|
|
As the header says I have contacted Takakaira but they have sold out and say Cusco have so also, wether that means theres just not a great demand for them for the Starlet EP82 or there discountiued I dont know.
Here's link as to what they are:
Takakaira
Ive found one other company which supposedly has them but there not replying to e-mails so I tried to phone them direct ion Japan but no luck with any answers.
Anyone know other Jap or UK sites which has these? |

Alright
I own and run www.JI-Performance.com and one of our suppliers is Cusco. I've had a look in the book and it lists a 4 point/2 passenger roll cage for the Starlet EP91.
Supplier will be closed now but IO can give them a call for you in the moring _________________

Right Ive replied to all u2u's inc yours Eddie. Seems as if there isn't a great demand for these hence why Cusco aint making them.
I guess If I were to strip the car and make it into a rally slag I would purchase a full roll cage but I have kid and use the car daily and also the funds cant be streched hence why I will make do with these. Also no other Starlet in the UK has them ..... LOL.. |

But surely just the door bars alone would make it a shitload less practical (especialy with a kid) than a Cusco cage, which doesn't have the door bars? I don't really get the point of these, bit of Cusco bling maybe but they're not really going to do anything except make getting in and out the car harder... |

Its ok..
Sambo - Your right it "BLING" more than anything else. Id love a full roll cage but funds don't stretch. Ive seen few pics from guy in S. Ireland who has them and they don't quite stick out as much on the Starlet. |

JDM bling m8 wouldnt bother to befair wouldnt even bother with the cusco full cages always look hoplessly unpractical and seem to intrude in to the foot well to much apart from the few that go through the dash.
You will get bored battering your knees and shins off those door bars with in a week or two  _________________ Ti Gray RX8 230 |
