As title, I need one ASAP for a track day and been told last minute it cant be less than a 6 point! I know of several companies that will make a custom one, but before I do that i want to know has there been any made previously?

Why would you track a cab :?

Does the roof have to go up? If not, any cage should fit. But since literally no one tracks a cab, I doubt you will find one that fits and allows the roof to go up.

Cabs look awesome, and its got an m30 now so weight doesnt matter. Drifting with the roof down is probably the coolest thing your missing. Roof needs to go up and down though as its my daily too

have a word with chizfab, IIRC he has an e36 cabby that he drifts & that has a cage fitted.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)
