anyone ever dealt with these people before

what where your opinions on the products

im now on my 2nd cage and its still a bag of shi7

before i sent it back the 1st time i uv penned it....when it came back it was different only a few parts remained from the 1st cage

there even had the nerve to charge me for a a pillar that id cut down as it didnt fit.....even though at had been overbent

MAD EVO 4

woulodnt bother bro, do the decent thing and let Danny B do your cage, you will deffo have no problems with him and rich

Rene

i am sure Mike @ randbmotorsport can do u a cracking deal with the best quality! highly recommended

simhopper

the 2nd cage that came has been fitted it looks a strong cage but theres still a few bits thats wrong that need rebending or reprofiling

only reason i bought from custom cages is you have the option of getting it all profilled so its a perfect fit and being a pipewelder by trade labour would be free

how wrong could i have been

will be speaking to there md again tommorow

pee vee

Go to 'caged' in westbury, wiltshire.

simhopper

the cage is in the car now apart from a few parts that need to be sent back and redone otherwise i would be going elsewhere

Is this the same R&D motorsport that does gearboxes and diff's??

Custom cages always need a little work... well some need a lot actually, but the basic product is good.

simhopper

i expected a little cutting but not rebending off tube

and theres little you can do when the pipe is bent incorrectly or cut too short

apart from that its brilliant

simhopper

still waiting for roger from custom cages to get back to me

i sent him pictures of what i had

this is what i have





this is how it should be





is it just me or is the difference not noticable lol

sent custom cages all of the above and there say it fits and my rollcage fitting is perfect.......only problem is there aint seen my shell or cage there where looking at the pics there sent me

simhopper

and for those that are as blind as roger.....take a look at the profiles

it has now got to the point where when i ring them hes unavaliable and i have to deal with the very abrupt secratary who just hangs up on you

poor product and poor service

Fiecos Dan

That sounds like R&D motorsport.

RTD "Roger The Doger"

Worst company i've ever dealt with

For a Fiesta cage thats closer than normal simhopper ...

The Ł150 or so extra for profiled 'ends' is sometimes worth saving if you can do it yourself.

simhopper

what happended pm me if needed

the c**nts even charged me for another a pillar even thou it was there mistake

i uv penned it all and it came back a different cage

simhopper

i would have done it myself but want to get this car finished sometime this year...thought i was saving myself a few days work

i am a pipefitter by trade and profiling tube is 2nd nature

wes

Not dealt with them regarding a cage due to the nightmares regarding my old gearbox, never worked properly from day one

I noticed the unit next door to them did roll cages, didn't realise it was part of the same company until i heard of someone elses cage being bought from there and not fitting properly.

If you look at the company logo it looks like RTD, which stands for "Roger The Doger", as you can never get hold of the guy, was told my gearkit was on the shelf, gearbox would take 2 weeks to get built, 3 months later i get the gearbox, and after a couple of weekes the car lunges forward when i start it, even though it wasn't in gear Told it's my clutch / engine WTF! anyway take it back, they have it for another month, get a phone call to say it's ready, book a day off work and travel 100 miles to get it, then i arrive and he said it wasn't ready at all Blames secretary for not telling me, even though he was the one who called me to say it was ready, she had left a voicemail on my work phone the morning that i wastravelling to them Complete fuck up on their part, they ship the box to me at their cost, but again lasts about a month before goes wrong again (my engine / clutch must be really fooked LOL).

In the end gave up on it as lifes too short to deal with muppets

simhopper

has anyone ever took these c**ts to trading standards

when i threatened it rodge the dodge said go for it

if i realised id be having these problems id have waited the 6 week waiting time and got a proper cage from the roll centre

wes

After 2 months i said to him "i'm coming to get my gearbox" he said "come and get it, but it's in a million pieces", then he said it would be done in a week, waiting for a part, took a month, was just glad to get it back, but as it turned out that was just the start of the problems with them, oh well lesson learned i guess

simhopper

so the moral of the story is

dont go to r+d motorsport or dodgy cages r`us

if i didnt live so far away id go round and rebend the pipe

wes

I'd never use them or recommend them for anything, i'm sure they do have some happy customers, i've just never heard of any, perhaps he does better work with proper "motorsport" customers rather than joe bloggs building a car to compete in some form of motorsport

simhopper

you hit the nail on the head there

i thinks its a case of what there can get away with

rodge the dodge was telling me his cages win rallys...its not the car or the driver

i will be contacting trading standards tommorow anyway ad filing a claim online thro moneyclaim

people like this pi55 me off you pay them good money for nothing but shi7e and exuses
