        I have one or two stashed away. I'll try to grab them later today. I went ahead and bought a pre-bent kit from Evil Genius Racing in CA, but I'm with the guys on the Spec E30 board, it's taking forever to show up.

            Kirk Racing can supply a cage (bolt or weld in). To race you want a weld in cage. Mark supplies the cage pre-bent and tubes slightly long allowing them to be pushed out as far as possible.
            The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

              There are some in the Se30 photo galleries. I think Scott MC posted them.

                  Do you have a model of this cage that you can send to me. I am building a 4 point for my track day car and would like to compare if you wouldn't mind. step or parasolid would be great.

                    I do not, just this picture. It was a more of a guide for our cage builder than a dimensionally correct model.

                      Nice 3-D work.

                      Good job Simon.

                        This is the best place I could think of posting this. I need to get a hold of Evil Genius Racing. Can anyone in the area check them out? I ordered and paid for 2 full cage kits, the check was cashed on 9/15/09. It's been just over 7 weeks, and I can't get my phone calls or e-mails returned. My shit needs to get welded and back on track, already. :(

                          I started an "*Official* E30 Roll Cage Photo Thread" on bimmerforums nearly 2 years ago. You can check it out for a few ideas: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...php?p=11806394

                          Shhh...just don't tell anyone I linked another forum -,-

                            Can't say that thread on Bimmerforums is all that helpful.

                            There is a cool thread on s14.net about the e30 roll cages. Rather informative, for the life of me I can't remember it's name. Sorry

                              There's a lot of R&D that goes into a properly designed roll cage. I doubt anyone in the industry is going to just give away their specs for free.
