    They flex with the car too, therefore reducing cracking of the cage. Also keeps the car together. Go over too bumpy of a road with too stiff of a car and you run the risk of ripping the car apart at the cage mounting points.

            I'm sorry, but you guys who say you fit your friends in the back of an e30, they must be midgets!!! My friends aren't fat by any means nor are they that tall. But having to sit at an angle in the back seat and head almost in the roof plus with my knees in the dash, It's not that comfortable of a car to pile your friends in and go places. I've seen more room in Ford Festivas...!

              Others have disagreed with neon this on the past, but o stand by using only black PVC for roll cages. A 53% increase on strength is worth the 18% increase on weight.

                damn.. I had no idea pvc was actually used.. and as far as fitting people in the backk.. not possible, im 6'2, and the seat is pretty much touching the rear seat. and just for the simple fact of not wanting to give kids rides ha.. this is more of a project car then my daily driver.

                  make sure you get the right glue, the purple stuff melts the cage together and is pretty nice.

                        I sit all the way up, it creates a decent amount of room in the back.

                          I'm actually just about to finish up my cage;





                          I was initially planning on using the std PVC glue, but apparently PlastiWeld -http://www.plastiweld.com/- is a much better option.
                          After all, strong joints = safer roll cage, and safety is the aim of the game.
