Hey JR,

Pretty much everything....These are built to PCA stock rules...2.7L and 3.2L LSD's really good shocks, bigger wheels tires, much more freedom in suspension components.

The cage is a good design, on my boxster the roll cage bar is directly behind my seat takes about 1-2+ inches of leg room away from me - im a petit 6ft 4. The also used a X pattern on the door like the cup cars

Mine - you can see the bar going across in the back.

Rick can you snap a pick of the drivers foot well. Just wanted to see where the cage went by the fuse panel.

Update: All the interior is out. Top will come off before Thurs when it goes to Todd Opperman for a cage. Should have the car back in a week or so to finish up all the other bits. Had fun this weekend out at MSR during a DE. Between my father, me and my brother we put 500 track miles on the car bone stock and it never missed a beat. We ran thru the stock pads in the front and the front tires are trash now but it was a blast driving the car around this weekend.

Will post some pics tomorrow to tired tonight.

Thumbs up Today was like Christmas

Today parts started arriving. Got Shocks, springs, rear bar, underdrive pulley, fiberglass top. Got the seat installed and loaded on the trailer to go to TOPP Racing for the cage to be built. Hopefully it will be done in the next week or two and I can get started putting on all the parts. Here are some pictures going to rain and hail tonight so had to put everything into the garage.

It's looking good.
I just purchased my car yesterday. I'm hoping to be ready by the end of the summer.
Please post pics of your cage.
Take care,
Chad

I am Rob's buddy but please don't let that get out.
Thanks Jay. This looks like a fun bunch.
I am hoping to have the car built by the PCA Race at No Problem.
