FIA Aproved Roll Cage?
Turbo Mini Forums

hi

im just wondering how you can tell weather a roll cage is FIA aproved.
im thinking of getting one but i wouldnt be able to get a brand new one (unfortuantly SP?)
but if i get one i think its worth getting a FIA aproved one, incase i decied to do some racing of some sort (for a bit of fun).
is there a sticker or marking on it of some sort to prove its FIA aproved?

cheers

Depends on what racing you want to do. FIA is not normally necessary if you are just sprinting and hillclimbing.

Beat bet is to look at new ones and how they have been classes and then try to find a matching second hand one.

It is normally on a sticker though.

ok thanks for the replys
im not sure weather i will ever do anything apart from trackdays etc.
but i dont want to fit a roll cage, and then want to do a race or whatever to find the cage i bought to be the wrong type!

Also remember FIA regs change over time there have been a number for this year such as harnesses etc.

So what ever you buy may be out of date when you come to do any racing. All depends upon how long you leave it, if that makes any sense

It is difficult really, but any cage made by SD or other reputable companies should fit the bill.

The main thing to look out for is that it has 3 bolt fixing plates.

Also when you fit it make sure that you weld in strenghtning plates as per the Blue Book.
