Re: roll cage for 95 tsi?

u probally want to build it yourself to fit together with the targa top, and if you are hitting 12's its a good idea to get a roll cage anyways...

Re: roll cage for 95 tsi?

There are chassis shops that were put on this earth for the sole purpose of building cages, and tube chassis cars. There are several around me. You'll have to figure that out on your own, I have no idea where you live, let alone what chassis shops are in the area I would not recomend building your own cage unless you are a very good welder and have a copy of the NHRA/IHRA rules on hand. IF you want the cage to be functional anyway.

Re: roll cage for 95 tsi?

doesnt your car have a sunroof? if so you have to find another eclipse/talon without one so you can cut the top off that to use. cant targa top a roof with a sunroof. the sliders are too long.
