Probably the first summit weekend. If I don't make comp school in Feb I'll go down to CMP and do evals there, even though I've never even seen the track :?

CMP = brake and tire eating fireant infested shithole. But I like it.

woah cool! what tool did you use, I needs one of those.
- .RJ - 01-18-2006
Why did you remove it?

4.5" Grinder and 3-4 Cutoff Wheels
.RJ Wrote:Why did you remove it?
It weighed about 10lbs...and it was going to have to be trimmed to get the cage back tubes in, so I figured, fuckit, better cut it out now while I can get back there.
On a second note, I just dropped $700 at pegasusracing for the final stuff needed. I picked up a 10lb halon fire system :roll:

Do the rules allow for removal? I would have left it in, for the marginal amount of stiffness it provides.

Well, in AI attachment points are unlimited, so I'm going to take advantage of all the metal that is already in the car, as much as I can, rear won't be to bad, just 5 tubes or so.

Im sure youve said this before but how many points is this cage gonna have??? I find something oddly erotic about roll cages

Hum, good questions, I have no idea, we will just have to count them up when it is all said and done :lol:

Jesus :lol: ....."Well ive gotta 80 point roll cage in my car"
- .RJ - 01-19-2006
Chad, do you have anyone that can do an FEA analysis on the cage you plan on doing?
If nothing else get some balsa wood and wood glue - throwing a bunch of tubes at the car wont automatically make it stiff, as I'm sure you know

I've seen enough cages to know what I need to do, and nobody said I was throwing tubes at it

Who is building it for you? Or, dare I ask, are you doing it yourself?
