'show only' cages can be quite dangerous in an accident.

Custom Cages make some beautiful cages (fully FIA approved too), but be prepared to get your wallet out...

They're Sparco 4-point harnesses (4 inch webbing). Very comfy and easy to adjust. Sabelt are supposed to be the b0llocks too though

Quality!

Seats are Sparco Pro 2000. I spent most of last year's visit to Autosport sitting in as many seats as poss! Soon discovered that seat comfort is a very personal thing. To me the Pro 2000s feel very snug and supportive without being restrictive. What are your seats? Must get to Aberdeen sometime soon to see the rebuil;t bucket

I had it in T45 lightweight steel - £700

But they do a less expensive CDS version, which is about £450 I believe. They are good cages though - fitted to most of the competition rally Corsas
