yeah bitch all this................. the man wants to know if its a fucking rolling shell , answer him asshole

 

ok so it has suspension but will need shock/springs. cool.

 

The top bars are not welded all the way around, don't bullshit people about it. Glws definitely a prime canidate for a drift slut.

 

b18- you sir are either blind, dumb, ignorant, or a combination. the cage is a NHRA aproved design. if you'd like i can pull up some specs off the NHRA website. i dont know what you build cages for but the only thing lacking in this cage is the placement of door bars. the door bars are mounted high becuase it needed to be to clear the seat that was intended to go into the car. and the car was originally suposed to be run in tur tech and i told him the NHRA cage would not suffice. most all forms of road course require a diagonal brace from the driver top to the passenger floor board.

the cage is welded in in ALL locations to 1/8 plate, some small but as tertech rules state that the floor plates must be 1/8 thick and no less than 2" on any side. the turtec rules do not stipulate a total area or anything else on length beside that.

both governinig bodies allow for cage bars to meet at floor plates as long as they conect to one another or are nore more than 1/4 inch apart from one another.

the cage was going to have to be modified (diagonal brace addition) to be run in tur tech and rob was happy with just having a stiffened chassis for the time being.

and as far as welding to bends, not one of them is... perhaps its just your vision but every one of the bars is welded undernith the bends...

i dont know why you'r in here bashing on robs car. what your problem is but perhaps your lack of professionalism (and willingness to make sure you know what your talking about before you run your mouth) has hurt your buisness enough that your forced to try and degrade other people's work to try to stimulate your own buisness.

nice try but i've got half a dozen cages i've built and sent to the trackand i've never once had one not pass tech inspection at gainesville.

 

I think...

We has a winner.

 

 

Yeah, NHRA approves anything, and their guidelines are pretty fucking light. I'm sure you can agree. The door bars are just stupid plain and simple, I don't see how that would clear the door panels let alone the seat. The convenience factor is out the window, getting in those things is a pain in the fucking ass, I know cause a S14 I worked on awhile ago had the same S&W cage with the same door bars, they hit the door panels and stock S14 seats. As far as the top's being welded refer to 3rd post on 3rd page. And I don't even know this guy. That harness bar looks welded to the bend maby 1'' under, so I don't know how you can say it's not.

I'm sure you're an awesome fabricator, that's cool and all, but if you can honestly tell me those door bars are made to the best of you're ability, then something is wrong. I'm done killing this guys thread, if you want to, you can PM me.

 

completely welded pics or this thread fails

 

the NHRA regs are light but thats what was brought to me, its stilll a hell of a lot better than no cage, and by no means unsafe.

you said yourself the harness bar is 1" under the bend then you tell me its on the bend... regulations require that bar to be no more than 4" under the driver's sholder... so you tell me where it goes then?

the door bar's arent ideal but its a half cage... nhra does not allow for bends in the door bar's. and without the front uprights a full cage offeres theres no way to do an x brace so your left with a steep angle on the door bar. thats just all there is to it and theres no way around it.

so after 3 pages of you talking shit about NOTHING... everything just boils down to your not happy with the door bars, which are a industry standard for drag cars.... lol....

alright kids, learn your lesson. its not always the guy with the most to say that needs listened to the most.

this was also not a 2000 dollar cage... if rob wanted to spend the money on a D1 cage he could have got it.

as far as the top of the cage not being welded.. its a 3/4 inch stretch that needs run and i need to take the 1/4 glass out to get there. whover buys this car (if i dont) can bring it by the shop on the way out of ocala and have it done.



oh and i didnt realize to many of us were looking for convenience when building a caged drift car lol...

 

btw 040 is called superwhite
