Please let me know if anyone has a left hand drive RX-8 and a Cusco roll cage. Cusco has said that they're not sure if it will fit. They only test fit it on right-hand drive models.

 

i belive it will fit because i have look at them myself here is a picture of a car with a 6 point i now it not an RX-8 but if u look at the cage the left and right side is the same

 

it will fit.I spoke to Cusco at the last 7stock...i wish I could get it but the baby seat will make it a hard fit.

 

Thanks a ton guys. I'll be ordering it next weekend along with some Bride Gias Andromedas, a Nardi wheel, gauges, 5th point for my harnesses, and HKS ignition upgrades.

 

why would you want a roll cage ? For Street ? I hope this is your pure race car.

Cuz if you drive it without Helmet, when collision happens, you're going straight to heaven.

 

isnt that what they make padding for? from my experience with out a cage while jumping a curb while drifting my head did hit the top roof in the car by the door (and yes my seat belt was on) there is padding there so that help my head a lot. But u are right hitting your head on the bar will fuc$ you or head up. But i think so very good padding not the cheap kind should help.

 

here is a 4 point cusco cage in my friend's mr-s. hope you're short cause i'm 6'0 and my head sits in direct contact of the cage. great bolt-in fitment but i believe most US racing sanctions will not approve of the cusco cage, too many technicalities i guess, even though it is FIA approved. more of a show type cage. just a thought. cusco blue is nice though.

 

back in the day there was a company called monkey bars here in so cali...they made show cages..hahaha

 

I tested this in my race car. I wanted to see just how much it would hurt. And even with the roll bar padding, I could easily hurt my head just sitting in the seat and bouncing my head off the bar.

[/quote]If a cage is FIA approved than it will be approved by the major sanctioning bodies in the US & Canada, as they are a subset of the FIA.
