Nice cage. Still not sure why most of you extend the rear diagonal supports into the trunk tho. Just extra un-needed metal.

Gluck in H1 tho! Give them hell.

Very nice set up. would you be willing to share some of the details on the cage (cost location?)etc...?

I see the seat is a sparco, any special fitments? is that just a plain jane sparco evo?

did you need any funky set of rails, or seat mounts?

thanks for sharing and great looking set up!

Sparco Rev seat on Taitec sliding seat rail--from Science of speed. Taitec rail is the lowest. my passenger seat brace is a sparco and sits an inch or 2 higher. Go w the Taitec. I left some of the int. in for looks--it doesnt make it go any faster--- neither do the stickers.

Thanks for sharing, I'm getting my car built as we speak (not as elaborate though, just a roll bar not cage, seat, harness etc.. and was curious to know more about the seat, harness and rail/sliders etc...

thanks and if you have any bigger pictures please pm me or email me directly at s4dojo at gmail dot com

thx,

On a Taitec sliding seat rail you can also put on a Recaro SPG seat without any problems. If you go w the Taitec you better order it early as its usually special order from Japan.

Looks like an extra ~20 lbs but then again you have a minimal passenger bar, so I guess you are more or less even.

I like the HT attachment plates, but am curious why you opted for your easy entry nascar door bar over a double X.

Nice cage.

I think the remote reservoir shocks hand you a 75 pound weight penalty so even if the cage were lighter you would have to make it up in ballast.

Are you going to make the journey to Mid Ohio for the NASA Nationals?
