All I have is iPhone vid. Sorry the first one is very blurry. Not sure why. Everything worked out perfect. No leaks or CEL

Congrats! Worth the wait

Rest of cage going in.

And finally getting rid of the bulky harness. Will look a lot better and uniformed.

New Steering wheel

NASCAR style door bars going in.

Really didn't like when you used the rubberized stuff...

DELETING THIS BS. BULKY OVER WEIGHT DANGEROUS FOR YOUR KNEES.

SPOHN · 12-28-2013, 03:48 PM

Have lost another 28 lbs off the car up front. Main wire harness was removed of all pointless wiring that a racecar doesn't need. Started car back up today. Still running great. Next weekend my buddy will be finishing up full cage but adding more reinforcement. Custom steering column made. Deleting main bulky gauge pod and will be running Tach only. Seat will be mounted to floor as low as possible. Mine was to high. Never liked it. Also he will be performing corner balance and track alignment.

looks good.

did you use lizard skin (rubber stuff)? still haven't done that to mine. i like that it helps cut noise and heat, but not sure about adding the weight in a semi-permanent way.

still owe you pics of the brackets, will try to do that tomorrow sorry

SPOHN · 12-28-2013, 04:35 PM

I used something different. But striping some of it this week.

Travis I think your going to like the steering column I'm having made.

Super Werty · 12-28-2013, 07:25 PM

At what point is it not street legal or street safe or did you already cross that point?

Looks awesome so far!

cool. look forward to seeing that... did the same on mine for the reasons you said, simplify and get rid of the b-s / weight. just a simple steel rod with splines... rolls through a custom bracket that allows up/down ratcheting

That's how this is going to be.

SPOHN · 12-28-2013, 07:31 PM

Already crossed that point. It's all in how much your willing to risk. I've seen plenty if guys drive there racecars to shows. All it would of take is someone lightly bumping you and slamming your head into the side if the roll cage.
