Re: Figured out what I am doing with the custom cage
My wolfe 5-pt bolt in was $500, easy to install, looks good, mostly NHRA legal, and came in around 65-70# also.

5 point is legal but people usually get the 6 point to help tie the body together a little better. Plus wouldn't you feel sad if you were in a car accident and you lived because of the crossbar on your side but your wife or significant other didnt <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: Figured out what I am doing with the custom cage
I am not talking about the track man LOL
Besides she actually asked to have a bar in the pass side for safety reasons anyways. Highways etc. LOL
She asked if I could put a cage in our Acura 3.5RL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

LOL! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
what i meant was, if they are removable, i assumed that you would only use them at the track...meaning on the street it would be a 4-pt either way.
when you gonna buy a meziere?

Figured out what I am doing with the custom cage
Going to do a six point chromeoly custom cage with removable side bars for the street.
Cages aint cheap <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
Also getting long studs in the front wheels. May as well make it legal for tens while I am at it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
Cage should only weigh about 65 pounds.
Cheers,
Chris

She has experienced some wild rides on the way to Cecil with me when we lived in Maryland LOL!
I am a very sensible driver now hahaha <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

As for the elec WP I dont think I am going to bother with that. Now if I was at 11.05 in the 1/4 then I would definitely look at it LOL!
Just going to do some stealth weight reduction and safety stuff for now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
