What do you plan on having your converter restalled too and are you installing the rollbar yourself.

have you run it at the track with it the way it was, to get a before and after? I assume you have, as that's the reason for the roll bar... or you're doing it proactively which is probably the smart choice.


Glad to hear you stuck with the th400 too.

ned is wierd with the regulations....they list a bunch of crap and then when you tech in they list more, like screw in valve stems...dont forget padding for your cage...your seats have to be held tighly in place with a bracket so you dont get whiplash....and if they are dicks theyll ask you what sfi spec your other stuff is...so far theyv asked me 1 of 2 times....

you mean like what will happen to me. A bunch of first and 1/2 of second gear pulls are in store for my car 1st trip to work on suspension, so at least I I can accomplish something and not just one run... should be able to sort out the suspension and 60 foot doing that I think.


I'll save that full pass for later in the day

its a wolfe right?...its a very precise fit...since i got the bolt in, the powdercoat was on the inside of the bars as well...so id definately recommend getting it off first...i didnt realize until i went to put the first bar in after i already had the main bars in and i was like crap! and if your worried about meeting their safety requirements go to there website and check their rules....i couldnt find the ihra rulebook i had so i used their list and went there and asked what else was required....its mostly small stuff but was a pain to find screw in valve stems believe it or not...i had to go to 5 auto stores
