looks good on that stand

 

pumped for ya man!

 

Wow that was pretty quick getting it back together. Are you going to get it back in the car for some more runs this year?

 

Yea i got it in the car friday. Been putting easy street miles on it since saturday afternoon. Its gonna have a 6 point roll before i go back.

 

Hope to see you out on a wed. night at the track soon. I want to put some runs on mine so I can get my double adjustable rear shocks figured out.

 

Thats the plan gonna run that lsx rumble class at the nmca race in october. Would like to run 10.50 index but i dont think i can shave 2 tenths gonna need a 1.3x 60' to get that dobe to be competitive. Prolly have to slow it down to 11.00
Your entry for rumble also gets you onto lsx true street on saturday
afternoon too.

 

Installing a 6 point mild steel roll bar as we speak. Main hoop set and finish welded' 6x6 plates welded for rear bars, both the rear bars fitted, ine of them half way welded. Ran out of welding gas.

 

Live the gains from a roll bar, but hate the weight and loss of back seat use. Nice work you have going there.

 

street car. has speakers still. lol

 

Rocking. Oem speakers lol. Gotta listen to sonething while your waiting in the staging lanes. need to go to the flee marlet and buy some cheapo speakers these sound like ***!!!

back seat is not going back in so not to worried about people climbing back there.

 

Trying to see if I can make the rear bar removable for rear seat access when not at the track.

 

Zone even if you could make the center cross bar on the main hoop removable it would still be a pain to get people in the back. The side door bars would still be in the way with the seat tipped forward. Not impossible to get someone in the back probably but a pain non the less. If you did have a removable center bar and swing out door bars then that might work though.

 

^^that won't be nhra acceptable. that crossbar must be welded in. i think some scca rules allow for a removable crossbar, but that won't affect you or me.

 

U buy this as a kit or bend yourself? If a kit where from?

 

I was thinking of removable or swing out door bars. When at the track I would just put foam padding over it and they would never know. As long as they see safety equipment, they do not question it. This is for test and tuning. A real event...probably have a closer inspection.

 

Swing outs are ok to 10.00 I believe. I have them on my car and take them out for the street.

 

Also not hating at all I swear but just curious if those welds will pass tech on an 8.50 cage?

 

Got the kit from bd racing in chicago. Jig notched

http://shop.brokedickracing.com/

 

Welds were layed in hot and everthing is welded all the way around. Cage doesnt need to be certified anyway its only a 6pt good for 10.00. Ive seen some pretty nasty looking roll bars at my local track. Mine look great compared to most ive seen

 

Thanks Looks like the fit is pretty good!

 

I dont have the door bars in yet but thwy look lioe they will fit awesome. They have a kink in them at arm rest fits good.

 

mini update,

roll bar complete and painted. used Rustoleum Hammered Black with sponge brush. it was a piece of cake. pretty much one coat and touch ups.

carpet and interior go in tomorrow.

also installed hurst quarter stick with pistol grip. Kickass!!!

 

I have that shifter in my car, I love it!

 

R u using third gen console or 4thgen? Curious on how its gonna fit

 

I'm using a fourthgen console and dash. It's got a really long throw, so I had to cut the console up a bit.

 

I raised the shifter off the floor a few inches so I didn't have to cut much out of my 4th gen console.

 

The roll bar paint looks great and is much easier then having to tape the whole car off when spraying. You have any other shots of the roll bar done after paint? Nice job man!

 

No sorry phone died on me last night. I will take some shot when i get it done. Paint looks alot better in person. I still have enoigh to do 4 more roll bars if need be

 

Looks great, If that shifter works like my pro stick, it's nice.

 

I'm anxious to see how that shifter fits in the console. Definately take some pics of how you mount it. Are you going to the track for wild wednesday this week?

 

The bracket i made is from sone left over 1/4" steel. It isand at 12* angle forward. I was a little skeptical using 2 mountibg bolts in the bracket. Feels sturdy and ready to jam gears.!!!

 

Maybe be at next wild wednesday depends on how much i get done this weekend in roll bar final assembly.




Park. "Radio because streetcar"


3rd gear

 

Soooo....that's what I shoulda done....

Very nice work sir!

 

Thanks man. How did u mount your shifter?

 

Mounted it in low. Had to cut the console up. Can you tell a woman drives this?

 

The lady deodoratant or how filthy the car is lol.

 

 

 

can you find a link to the exact rustoleum stuff you used? i really like how that turned out, and i've heard that stuff is stupid durable.

 

[QUOTE=mw66nova;5383958]can you find a link to the exact rustoleum stuff you used? i really like how that turned out, and i've heard that stuff is stupid durable.[/QUOTE/] I got it at lowes in paint department quart can and foam brushes cames out to around $20.00. Its a white labeled can says hammered finish black on it . They have grey too.stupid easy to apply too.

Installed innovative l c-1 wideband kit. Used jegs online price match tool and got it for $157.60. Regular price $209.00. The price matched an ebay store buy ot now . Gonna do sone tuning at the track wednesday if no rain

 

I have a innovate WB, works great. As for the deodorant or filth....both. I will be using the TA more, so that funk will be a no go.

 

Picked up this of ebay 2" tapered carb spacer knockoff procomp piece. Took a little time to clean up the cnc marks. Turned out pretty good. Gonna give it a try at the track maybe wednesday. 59.99$ buy it now

 

Let us know how it does, I made a 4 hole imitate one and gained 2 tenths, drivability was better as well.

 

Will do. Gonna get it running optimal with my one inch open spacer then swap over and try it. Wont be able to run air filter with 2" spacer unless i get a 2" filter

 

Same issue with my TA. The RS had a 4 inch hood. The Daytona turbo hood on the TA is maybe 2.5.

 

Ran in the mnca world street finals /lsx shootout this weekend in indy. Had a blast. Turned the 2 step down, added 200lbs of weight and ran the lsx rumble index class. 500 protree. I chose the 11.00 index.

Weekend started bad. Unloaded off trailer and car died and would restart. Saw smoke from under the hood and found burnt msd 6010 box. Thinking I was in luck seeing a msd trailer in the distance, I decided to rid e the 4 wheeler up to the msd trailer to see if they would swap me out a new one under warranty or worst case buy a new one. When I arrived at the msd trailer I was told that they did being any lsx ignition boxes (to the lsx shootout) with them and I was **** out of luck pretty much. Pretty bad marketing if you ask me. Thankfully I ran into jbenge and he had an extra one I could use at his house. He saved the day for sure. Deff owe him for that lol.

Rain was treatining Sundays eliminations so they ran into the wee hours of the night. Ended around 6am Sunday mourning lol.

Made it 5 rounds to the final 8 of the 64 car field. Went out with a relight(maybe due to It being 5 am lol) car ran 11.02-11.10 @ 125mph all night with r/t in the. 030-060 range

Brought home $85 dollars wahoo. First time ever really competing. Im hooked now lol

Special thanks the jbenge for msd box and helping keep the thirdgens on the track was deff out numbered lol

 

 

Holy late night batman. That is crazy.
