i would REALLY like to know your exact reasoning for cutting the roof off just to put the rollcage in... ive put many cages in cars, including my old S13 which had a 14 pt cage and i never had to remove the roof...

'07 B13's FTW!

Alright, I feel like we've explained this a hundred times already, buut here goes.
If we cut the floor and dropped the cage down it would have only given us approx. 3" of room on top, not really enough to get some good welds in there with the mig. Anyway we aren't the first to do it this way, re: Dent Sport Garage. It was a pre-bent cage that we ordered as well, not like we could fit it or bolt it in. It'll pass FIA specs so we're not concerned, and the roof is getting gusseted back on to the cage as well.

Mark, I'm glad you are enjoying yourself because when you get back we have a whole heck of alot of work to get done!! Awesome B13 too!!MeanGreen, before we chopped the roof, we consulted with different race car builders and we decided it would be our best option. It wasn't just a ahck job(no pun intended) don't worry we are going to properly support the roof and we have a good body man in mind (cbcustoms) Kognition, your parts look great, I am going to send you a sponsorship email, and hopefully we can win some of that contingency money  I actually work with composites daily (ex: Fiber Tuned Intake Manifold) and some other things! Steve, yeah we'll be around pretty much all day saturday and sunday, swing by sometime!!

Update on Goodrich EOS sponsorship,Sean wrote a letter last night explaining what is going on and what not!! Dan was very nice to put together a list of products/ parts we still need and the price of each one. And I put together a book of all photos taken to show the whole process of the car and the progress made so far. I should hear back by noon time tomorrow. I'm excited and hopefully we can get some extra funds for the car because we sure need it. I'll keep you guys posted tomorrow after I hear the news.

Fenris: We are in San Diego, a bit too far from where you are.
MagikDragon: I will look at your proposal in the AM. But yes, cash is king in Time Attack! In the first two Redline events of the year, i handed out $800 in prize money. I might make it out to VIR Oct 6th and 7th with our S14 Silvia. I'm going to try really hard to make it out there,

Sean, seems like everything else for the engine that I ordered is going to be in Boston by the time I get back. I´m not quite sure what´s waiting for me for stuff I have to do when i get back but I´m going to try to get up there on sunday at some point if at all possible and start putting the engine together. Shoot me an e-mail if you need anything else.

We actually have not released the S13 sunroof delete or the roof replacement. But that should be very soon. I am the primary mold maker, and i lost about 2 months of productivity after my 11 year old Dog passed away in May. I couldn't really work on anything. But things are back to nornal now.

Sorry no i don't.
I was just going over my schedule for November, and i just realized that i have to be with our 350 Z team for Super Lap Battle at ButtonWillow on the 7th. We qualified the car at Willow Springs last month for that Time Attack. Then we head north the next day to Laguna Seca for the Redline Time Attack finals which is a 3 day event from the 9th to the 11th. So i have to have my car loaded up and go straight to Super Lap.
Redline wants us to head to Laguna Seca moreso because this is their year end event with a ton of media etc. So my car has to be there without question.

I am working double time right now to stay on top of my work so that i can make it out there in October. Since it is a major drive for me, i really have to plan things to a T. So i do need to get this new truck and trailer before that. I can't say for sure if the Z will be going, but my car is coming with me if i do make it out. | Quote, originally posted by nismofly » | | hey Mike any chance of the Z making it there or just the chance of your s14? either way i hope you can make it out |

Hey man hope the projects going well. I ordered one of the 9 turbos from Joe in the group buy. Any word on the ETA?
I have a used ARC fmic, but it's for an s14 chassis. I'd be willing to let it go cheap to a good cause. The retail new is like $1700 us. Also have a turbo dump pipe that I'm not using. Not sure if they would be of any use to you.
LMK as I can email you pics if you want.
