That FIA spec cage is probably overbuilt for the events. Are you able to mod it to make it lighter?

In a previous post, When the Tein Yaris was in Siphon, they took out the SC to make it a more even comparison to the old Spoon Fit. For most of the Time attacks that it was in, it was Supercharged. The cage is a heavy component of the car and some of those cars like th AJ racing Fit had the 1.5 but with turbo but no cage.
Another Fit had the K20 but the suspension setup was sloppy.
I heard that the Tein Yaris handled very well, but sadly didn't have the grunt that the other micro's had.

Love hearing about this car and glad it's going to good usage.

This is not an FIA spec cage, it is missing a number of mandated bars.

On one hand it is overbuilt per SCCA specs, with three extra bars that are not required. However, it was made with the minimum size tubing 1.5". Considering the small size of the tubes, I will happily keep the extra bars.

Just last week I installed the optional dash bar in our SSC class Nissan , 1.75" tube, it only weighed 7lbs. So even if I cut away all the extras in the Yaris, I might only save 30lbs, not worth it.
