Default Teh Mancage

for those who haven't seen it in person... Teh Manwag0n finally has the cage

MASSIVE PROPS to S&R Performance and especially Mike Ranlet! They did an amazing job on the cage, and I apologize for waiting this long to post about it. Finally got my hands on a camera. Had to show you guys how it came out!



second doorbar and vertical supports going in later this year


can't even fit a finger in between the cage and the body. amazing fit!






rally shiftar finally painted. Navigation part of headunit removed to reduce weight.

yeah, great group of guys over there (Tampa as well of course ). My car has been in there 5 or 6 times already, unfortunately the problem couldn't be fixed... oh well, back to S&R for some more of Mike's magic

has been for a while. now it is legal to run in any time trials/timeattack series. To get it in any race series I just need to plumb for a fire system, but that won't happen unless it starts getting trailered.

Obviously only the upper of the door bars is in place just yet, but it's pretty easy to get in and out of.

Thanks for the words and pics, LD.

of course its my DD. You go big or you go home... My car is actually functional, so I deal with any discomforts for daily driving to pick up a tenth or two on the track. Once mike ports my TGVs next weekend, I get the overheating issue figured out, and I get my tune touched up, I'll be back to kicking porsche ass. Instructor school is Nov 14th I believe, hoping to get the car out at least once before that to make sure everything runs correctly... I need to start getting in free lol.
