Default Cage time!

Well the time has come. Not only to become safe, but legal. We're having an 8.50 certified cage put in the car. Fully custom built by a good friend of ours. I dropped the car off this afternoon and Dave sent me this to my phone towards the end of the day. Although scary to see it's just another step we need to take towards our 8 sec pass with the stock 6 speed. I'll be sure to continue posting pics and updates on how the car is coming along.

Boost....that picture is a bit frightening.......I'd flip out if that were my car, but I am certain you have it entrusted to good hands. As for *needing* the cage, congratulations. Job well done.

Oh Yeah!! Check out how sick this turned out. I'll be picking the car up tomorrow and can't wait to see it in person. Big thanks to Dave Dodge and Jeremy from UPR for helping us out. You guys are awesome.

why keep the rear seats with that bar there? Nobody is going to be sitting there, right?

Get rid of them and save some weight.
