again, ebay...and I had to wait for these prices.3.Sparco Evo 2 seats - they come in evo size, evo 2, and evo xl for you real large fatties. This set I copped for $450! Practically new, no rips or tears. Only thing I hate is the color.1. So, the side mounts suprising fit on the megan brackets, only problem is: The seat is not normal size (at least the base), so I had to slot out the openings on the side mounts and the bracket. I kept doing this trial and error, little at a time...since the less I need to slot out...the stronger the bracket should be. Also to guage how much I would need to do this before I butcher the passenger set. Here are some pics:Finished setAfterthoughts: Maybe it's my car...or just the pair of brackets I had...but just FYI: I had the hardest f'ing time mounting the entire assembly back into the car after I was done. The "240sx megan bracket" didn't seem to line up anywhere with the bolt holes on the floorpan. So, I had to mallet here and there...and even use an impact wrench at one point. the result: A slightly tilted seat. Anyways...after this wednesday I'll come back to look at it. Besides, tilted right is not so bad anyway...since I'm always leaning my elbow on the center console. It just looks madddd gay from the back though - you can tell the seat is tilted.also fyi: Even on the lowest setting, I still feel the seat is a bit higher than stock...even with the cushions out. For those of you who don't know...I tried using a set of nagisa rails before which was impossible with a wide seat like this. Again, I'll come back to this height problem later. 1.
