Ive been toying withthe idea of a rollcage fo about 2 years. Ho wmuch ? welded or bolted? do it yourself? gimme som einfo , help me decide. My car is an lt1 vert though.

ar0ck 06-28-2008 02:05 PM

Looks good Paul! I like it without the stripes, now just get that bumper painted, or throw your stocker back on.

I saw the cage at your last party, did you bolt it in?

V 06-28-2008 02:39 PM

the cage was about 525, bolt in. i am still in the process of installing it. I should be finishing it up next weekend when im back in jersey.

Alex, the rear bumper will be getting painted soon, along with a hatch, hood, front grille, and blower plenum...

then mid july, i should be getting around to that dam exhaust and i'll finally be able to lower the rear of the car back down.

hehe, they are getting swapped out. The grille is going to be Pewter as well. With the SKY around now, the SS is going more "drag-based". The stereo is getting downsized as well to 1 sub and one amp, no more dvd player or x box.

you should put your Base sticker on the lower drivers side part of the windsheild, it looks alot better and you wont get hassled

V 06-29-2008 04:24 PM

nah, here we are told to put it in the middle as high up as possible

sweetbmxrider 06-29-2008 05:33 PM

why do you still have a rear seat? looks cool though

Featherburner 06-29-2008 05:46 PM

What brand/mfg. is the rollbar?

V 06-29-2008 07:48 PM

the reason i still have a rear seat is the same as why i still have full A/C.

the rollbar is from Wolfe

I think he means why do you still have the rear seat in there when you have the bar now? It's not safe for anyone to sit there.....

GP99GT 06-29-2008 08:14 PM

that weight is miniscule(sp?) other stuff has already been taken into account plus with pending hp levels... 20lbs aint nothing for a car thats not raced competitively. The car is dropping almost 500lbs this month anyway. my issue is traction and will be for some time.

of course, lol. but yea im going 9" due to the ability to change the carrier quicker and easier. 1 with 373s and one with 250s. once the rear is done it'll get slicks.

sweetbmxrider 06-29-2008 11:47 PM
