ESTRELLA-D, Part 2

I always thought those S&W cages where legal.

I would add a gusset on a gusset just to pass tech!!!

i know a lot of people that run S&W just make sure you get the pipe is to specs though.

ill be running one over the winter. you can get them for like 250-300.

By what ive observed they will let you drive at these events with just a bird cage in the back. Ive seen cars recently on the track with no cage at all.

Yeah, you know, cause ive never been to an event before..

People like this is the reason why I havent asked a question on a car forum in years. Im not asking the fucking dreamer peanut gallery, im asking people with answers and shit. Thanks to the rest of ya'll!

you sure you dont wanna take his advice?
HE OBSERVED.

Heart you all. Cause y'all niggas go hard.

as far as an actual answer goes. S&W cages are meant for customization. they give you a main hoop, some down bars, some cross bars, and a bunch of other random shit so you make the door bars and stuff how YOU want them for whatever racing you're doing.

so as long as the piping is the correct diameter and wall thickness, and whoever welds it for you follows pro-am rules, then you will be good to go.

ClubFR has its own rules, but its not like it will take any extra effort or money to meet pro-am rules, and you'll be better off in the long run that way.

and +1 on planning to keep this car forever. I wanted to get JLM's caged coupe, but just made the decision that if I'm going somewhere, its in this car. I'll never get rid of it, no matter how fucked it is right now.

I bet that tony faggot has never even been to an event

RAD. That's more like what I was looking for. I wish those Godspeed cages were still legal.



As far as the keeping it forever thing, this shell is so stupid clean and minty and awesome, Its pretty much what ive wanted since I first fucked up the og shark (a 180 clean enough to keep forever without worry), and its the main reason I got rid of the S14. I figure if I got out of this one, id probably never come back. And we cant be havin THAT shit.

Either way. Im super glad to be back home in a 180 again. 14's are for the birds and the oem metal faggots.

well, after driving feinsteins car, I never want a 180 again.

and after driving a turbo FC at dd33, I'm glad I didnt buy one of those either.

bonafide hachi faggot for life I guess.

so lets cage these cars and be professionals

Fuck professionals. I just wanna beat tall cars with low cars.

(probably not gonna happen but ill try haha)

if your car is lower, your already winning.

well shit, my car isnt low OR fast enough to win anything.

fuuu.

That car was turbo? I didn't pay attention to it enough I guess.

yea, S4 turbo II.

Those things have factory LSD, right? It looked like it was performing like it was an open diff.

factory clutch type.

it looked that way because he sucked.

by the end of the day he was doing pretty good though. almost linking the whole intermediate course.

Good shit Edgar its good to hear that your not selling it anytime soon.
Had me all worried for a minute.

Dont mind the front height and general shittyness like the taillights. This was before the new coilovers, I sold those RP03's already. I got some funny wheels for now.

want to see a front shot of this with works9 all sick.

I will, the front height is fixed now. I gotta find the cheapest pair of 19" tires.

OH

cool "origin" toyota logo hahaha.
