By the way, I never got a complete photo of my Cusco 8 point rollcage. I haven't got the time to assemble it but here's a photo from Cusco's website on how it looks. Price of the Cusco/Safety 21 (Cusco sister company) rollcage is prohibitive, If you guys are in a budget another option is Autopower Industries, they make a rollcages for Starlets from 4 points to full rollcage probably 3-4x cheaper than Cusco, quality wise the Autopower rollcage is good.

CUSCO ROLLBAR AND ROLLCAGE

*40mm chrome molybdenum pipes used 33% percent lighter that a similar steel roll bar.
*Lightweight joints used Increased safety with competition roll bar layout.
*Mounted such to increase body rigidity.
Our bar layout is designed from extensive experience. Bar structures based on feedback from the track that looks good as it's effective. Designed from our extensive experience, the rigidity seen in the interior extensive piping is a feedback from our racing experience.

July 2, 2006 WHAT I GOT AT EBAY

I recently won a hard to find FOHA front spoiler for a 1980-1982 Tercel/Starlet. Foha is an Austrian company that made airdams and spoilers made of rubber at those time. I did check out their website to learn more about this company. They now do composites for race and prototype cars and airplanes. Check it out.
