does the 4 point harness keep you from moving in the stock seats?
also, how much heavier you think you just made the sc? i wanted to do this too, but just wasnt sure if i needed it right now.


looks great though :Thumbup:
Yeah, stock seats for now. I bent the bars slightly away from the stock seats so you can manuver around almost like there is no cage. The cage does limit the rearward movement and recline of the stock seats some. The cage weighs around 78lbs or so. The harnesses are acually 5 point. I didnt install the 5th point for the passenger seat. Once they are tight, they limit your movement very well.

Whats up man. I do plan on running her into the 10's rather easily. I'm hoping for mid to low 10's. I have a built motor and possibly a 76mm turbo going in soon.

Nice

Will the rear seats still fit?, I know they'll be useless, but im asking if they'll still fit back there?
What size tubing and wall thickness?

1 3/4" .134" wall tubing. The seats will not fit without modification.

Just be careful when driving that thing on the street. More people get serious injuries WITH cages on street cars than without, the reason of coarse is that no one drives with a helmet on the street, as you would on a track.

It does look very nice though...
