Wiggins3377's 40th Anniversary Z

Cool let me know.

Wiggins3377 · 05-23-2014, 08:44 AM

The owner of the shop said he would let me know about making these and shipping them out. Would anyone else be interested? If I had to guess it will cost north of $1,000 USD for a raw (unpainted/ powdercoated) cage. They cut me a sponsorship deal since I'm local I also had mine powdercoated which cost me an additional $250 and went into my total cost.

For those who don't follow me on Facebook. Here are a few more shots of the cage. These show how the amuse bar complements the purple.

Thanks Sim. I can't say enough about the quality of the cage. I've talked to the owner at Endurance Motorsports (they made the cage) about making some for members and they seem up to it. I'd have to take my car in for them to make a jig, but if a couple people are interested I have no problem doing it. I believe it's all bolt in so self installing may be possible. Hit me up if you're interested.

In other news here is another shot of my car after Endurance dropped the front end 1". I love the look and think it'll look even better with more aggressive wheels. I can also give a very short review on the Phantom Cup Kit on Stance Coils. Well... It's amazing. Now that my front end is lower I ride with air in the cups to raise the car about 1" on all four corners and it feels no different than regular coils. I was concerned it would stiffen the suspension a little but nothing. If anyone is thinking about going to air suspension seriously consider air cups over bags. I've price them both out and the cost is almost the same and you don't lose any handling performance with cups. If your desire is to get real low, use Stance coils with the system. Like I've said before I can still go another .5" lower on all four corners.

Cage looks amazing Wiggins, very nice

I had the shop lower the front of my car when they were waiting on the cage to come back from powdercoat. For $50 it saved me the headache of pulling the lower strut mounts and brackets apart again. Although I love doing my own work when I can, I didn't think I would have the time before Offset Kings in Chicago next weekend, plus this weekend will be claybaring, waxing and polishing time. I can still drop the fronts and backs an additional .5" or so, but I didn't want to do anything too crazy before my Works get here. Now I think I need to get some spacers for the front to get a little better fitment.

Damn thats low!

Meulen · 05-28-2014, 07:17 AM

Don't go too low before heading to Chicago! the roads here are awful for that!!!

Luckily I have the luxury of being able to raise my car, hopefully it won't be a problem.

duh! that's right, forgot about your bags! lol

btw....I think you mentioned the Outkast show is June 8. I have to work in the morning, but there is the Rt 66 show in Romeoville on June 8th. It would be more realistic for me to make that show. It's a lot closer to me and I'd likely be able to make it after work before it closes. It's about 5-10 minutes off of I55. So I think I'm going to go to that one. Good luck at Outkast though!

Cups are next winters project.

Wiggins3377 · 06-01-2014, 07:33 PM

Clayed and waxed her this weekend in preparation for Offset Kings Chicago. Still need to detail the engine bay, including a minor wire tuck and installing some more aggressive spacers since my Works still aren't here, going with 25mm in the back and 15mm in the front.
