Dwnshift · 04-23-2012, 10:34 AM

Yes copy on the not eligible...
But for the money...it was a proven and reliable car.
Finished 2nd in the manfc championship and 3rd in drivers champ.

Negative...this was one of the first Zs built in North america ..run by Wright tunning ..Schuitemaker motorsports 350EVO. We raced it in Grand am cup ( which is now Conti challenge) in 2003-2005.
This car was the 2nd car we built and was raced primarily in 2004 mid season on..and 3 races in 2005.

pictures...availabilty....info to be posted soon.

I know this is a necro post, but I really need GOOD photos of the RC's cage configuration.

Particularly the door bars, forward loop/A Pillar treatment.

Anyone got any?

I know you want pics of the RC but I still think Fixxercask has the nicest looking cage I've ever seen in a Z. It feels nice and open in the cabin still too. I'm aiming for something very similar in my 350Z.

Would love to see some shots, Fishey!

Thanks man!

Looks good, but those door bars are a little more than I really want.

I'm not cutting my doors, so a simple X style door bar is going to have to suffice.

I am not at liberty to show any pictures of the 370Z but seeing as similar photos to this one of the BMW 128I ran in 2011 have been posted on multiple sites before it gives you an idea on how the 370Z is built. That being said the 370Z cage is actually a bit better then the 128I cages but the door bar design is very similar as is the window bars.

Triangulated Door bars will not fail nearly as easy as flat bars. The whole cage would have to move and I would imagine G force would kill the driver before the door bars failed.
