Nice cage.

I am building it right now just to see if I can, I have always purchased my track cars built, I just wanted to see if I can replicate the picture I have in my mind. beyond that I don't know, I built 3 off road cars last year and they all sold before I finished them. This one my do the same.

thanks man that means a lot to me! just ordered the CAE shifter and the OMP fire suppression system. (850 for a shifter) are you kidding, it is suppose to be one bad ass shifter, locks out reverse and springs to the center as you shift it is suppose to prevent a miss shift (which I have done and boom goes the s14). thanks again for following, its a big part of why I do it.
I love watching these builds, including yours. Keep it up!
Where do you plan to race?
I like that shifter a lot 
Where do you plan to race?
unless I sell the car I will run it at Barber in Birmingham Al, got the shifter and the rest of the brake cooling kit, I guess it's time to put the harness back in.
Who did the cage work? I live around Birmingham too.
holy awesome shifter.

http://www.kirkracing.com/ I thought this cage was a steal at 2k. Kirk is in Mt. Olive
finished painting the cage, I guess it is time to put the harness back in........oh bouy.
I received a red fire suppression, I ordered a BLACK one, return return.
Where do the fire suppression systems actually spray? Something I always wondered
it has 3 nozzles, 1 for the fuel tank, 1 for the driver and 1 for the engine bay.
It's on..........what does that plug into
Love this build! Keep up the great work so I/we can keep reading!
Kind of makes you wish you labelled everything better than youdid, dDon't it?

not a problem, plenty of pictures and the plugs are pretty simple, just takes times, so No it Don't.
Nice to hear. Most guys don't document enough. They think it is, but in the long run they don't.
Also, nice to hear about simplified plugs. Im used to stuff that yses the same three plugs a hundred times.
Any updates on this masterpiece?
I have been laying off waiting on the roof, that and the harness, fire suppression, ready to get going again.
This. is. awesome. Great read so far, looking forward to the finish!
So, what sort of weight savings are you looking at with the carbon roof?
I got to go on a tour of the BMW factory in Munich a few years ago, they would put the wiring harness' in an oven prior to install so they would flex and install easier. The workers had nice gloves, I don't remember the temp but it was hot enough to burn you if you didn't have gloves.
I can't imagine the fun of trying to get that harness in with a new cage in the way.
Car looks like it will be fun!
So, what sort of weight savings are you looking at with the carbon roof?
the weight saving is achieved by unbolting the sunroof cassette, it's all one piece and probably weights 35lbs, there is no weight saved with the carbon roof, it weights a little less than the metal roof you remove, so it is done purely for the look. I would not advise it or do it again, just drop the sunroof and plug the hole, save the $1300.00 for some other mod.

oh its tons of fun come over and share in the fun I don't want to hog it all..........getting it in is not the tough part getting it to work is another story 
yeah I know, you warned me, even swmbo has seen this so many times, when I started this one she said "now remember don't mess with the wires"
Which one of these wires is keeping this car from starting???
