In this riveting episode on Rob Dahm's channel, the focus is on safety, a topic as crucial as a well-cooked steak. Rob dives into the installation of a top-notch roll cage kit for his RX7, meticulously crafted by his mate Cher Slayer. This kit is not your run-of-the-mill setup; it's laser-cut and designed to snugly wrap around the car's body like a tailored suit, ensuring maximum protection in case things go sideways. With rear shock towers and gusseted pieces adding a touch of robustness, this roll cage means business, folks. It's not just about safety; it's about structural enhancement and shedding some weight off the car, making it leaner and meaner on the road.

As the team tinkers away, fitting the cage like pieces of a high-stakes puzzle, Rob can't contain his enthusiasm. The close fit of the cage to his body promises a snug and secure driving experience, akin to wearing a perfectly tailored racing suit. And let's not forget about Keeps, the hair loss prevention sponsor, keeping Rob's locks intact amidst all the adrenaline-fueled action. But safety isn't the only upgrade on the menu; a steering column extension is in the works to bring the wheel closer to Rob, ensuring he's in full control of the beastly RX7.

The transformation continues as the team tackles the car doors, modifying them to accommodate the roll cage without compromising on safety or style. And then, in a bold move reminiscent of a daredevil, Rob decides to remove the windshield with a spark plug, unveiling a whole new level of automotive wizardry. The installation of lexan windows further lightens the car, while the meticulous welding process ensures the cage is as strong as a bull on steroids. With each step, Rob and his team are not just building a car; they're crafting a masterpiece of safety and performance, pushing the boundaries of automotive excellence with each weld and cut.
