Robert:
Is it possible to post some detailed photos of the aluminum cage? This is exactly what I have been looking for.
I'm in the process of building up my RSA as a performance street car / DE / track car. I'm working with my fabricator now and we have been kicking around the IRC cage design as well. I would like to see all of the mounting points and cage layout. I have heavily modified my suspension and now I'm finishing out the interior and braking system. Any insight on this project would be greatly appreciated. I loved the article in 911&Porsche World

If you are tracking the car, go w/a steel cage most places won't let you run w/aluminum...so check your local rules if you are set on aluminum. I don't track my car and the cage is simply to stiffen the platform which was never meant for that much HP or TQ.....My cage was made by Hielgo which is sold through FVD....go to their web site and look it up. I've got the 8-point cage and it fit very nicely. Craftsmanship was very good. If you run the RS style door panels you can get a cage that moves the cross bar out closer to the door.
Thank you for the information. The site referenced was very helpful in numerous ways. You mentioned a possible preference in the future with the IRC unit. Any key points to consider? I'm at this cross road and could use the insight from someone who has seen both.

If I do another car, I'd do an IRC so that I can hide it all. Plus w/kids you want to have it covered and padded.....Also w/IRC you can decide if you want to run it back to rear shock towers, etc. The cage I have in the car adds tremendous rigidity...so no worries there. I also run a Ruf front shock tower brace. IRC is just another way to go...if it were a track car I'd just do a welded in cage or maybe another bolt in piece....but I was very happy w/the Heilgo piece. There are more pics of the cage I think in the Excellence article which was Nov '08....
