That looks pretty damn beefy.

What are you building the car to do? Drift i'm assuming?

Looks awesome, but sometimes I wonder if building a cage that beefy is just adding weight. At what point have you made the car about as stiff as necessary and adding more points is deterring your performance by making your car heavy? I'm no cage expert... so don't take what I say as advice. I'm just genuinely curious.

That's a serious cage. Any idea what engine you're gonna go with? I'm about to put a 4 point in mine, mainly to tie up the rear struts and use a harness bar.

I use to think the same also but there's cars out there with crazier cages then mine lol also the funny part bout it is it still weighs less then it did with full interior lol And I'm always curious also Lol

Motor wise im going with an SR swap, not a big fan of all these v8 swaps going on lately, sick swaps don't get me wrong but not my cup of tea
