I think that I look fat in your picture

have you deliberately left the side intrusion bar of the o/s.

looks a bit strange only on the passenger side..

Maybe he wants to get in and out elegantly and wants to laugh at his passengers


Dangle_kt - 23/6/10 at 08:04 PM

if you get one, think about climbing in and out, I had one that I might have kept if it hadn't been made for a 4ft midget!

But getting in and out involed dropping from above - defo want the "two semi circles meeting in the middle overhead" type if you know what I mean

think weight!

fugly !

The one on my Aries chassis looks good and is very easy to get in and out of:



The rear hoop is quite tall but the front slopes forwards infront of the scuttle which makes it look a bit more sleek

It only has a side intrusion bar on the drivers side, passengers should keep their arms inside the car!

Hope this helped.

Seen a few of the "Tiger Caged" cages and they look good. Want to track day it at some point so want to be safe. Here's one from a tiger last Sunday at Newark.

Me wants one too


blakep82 - 23/6/10 at 10:40 PM

erm, for an idea of what it would look like, see the dark blue car in the back ground


andy350z - 24/6/10 at 06:49 AM

That is me and my caged Avon in the background. It's the cage from Tiger made by Caged. Makes me feel much safer when driving, especially as my head poked out the top of the standard rollbar. No problems getting in or out.

Was fairly easy to fit apart from making extra bracket to fit the chassis rails at the front as in typical Tiger style the brackets on the cage don't line ip with the rails

Maybe you should have 'done a quick photoshop' on the porky one behind, too?


Danozeman - 24/6/10 at 08:12 AM

the yella obne above looks good. And it bolts on too.


tul214 - 24/6/10 at 08:20 AM

The yellow one belongs to John...jdominicd on here and is on a S6.
It is a Tiger rollbar and cage that bolts on with a bit of pulling and pushing.

In my defence...Stoneleigh was freezing and I had a few layers on under my jacket!

Im looking for a cage to fit over the winter/SORN'd period.

Caged is a lot of money plus, i need to trailer the car there and back.

I like the look of the cage on the Yellow Tiger but not the vertical bars at the front.


Major Stare - 12/7/10 at 08:34 PM

Are those Tiger cages, made by Tiger?


andy350z - 12/7/10 at 09:39 PM

They are cages from Tiger, but they have them made by caged. Mine was around £600

Yes made by Caged to MSA Blue Book specs, all the Tiger race cars have them fitted.

It does help stiffen the car up, but it makes it trickier getting in and out, and is quite heavy. You could go halfway and fit just the rear section which is a huge upgrade over the Tiger standard bar, and always fit the full cage at a later date.
