anyhow always have been thinking of turning this car into a track car and possibly a race car. currently this is my daily driver and occasional track toy, and i have a spec miata for racing. the BRZ is in shop now, and figured this would be the time to give the car an overhaul, namely putting a half cage in and five point harness and racing seat. the reason i decide not to go with a full cage yet is i still wish to be able to drive the car from and to event without trailering, the extra ability to have it still street legal is a big plus and saves a lot of time/money/hassles. but i do have plan to make it into a full on race car in the future, namely when the spec 86 series is introduced  does anyone know a conversion from a custom made half cage to a full cage would be viable and easy to do? I will have a reputable cage builder near me to do it, and if anyone can shed some light how much it usually costs to build a half cage, would be great. thanks guys!
cheers!  |
If you're within driving distance of lime rock you aren't that far away. Call up Scott from Ballistic motorsports. He is a fabricator and SCCA driving instructor and will not steer you wrong, I've actually seen him turn away a customer because what they wanted to do would not be track legal AND would potentially ruin the car in the process.
