Minus the 7 spoke (i run teardrop hupcaps) and the fact that my tails are completely blacked out and i have no spoiler... Thats looks like my car! So i must say i like.

[noobdrftr]

looks good but im not a fan of the sleepy eyes...but hey its your car.

[sldewyz]

got some new wheels now. and im gonna start a roll cage in june. ill definately keep updates comin. heres some pics of my new wheels on (fronts only, have to save up for some rubber for all four so im wearing down the fronts, i would just roast um off but im waiting for my nismo fpr to come in also)









how they look?

[sil80_chris]

looks pretty clean man...i need to get my license already... ...oh yeah and it looks like you need a new lip no offense...

[sldewyz]

yea its been like that since i got it. need to hit up the hardware store lol

[Logan76]

looking nice, cage material? mig or tig?

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Whatever you do, please don't do the 240z conversion, please!!! Keep the chuki or go silvia is my 2 cents.

And to a fellow s13 owner, look into some s14 seat belts. One if my favorite mods so far. Anyways, looks nice so far.

looking nice, cage material? mig or tig?

mild steel...1 3/4 inch tubing .095 wall thckness i think im going with.. it agrees under formula drift specs and i want it to be legal for local events so i think thats the key. id like to tig it but time will be the big restraint. depending on time ill try to tig, but if not i can mig perfectly fine too.

ive nismo harnesses in there that will go with the cage so. i do want the other s13 seats tho. se 2 peice seats ftl

[mexicanracer03]

looking forward for the progress

[Logan76]

Is that schedule 40? I don't know the equation to figure out the schedule of pipe off my head, I have a nice booklet at work with all sorts of equations and such, how to figure out the type of bearings your need etc. I wish I had a copy at home lol.

How many point cage must it be to certify for drift? I know Honda's need atleast a 8 point to break 10's at most tracks. I don't know much about cages though.

http://www.drifting.com/Formula_Drift.php scroll down the page and read these rules. this is what i followed. im assuming these will fit into most local events as well

[sldewyz]

heres my todays starting progress. stripped, measured and started the initial roll bar. have mockups to see what hight i need the harnesses at when im done.

i agreed with these rules. http://dsr.racer.net/docs/rule...r.pdf

i chose 1 1/2 inch .120 dom tubing with 1/8 steel plates to mount it in. i havnt mounted it in yet but tom i plan on cleaning the mounting surfaces and preping for welding.

stripped sept the dash







ill have more pics usually every day or other day. let me know whay yall think and or suggestions.

[hbpignosePA]

sweet dude....

if u seriously do a 240z conversion make sure you can make it flow well or else

[sldewyz]

i highly doubt ill do that to this one. this will be full blown track car eventually. itl probly have the front bumper held on by zip ties or straps at that point.

[sldewyz]

updates. all i have to do left is make door bars and gussets then ill probly repaint the floors black to match the outside and then paint the cage blue.
