Full cage

[Sexual Chocolate]

Is a full cage in a 6RS a pain the proverbial?

Nope, I didn't find it annoying in the slightest. If I remember correctly the only issue was that you couldn't get a switch to work on the dash which was a problem when you MOT'd the car!

No real problem at all.
I've read about the potential fog light switch problem (as you have to pull the switch out behind one of the bars) however I've had two cars and both were fine with the switch.

By the way, if it bothers you it takes 30 minutes to take out the front cage and store it in your loft

Some would say that you really should not be driving with a front cage and no helmet.

Good to know the front can come out. Won't look such a prat as I pull into Tesco's with a fully caged up, bewinged 911. Though I will probably crash coming into the car park as they are a dog to drive so a cage will be the least of my worries

No problems at all with the front cage. It reminds you that your in something special.

No problem with banging your head on it?

It's an oft trotted out snippet of advice, yet [i]every[i/] FIA WRC driver does just that on the road sections between stages .....

I must be an FIA WRC level driver in that case

I do tend to use the harnesses for any spirited driving which should reduce the risks in a low speed event....in a high speed event you are probably on thin ice.

Front section of cage in 6RS is absolutely no bother at all. Different matter in 997.2RS. The design is quite different between the two with 7.2RS having a triangulated reinforcement that runs from the roof bar where it transitions to the A-post bar, to 3rd of way down the A-post bar. It is much more intrusive, and obstructs vision in passenger side mirror, you can't use sun visors etc. Believe front cage in 7.1RS is very similar in design to that of 7.2RS so presumably same issues.

+1 completely

Just removed a 7.2RS front cage today. Due to the double bar front post it hinders the passenger mirror. Plus getting in and out of the car feels more like climbing into the Dukes of Hazzards' General Lee! You end up hanging onto the bars like a monkey

...a lot more metal in this one - double A pillar bars, side bars and an extra diagonal roof bar!
