Roll Cage in a 5 door - Eeyore - 10-03-2014
Hello Everyone,
I have the possibility of getting a roll cage fairly cheap. Obviously its for a 3 door and I have a 5 door :/ I wondered what peoples thoughts were?
Im single now with no friends so the rear seats will never need to go back in. The main hoop will be in the middle of the rear doors so I think it will look a bit odd!

Or is a better option buying it, storing it, and then buying a 3 door 1.8 in astor and then dropping the engine, all the mods and cage into that? Thoughts!
This is near me and looks mint!

Reshell the engine IMO.
A 5 door modified looks 'desperate' at best - whilst some will look good, the same work / mods on a 3 door looks better - so do it while it's cheap.

3dr would look awesome, but I also love the look of your 5dr.

Don't get me wrong mate, your 5 door looks good. But everything you are doing to it (stripping and racecar'ing it) just seems a bit ironic in a 5 door...
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - puglove - 10-03-2014
as smart as your car is BECAUSEracecar 5 doors do look a little gay, & putting a cage in would tip it over the edge .... so yeah 3 door

3door has been done.
5door caged looks ace and makes working on the cage and rear end so much easier
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - Slam Wagon - 10-03-2014
Figure out the cage in your 5 door and then sell it to me for the estate and then reshell and buy yourself a standard cage.

How often do you need to get in the rear? Tailgate?
How often do you need to work on the cage? Fit it? It doesn't need an oil change or re-greasing! It's a cage!
C'mon dude, 3 doors makes sense. I'm a family man and can still justify a sporty looking 3-door

This ^^^ now go sit in the corner and shut up James
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - 7057sam - 11-03-2014
Reshell it,or just buy a 6
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - Piggy - 11-03-2014
Tell me CAR and Jamie....how many full cages have you welded into cars??
Doing one on a 5dr evo was a doddle compared to 3dr escort and puma...ignore the puma...that was just silly tight
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - Rippthrough - 12-03-2014
It should fit, but buy a 3 door anyway.

Pretty sure they don't do a 5 Door Evo which officially got exported from Japan, so that's rare. Do you have any photographs?
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - HDIkyle - 12-03-2014
3 doors with cage is just boring. Do 5 door much better

Show me a 3 door evo...!
Think you will find only the Norris 3dr Evo, as there isnt a 3dr evo from factory.
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - C.A.R. - 12-03-2014
I was being facetious. You can get a 'Wagon' Evo IX but import-only. All others are 4-door.
Norris Designs Evo was not a 3dr either.
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - lolsteve - 12-03-2014
buy a 3dr you wouldn't want people thinking your 5dr is a 1.4
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - Rippthrough - 12-03-2014
My 1.4 was a 3dr...
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - welshpug - 12-03-2014
main hoop will be in the wrong place, shorter doors on a 5 door.
RE: Roll Cage in a 5 door - Eeyore - 12-03-2014
Yep okay. I need a 3 door. Not going to be a 6 as ive got all of the bits for the 1.8. If the 1.8 doesnt live up to expectations then i can always buy a 6.
I think Ill buy the cage and store it for a while!
