Took me 2 days to fit my last one .... get the center section in 1st then build up the rest around it , take your seatbelt's out 1st of all and get ready to lose LOTS of skin and get very pissed off !!

The last couple of bits wil lseem like they will never go in but with plenty persuasion and a bit of aggresion you will get there !

ANY HELP GUYS IM STRESSING NOW ARRGGGHHHHHHHH

Think you need to take the front doors off and seats out, even then its a tight squeeze

Hi is it the dash saver type?
if so it should all unbolt, like has been said get the main hoop in first
it may take two people to juggle it in ( its a right bas***d) then the front legs & roof bars then rear bars
hope this helps chris

I have got one of these although i have yet to get round to fitting it. i know what you mean about the lack of instructions - there arn't any! i have heard they are a tight squeeze. careful not to dent the roof outwards whilst trying to fit it. good luck.

Cheers guys for help its pain in *** it is, my full interior is out not that bad getting cage in its just 1 of the back doors totally off then its in the point is is how it bolts in ya get brackets with welded nuts on em but it don't tally up to how it goes.
don't know wot type it is all i know is its bolt in cage from omp via demon tweeks,
there is same on ebay if you type in subaru impreza roll cage it brings the 1 up i have bought.

chris666

The brackets that are supplied have to be welded to the inner sills/ floor pan of the car then the cage sits on top & is bolted down
also the one on ebay has to go through & under the dash which requires removal & cutting the dash
is the cage for looks or racing? if for looks go for the dash dodger one
& dont forget to tell your insurance

SORRY BAR DON'T GO THROUGH DASH M8 IF YA BOLT PLATES TO FLOOR AND CILL THE THICK ****S AT OMP HAVE WELDED NUTS ON THE BRACKETS WRONG ARGHHHH ..... WORST THING IS YA GET NO INSTRUCTIONS AT ALL 4 NUTS N BOLTS WHEN YA NEED 26 BOLTS IN TOTAL CAN'T EVEN FIND PIC OR INSTRUCTIONS ON TINTERNET.

chris666

is this the one?
if so its a dash out job
if the floor brackets are right angled they are to weld in
if they are flat they fit under the car & bolt through the floor
also the brackets for the door bars have to be welded on & the door bars
cut to fit
on the omp website it states that no bolts are supplied
good luck

has above if its the cage above its a dash out job, mine was supplied with 90 degree brackets and flat for the rear has it will sit low otherwise

dash has to come out, doors off, fuel lines out (welding) and it goes in at the most weigest angle shame your not closer to me couldve recommended a couple off companies to try

That cage dosent meet the dash, the dash needs to come out and you need to cut bits out off the back off the dash in the corners, then fit the cage and get all the floor plates welded in and get it in to final position and fix it permantly then put all the other bits back in round about the cage. Its not a job that will be done in a day or two, unless you have metal and a welder and a bit of knowledge of fitting cages. You should have bought a dash dodger, alot easier to fit.

Cheers m8 apparently according to demon tweeks this omp cage is straight bolt in only thing that needs welding is door bar brackets i recieved it n thought ye right.
I cant moan demon tweeks have just knocked 200 bar off my seats and mounts for the hassel.
so dash definatly needs to be taken out argghhhhhhh how hard is it to take dash out guy's im good with big hammers when stressed lol

If it isnt obvious to you how to fit it, you should not be fitting it yourself!

Depending where in leeds you are, i could call in and tell you what you need to do.
