Would a cage be retarded in a street car?
So...now my turn to be like hustler...
After I graduate in two years, I want to start doing hill climbs and track days and **** with the miata...and not use it as a DD anymore...as it is...it is my DD.
I have a M2Sport bar right now, robbins glass rear window. My friend wants my roll bar...and happens to know of a guy selling his hard dog bolt in cage for pretty cheap.
All said and done, I could have a bolt in cage for about an extra $100 bucks on my end...if it would fit my glass top. x.X
Now, it might be a PITA, but it would be neat...
Opinions? :gay:

i wouldn't... good place to brain yourself in more than just a rear-ending accident. plus you wont be able to put the top up and down easily. in fact i'd take it out if i had a cage. either no top or hardtop...

Cages are dangerous without a race bucket, harnesses, and a helmet. Padding does no good; you should have it padded even with a helmet.
I thought about the same thing, and decided against it.

A Cage on a street car with a cabin the size of a miata(which isn't THAT small) wouldn't really be a good idea.
It's ok in a bigger car because the bars are above your head and they probably won't be right by the side of your head either. But like some people already said, in a miata, you'll run the risk of smacking your head even in a non-rollover accident (which is the only time you really need a roll-bar/cage).

still a sweet setup though. Unless you are talking about a different version from the 1 you posted before.

It's a Cusco unit. I've heard it isn't concidered a proper roll cage. It might however make a very nice in-between. That way you don't have to worry about scrambling your brains on a bar, it's better than a roll bar, and at a later date you could weld Side doors, fire wall bar and the rest of the cage.
From what I know it allows full access to use of soft top and hard top.
