Tim240z Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 He's gonna need all those extra bars because those welds look like crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 those are some nasty welds. and yes i think thats a tad overkill. my buddie back in florida has a 502whp VW Rabbit and his cage isnt near.. NEAR that complex, and he needs it lol. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZROSSA Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Lot of wasted work there. No Triangulation that I can see. May as well just be a single hoop. Wouldnt pass inspection at any track here. Bummer. Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Here comes trouble Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 and that folks is called "shotgun welding".....just hook up that positive cable to the right barrel and the negative to the left barrel and fire away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Looks like the result of 'I'll supply the beer' job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katman Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Nothing like a lot of extra weight up high to raise that CG, because we all know Rabbit's love to pull two wheels up off the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 And that rear strut bar attachment - looks like a U-bolt through flattened ends of the pipe!!! How rigid is that?!? At least Honda tuners make Bling parts Bling with billet and or gussets. Dr. Porsche is turning over bigtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillZ260 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Just looks sort of random and not well thought out. Weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Ack! I forwarded the link to the Reverend JWL (who's the direcor of NASA) and he went "Ack!" too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preith Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 You'd think with all that tubing he would have a better spot to mount the shoulder harness straps other than the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 FYI... I was told the car showed up at a USTCC event and wanted to run in the Pro race with that cage. He ended up in the beginner's HPDE session with the caveat that he couldn't take any passengers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Ofcourse he would be from Dallas. Gives us in the area a bad name. Anyway, Wonder why no one on that forum is knocking him for the crazy cage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax240z Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Worst cage design I've ever seen... you could build a cage twice as rigid with half that steel easily... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Ouch, I bet that stung! ....and he was sooooo proud of it too. shame....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
