  1. ok your a DA ;> Just had to do that since know one else did ;> and im glad to see you got it working good job
  2. "What the?/? ZX g nose" I said. When i saw it i was impressed. does wonders fro teh front of the zx i like it ;>
  3. check out my page i have them installed with the body mods too. go to the body working page to see the before pics of teh 1/4 panels
  4. i agree but from the sounds of it lots of options to make stronger ie really big shafts. And i did notice how easy it would be to get in the z car. and at 250 bucks lots cheaper then a solid axle mod. Ill prabably just go with the cv upgrade but the jag rearend looks trick. would cost an arm and leg to get it here to alaska anyone out there ever do one in a z?
  5. there is a complete jag rear suspension on ebay for 250 bucks!!! is that good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=597890810&r=0&t=0&showTutorial=0&ed=1006184925&indexURL=0&rd=1 heres what you can do if you got the bucks http://www.bryanf.com/mycars/yf/rsusp.htm man thats tempting ;> wonder how strong the jag rearend is?
  6. hey tim can you email those pics to me? id like to see them ;>
  7. Ross when you say small tabs do you mean tieing in at various points around the cage besides the floor and frame mounts example... welding tabs from the cage to pillars and roof areas to the cage? I could see how this would stiffen considerably over just a cage install is this what you mean?
  8. Ok maybe we are missing my problem.. i live in alaska and the only way to have any of these cages shipped is 2nd day air'< so a 150 dollar cage will cost 300+ to ship. im still looking for someone that will ship truck freight up here but cant find any;< what about the roofhoop? require about the same amount?
  9. 8 feet tubing cheap? how much do you need to make a main hoop
  10. yea thats what i was thinking too. mine were a late model 260 with the bigger struts i think he gave me 240 sleeves oh well they are installed now. i wanted to make them look better but it was such a paint to get teh sleeves on the fist time i got them on i left it and just installed in teh car ;< anyone have a spare set of the larger 260 or 280 strut housings they want to get rid of. ???
  11. SCCA, Are the threaded sleeves on your page slip on or do they require shaving of the housing to slip on... i have the AZC setup and had to shave alot off to get them to fit. if they are slip on i may try to get another set of front tubes and do it over. thanks stony
  12. can anyone tell me if ihra and nhra rules governing rollcages are different or if im good in ihra im good in nhra? where can i get info on the requirements on building a cage. i would be really upset if i build this cage and i cant use it ;< looks like me being in alaska best bet is to just build one myself. ive heard all talking about even pre made cages still require alot of cutting and trimming to fit. i also think im just gonna go with the cv swap and live with the IRS. for now ;< the guys here in alaska arnt very strict they need as much business as possible ;> but well see.
  13. should the main hoop be straight up and down or can it be leaned back a bit to follow the contour of the door opening.
  14. ok well next question.... the metal supplier up here only sells pipe not tubing. pipe haveing a seam and tubing not haveing a seam. is there a big difference between pipe and tubing in strength and will it be legal? (pipe that is) i think ive seen a couple picks of cages in here that had seams
  15. what about the plates that you weld to the floor to mount the cage? what thickness?
  16. basically all i need to start with is teh main hoop and the roof that goes from tht top of the main hoop and follows the top of the windshield and back to the main hoop thanks
  17. hey anyone know where i uplaod pics and store for free
  18. oh well that is not the 900 hp engine but still looks good... seams i violated geocities by posting pics here from there ;< wont let me do anymore
