THIS IS NOT WHAT I AM GETTING! oops lol

is it for the fd?



mike

of course its for the FD

you know, for 10 sec et's you only need 6 points... your adding unneeded weight and taking away more of your interior room by having those bars accross the windshield



how much was it?

what i meant to say is the kit generic? or for fd?



mike

its specific for the FD



who says i won't try and run 9.99........ :smirk:

cool, so it should fit ok



mike

thats the first 8 point like that I have ever

seen. I didnt count but it looks like a 14 point

maybe the style of counting is different

a friend of a friend has one and said it fit PERFECT!

Did you get a chromoly cage? It is over 40lbs lighter, also that is a 10 point pictured there. How much was the cage that you bought?

Scott

chromoly was twice as expensive. the cage i got was $180 + shipping

this is a 8 point roll cage https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

an 8 point roll bar is good enough for 9.99 - 7.50 times ?

here is a pic from the manufacturer website. THIS IS WHAT I ORDERED..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Hmm first we need you to stop granny shifting.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

good luck with it. I think I should get one. I'm sure i'll see the end result later. Let me try getting in and out before i decide though.

9.99 ha? or better? youre way more hardcore than me! :bigthumg:

:werd: LOL!

I need one too

ok i like the looks and price of the BAR you ordered. how much leg room (seat travel) do the driver and passanger loose with that kit?

i'm retarded i put the wrong thing sorry LOL

To hell with worrying about it's weight. For those that want to get one but are worried about weight or what not, get as many points as you can live with. That thing will be worth it's weight in gold if it ever gets called upon to save your ass.



**** happens. A good cage is the best one time use only insurance policy you can buy.

i agree with jerk racer!

Better check to make sure swing out door bars are legal for your class. I seem to remember reading somewhere that swing-outs weren't legal. I can't remember what type of racing that was for though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

i have to find out about swingouts. if i can't have swing outs i'll have to deal with it and lose 30lbs :smirk:

haha start running https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



mike

swing outs are legal in every import drag racing santioning body for street class or street tire cars

Hee Hee. My info was from long before there was import drag racing. Used to have a subscription to HOTROD. Surprising NHRA would bend on a rule like this.

I was told that my cage would cost about $700 to install. Mine was a full cage that went around the roof and te dash and doors, etc... That was too much for me so I am selling my Kirk Cage and having a custom chromoly cage built and installed instead. I believe that the 6 point will cost me $900 installed for a chromoly cage.



As far as weight goes, if you are serious about drag racing than weight matters. Not for street driving or safety but you will not find a competitive race car with a heavy cage, lightweight equals more speed. I am not going all out drag but to me 30-40lbs is alot to save. That saved weight with the spare tire, jack, etc.. and you could save almost 100lbs which could be the difference between a 11.0 and a 10.9. I went chromoly.

my car has more than enough power to get in the 10's i'm not worried https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

sorry but where does it mount to in the rear



do u have to take out your rear bins
