you gotta re-rego as a 2 seater. did it to my FC a while ago and its just a matter of letting them know your taking the rear seats out

Not too sure about WA but in the eastern states you con only have a half cage, anything that had bars along the A-pillar can not be registered under the NCOP.

iv heard all mixed reviews....

registering your car as a 2 seater sounds logical though as i plan on removing the rear seats anyway!!

whats the vibe with building your own cage...?im a fabricator by trade so i could build one easy..

From what i know is you can register it with the rollcage as long as there is no side intrusion bars and its also a permitted 2 seater :s as an option you could always make bolt in side intrusion bars for the track.

Depending how far you go with modifications you can get some stuff passed off without having to get the car a engineering certification.
Think is one of the forms.

Here is the process http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/licensing/20500.asp

But basically yeah the mods/cage will most likely have to be checked out.

To my knowledge you need to take out the back seats and weld up the seat belt points to register it as a 2 seater

Same for half cages

Depends what you want to do with the car at the end of the day. If its going to be on the track as much of the road then yeh invest in the time but otherwise if your on track couple times a year and not competitive theres no point.
