Wow that is some ultimate cage fabrication.

Will you make a custom strut brace to fit that mount on the shock tower?

The cage is made by ARC Racing and yes the strut brace are a custom made one by them too! They has reinforced Tig welding the seams at the whole chassis.
ARC has been making cages for top rally/raid teams in Spain for over than 20 years.

Seriously, would you ever consider selling 944 carbon fiber parts? You do an amazing job.

We doe's at www.rsr-racing.net

By the way I think that we have one in the world first item.......
I have purchased Armour armide (ballistic kevlar) (the same one used to make in the Apache helicopters etc bulletproof). We are gone use this one for our new roof, doors, door inner panels. It's not that we are gone make the lightest bullet proof car in the world (but it will come) it's just a bloody good safety device for side impacts.
You know we are from Sweden's (boring Volvo's) and safety is one of our tasks.

Jan, great work. really, there's no other way to say it... except, maybe, twice.. great work!

Just out of curiosity, have you heard of Ron Simons Racing? I only ask because they're typically abbreviated RSRacing, and your company's name makes me think of them...

Ron Simons owns the 75 experience at the Nurburbring RSR Nurburgring
and RSRacing which makes, among other things, the single best suspension money can buy for the Alfa Romeo GTV6 and 75 (I know how good it is because I have it on my GTV6). I've often contemplated contacting them about the possibility of 944 suspension, but alas, I'm just one poor guy, and really can't see them making it unless I could buy at least a couple dozen...

anyway, again, great work!

Yes, very VERY nice work.

But did I do the conversion correctly? 20 kg = 44 lbs. The entire 951 shell weighs 44 lbs? Is that the body minus doors, hood, hatch, glass?

Just trying to fully understand.....
