Prodrift Ireland- 2012 Rules & Regulations

[sideways boy]

Would a cusco thru dash cage do the job so? They are built with the proper cold drawn steel and have fia spec joints so I cant see any reason why one would not pass regulations apart from the dash dodgers of course which are definetely banned.

its not fair for them to decide dash dodgers arent allowed at this stage....i havent the money to replace that at this pont and if i had been notified sooner then i could have saved for a through the dash cage.....its a fucking joke rules should have been out at least a month ago to give people a chance

tbf now in ur case all that needs to be done is make 2 new front legs and weld them to ur hoop, not that expensive it would be madness to change ur whole cage

Is this allowed? The impression I get is that the only bolt in cages allowed are fully fia approved non dash dodgers? Does this not mean that if you have a dash dodger and cut the two front legs and replace them it is no longer fia approved?? Confusion :-(

very good point but i can see alot off lads trying it any way as the rules took to long to come out and there is people not ready what else can they do ????

I dont understand why they are banning cutting the bulkhead, the have made cars with modified bulkheads almost invalueable overnight and why give the drivers of these cars such an advantage.

Who said anything about cutting.? What people are saying is to get two new front bars made up that go through the dash and that bolts on or is welded on properly to the rest of your existing cage. I cannot see how they could have a problem with this provided it is done properly with the right steel and joints.
I have looked hard everywhere and there is not actually anyone who makes a bolt in thru dash fia approved roll cage off the shelf for an s13 unless you get one custom made and bol@x to that if they think I am forking out for that. I am going getting two new front bars made up and if they dont like it they can shove their prodrift up their behind coz we all have driftfest now and we dont depend on them anymore.Thats my opnion on the matter anyway. Peace
