I'll start a build thread on here. Just picked the car back up from the cage builder today & got it home. Here are pics of the cage.

Nice cage. How big is that tank?

The one on the passengerside? I believe its a 2 gallon tank, for the intercooler.

This car is such srs biznizz, one of THE sickest FWD SR20 cars, ever

Ahahaha wow, good catch Nick, that was actually on accident

it made sense to me either way depending on how you interpreted it

Notched out the dash so it fits with the cage.




So many people stared at me today including a cop lol. Car is extremely stiff as to be expected and handles well, did a little bit of cornering to test the handling.

Just out of curiosity, where did you get the cage built, and to what specs? Looks like a pretty nice cage, though not FIA spec. What kind of racing do you plan to do with the car?

A local shop built it, plan on doing auto-x and drag racing. If I get a decent suspension setup I might do a couple rally races at a track near me as well(Gravity Park in Chilton, WI).

Gravity park is fun place to race, hopefully I will see you out there once my car is done.

Tearing down the car


Simplified the dash harness


3lbs worth of wires I cut out


Extended & shotened some wires so I can run the interior body harness behind all the body panels. Have to buy clips yet for it but none of the wires should be visible once done (no rear interior pieces will be going back in).


1st 2 layers of metal were rusted thru (16ga & 18ga) but the rest seems solid.


Now some people shouldn't be allowed to touch cars. Instead of welding in some new metal the previous owner decided to fill the pillar with foam then sand it & just mud over top of that before painting.






All the rust sucks but it should be fun forming new pieces and repairing it.

wow bro that seems kinda ruff but its all in a project. gl let me know how it gos

I know your pain. On my rally car I had to rebuild both front frame rails, two big chunks of the floor pan, the back sides of the rockers, and the drivers rear frame rail.

I'm not as dedicated as some of you guys eliminating ur ps but would like any extra hp gain I can get so I might install this electric power steering pump/resevoir I purchased a year ago. Its off of a Renault from over seas with ruffly 40,000 miles of use. Should weigh less then are stock units as well.
