Default Race Engineering/Jason "Speedy Jr." Spasoff cage updates.

I have to give the boys over at Race Engineering a huge shout out. They are making the bars faster than I can weld them in! Here are some pictures of the progress. The car just had a bare bones 10pt with no dash bar or rocker bars. I'll post more as we make progress. We are thrashing to get this done so I can make it up to Speed Inc to have the master mind tune this thing.

Day 1




Day 2

Tell me about it. My buddy decided to take a video of me laying half upside down with my leg hanging out of the car running the foot peddle propped up on a chair.

I'm guessing your building a 25.5? tubing looks too small for 25.2/3

Correct. The original 10pt was mild and I just don't have the time to start from scratch. This was a last minute ordeal.

I'll have new pics up when I get home but something horrible happened today. The car has yet to see boost since it was freshened up this winter and somehow today #8 was full of water. Worst thing is, to pull a head, the motor has to come out of the car!

Is that the Race Engineering in Crown Point, IN. If so, they also did the cage in my car. They also did alot of other chassis and suspension fabrication. they do very good work. I was very happy with the attention to detail.

Lovely, isn't it? Just pulled the motor apart and dye checked everything and I can't find any cracks. The head gasket looked good too. Off to the machine shop it all goes.
