^ Thanks its a lot of work and still way more to do.

Im officially ready for GT5 if it ever actually comes out. So is my cat

brainfood · 08-15-2010, 09:19 PM

Got a little crazy today.

conrad_s13.5 · 08-16-2010, 07:21 AM

shit looks awesome!
question tho. How do you go about doing this the legal way for FD rules?
i was pretty sure i read you cant tie in a cage from the strut towers to the rear of the car. But i see all the pro's with basically what u doing.........and if i was positive on how to go about it ,.. i'd do it!

brainfood · 08-16-2010, 10:46 AM

The cage down tubes have to go to the chassis somewhere so they have to go to the strut towers in the rear or somewhere on the chassis. A lot of people used to run the cage down tubes to the strut tower bar (me included) but as of this year that is no longer legal. You can tube everything behind the rear most suspension mounts. Everything in between the front and rear subframe/suspension mounts has to stay stock. In front and behind that is okay.

conrad_s13.5 · 08-16-2010, 01:25 PM

fuck yeah!
thanks for the clarification!
i might cut my shit all up tonight then!......lol
with that x-brace,..whats ur plan for fuel tank/cell?

brainfood · 08-16-2010, 03:02 PM

It will sit right inside the x. It is pretty low but not super low and should help keep the CG low.

97240TB · 08-16-2010, 03:35 PM

This thread is a giant boner making machine.

Bring the hatch back. <3

brainfood · 08-16-2010, 10:40 PM

Lol thanks, I would like to own another hatch someday but the R32 is getting all my money right now and then the 510 needs love after that.

Not so bad with body panels back on. Waiting on material so I can do the tail light mounts and bumper mount.

killer240 · 08-16-2010, 10:59 PM

can u make love with my hatch too lol

brainfood · 08-16-2010, 11:44 PM

$$$ I can't imagine labor cost if I charged someone to do this.

conrad_s13.5 · 08-17-2010, 07:33 AM

curious on weight when all is said and done!

shits legit man!
keep it up!

GabeS14 · 08-17-2010, 01:00 PM

couldn't find it in the thread, but are the fenders B-magic?

brainfood · 08-17-2010, 02:27 PM

No, last bmagic fenders I had were so wavy it was crazy. They are BEE-r324 fenders front and rear modified to fit with a normal kit instead of the ugly bee-r kit

brainfood · 08-18-2010, 08:51 PM

Got the rear bumper mounted today. So nice to have it back in one piece.

killer240 · 08-18-2010, 09:14 PM

damn son ^^^ cant see that in action

Bumnah · 08-18-2010, 09:16 PM

Lovin' the rear tube frame stuff.

brainfood · 08-19-2010, 10:02 AM

Thanks guys. I cant wait to finish it I want to drive it

conrad_s13.5 · 08-19-2010, 10:21 AM

yeah,... drive vs. build time is killing me right now!
love the work hommie!

brainfood · 08-19-2010, 12:22 PM

Yeah I am still waiting on some parts so I figure better to do all this now and then once the car is done its done

Finished up the rear.

Om1kron · 08-29-2010, 10:08 PM

LOL I totally forget that you're down the street from me. Let me know if I can bug you to weld some a/n bungs to my valve cover sometime obviously for cash.

thetopcow · 09-01-2010, 10:44 AM

Just perused the blog, very fun build. I did see something that made me wonder, and you may have already thought of this: A gutted deck lid is just as flimsy as fiberglass if not worse. So will you be bracing the wing from the tubing under the deck lid?

brainfood · 09-01-2010, 10:57 AM

Yeah thats the reason the top bar is triangulated becasue the wing will be supported off the top bar. Its very strong i can jump on it where the wing mounts to the decklid.
