Powerneedy's Time Attack build
Well I picked this car up with the intentions of picking up where my red car left off but instead of making the car fun, fast, and "comfortable" I decided it was all in or nothing. The car is being built to run mainly in Redline time attack Modified class, but there is lots of other organizations it still will fit in. Here is how it started out when i bought it and has been like this for 6+ years...
And here it sits now... bare with me better pics to come i keep forgetting my camera
The main hoop for the cage is done just not shown in the pics welded up. The "freebe" things are mainly the things done so far untill the cage is done. So far these items have been removed to ditch weight
Complete ABS
Complete AC
complete Stock Clutch MC/ SC/ lines
Complete evap,
Complete airbag system
All rear seat brackets
Any bracket not used (there is tons)
All sound Deadning and fire wall matte
Sun roof/ roof
Rear window wiper
All interior except Dash, center console, arm rest delete
Antenna
Any harness, plugs, sensors not used
Got the clutch in
More pics of the progress. Both front stays are built just both are not in the picture. door bars are almost finished but no pics of those yet
Little more progress
Tuner View all mounted ready to go
-Update
Well between work and family I have been still working on the car but only little bits at a time and never had time to take photos... The car is still not quite there and still dirty just wanted to update you guys a little. Still unsure what or how im going to do door panels, the factory ones dont fit by only a little. I wasnt going to run carpet but ocd got me LOL...

Re: Powerneedy's Time Attack build
Nice skills I was going to say dont put the roof on before you finish the cage but you did. Where did you get the carbon fiber roof? Is this your first build ? was it hard to bend the cage and mock up everything? More pics of cage building

Tilton has made them since the late 90s for B series clutches.

Re: Powerneedy's Time Attack build
Where did you get the carbon fiber replacement roof panel from? I am going to delete my sunroof on my track car and was just going to use an OEM roof panel, but if I can get a carbon one for almost the same price then why not.
Also what guage sheet metal are you using on the floor for the roll cage? Btw, the cage work is beautiful. Keep up the good work

Re: Powerneedy's Time Attack build
The roof is from a guy that is local that is in ruff form as I was on a tight schedule and took it before it was done to cut the roof out. It runs 450 before shipping for the race roof.
Thickness of plates are... I think 1/8th inch I think I will double check to many other things going on to remember haha
right now no on the turbo... Have ran out of money lol. main thing this year was handling/chassis Next year is the motor build. The turbo setup is pretty quick for how light the car will be, it is bigger than most people think also. To help the turbo out I am building a 3" dp and ported out the stock greddy mani for now.

Re: Powerneedy's Time Attack build
How are you attaching the roof? If just epoxy, you may want to consider a couple safety tabs just in case the epoxy deteriorates. I saw a Corvette lose it's T-top down the back straight of VIR earlier this year, and it sucked for him. It would suck way more to lose your ENTIRE roof
Cage looks great too I really like the hydraulic TO bearing, never seen that before.

Re: Powerneedy's Time Attack build
Suspension im running skunk 2 pro-c with 16kf/14kr we will see how it works out with the car setup like this.
The roof sits under the windshield slightly and quite a bit under the molding and literally "snaps" on the roof of the car. I also will most likely use windshield urethane. Stinky i will really be considering some other attachments as I would hate to loose something like that hahaha
Thanks for all the comments guys

Re: Powerneedy's Time Attack build
I see a lot of dry fibers on the underside of that roof!
Just curious what you are using to attach it. let me know, I have some stuff you can use that I use on the roofs that I sell.
Surface prep of the 2 bonding materials is the most important step.

Re: Powerneedy's Time Attack build
Trust me, neither do I!
Most cats (in NASA anyway) are pretty good drivers though. I don't want to bang my car up either, and racing is totally fun.

Re: Powerneedy's Time Attack build
Why not terminate your cage tubes at mounting plate junctions as opposed to other tubes? Seems like your giving up some strength.
