I've been busy over the fall/winter. Just thought I'd share some of the nice pics a buddy of mine took for me yesterday. Wheels, cage, seats, splitter, tires, steering wheel, and mirrors are the latest mods

hope you enjoy. Links to hi-res versions below pics

What kind of cage is that? I like the door bars.

Great looking car....

I'm sure that will be one whale of a track car.....

Mike Buck

Thanks for the compliments. I've done almost 30 track days in the car over the last year and a half. Suspension, motor, safety stuff basically done now. Got my license sign-off in Sept. '03 and i'm looking to make my Club Racing debut at Summit Point(home track) in Aug '04. There are at least 4-5 other local guys on this board looking to do the same thing. . . most in "E" as well

Cage was done by Piper Motorsport here in No. Virginia. Mitch Piper and his guys are pretty much the best in the area.

Is that an "S"? If not what pushed you into E?

What is this the purpose of this bar on each side?



sumbich, what's up with the picture?!?

Sam Lin

Mike, mind me asking how much the cage cost?

Thanks
Sam

Mike Buck

it is not a factory S, but it's been updated to run as one. K26/8, chips, bigger front calipers/rotors

still looking for a tranny



Sam,
cage ran ~ $1750 installed. mild steel, not chromoly

keith

ok, 3rd pic, bar going from middle of rear diagonal forward to main hoop - what's its function?

Mike Buck

There is one on each side. In a rear impact, it should serve to help keep the rear diagonal's from pinching down or pushing forward too much. Hope I never have to find out if it works

Love the cage. I hate cages that drop down by the dashboard and make it hard to get in and out. Besides cutting out the top of the dash to fit the bars though, did you have to loose anything else? Does the front part of the hoop go the the floor only, or is they tied into the sides of the car a bit?

Also, does the splitter replace what's known as the lower bumper cover? Whose splitter is it??

Again, great looking car!
