Hey Guys What Roll Cage Do U Need For Drifting

[r33.93]

hey guys i have found a 4 point roll cage so i can still drive on street with no problems from the cops but is it enough for the drift requirments

I would take a stab that it's a Jap cage - if so, almost 99% of the time the answer is a NO.

Cages for registered/road going vehicles need to be built within the specs of your states laws & ADR's, and signed off etc etc.

So basically no Jap cage will ever pass as they have too many bends, come to close to your 'head space' and similar other issues.

Given a half cage, legal, is only around $1000 installed... Bemuses me why people pay $600 for a jap cage that isn't legal or as safe

hey yeh its not a jap one its from a mob in Brown Davis Automotive Pty Ltd. 47 Holloway Drive, Bayswater, Vic 3153,

Australia but i was wondering is a 4 point cams approved roll bar able to enter into drifting dayz coz my understanding was that u needed a full cage??

((((((Jake hi,

Thank you for your enquire.

Our kit 4 point CAMS approved roll bar for the 33 is roadworthy in WA. It fits

completely behind the front 2 seats. All rear trim can be retained but it makes

the rear seats unable to be used. The roll bar include a harness mounting bar

for the shoulder straps of racing type harnesses. They come complete with CAMS

paperwork if requested and are finished in a satin black powder coated surface

to match the trim.)))))

Ye i know Brown Davis well, cheap and excellent quality on all the cages I've seen them put together.

You'd need to check the reg's of the drift days in your state.

If it is fully blown competition, you'd probably need a full cage.

However if its club/non comp level type drift day stuff you can get away without a cage here in Vic, let alone a half cage.

For drift in Vic you only need a half cage to take passengers.

I have a brown davis half cage and it's registered as a 2 seater so is legal in Vic.

since most drift events are run under cams and most are considered a 'non speed' even and can be entered on a L2NS licence you usually don't need any cage. I'm not sure if the rules have been changed now (there has been talk for a long time) but last I checked even in national level drift comps you were NOT required to have any cage so even a jap cage was ok as long as the scrutineer was happy with it and most were on the logic of some cage being better than none.

but certainly a brown davis 4 point will almost certainly be cams compliant and then it's just a matter of the regs for the event you are entering in. but as above 90% of drift events don't actually require any cage at all.
