i never really considered the 4 pt to be a real cage. i have it in mine and just got a kick out of how much it strengthens(stiffens) the chassis. you can damn near pitch the car sideways.
besides, you cant really take a "roll cage" seriously that bolts in with three 1/2 inch bolts at each point. haha when i got mine it was bolted in with 20cent grade 2 hardware. at least i put it in there with metric grade 8.

there are a lot of opinions about carlos's car, fitment of parts, moldings, dents...etc etc...but what it all comes down to is that the car is daily driven, and i think for it to get the cover of a magazine and be daily driven is awesome, and it will be even better once its done getting a few things changed up

I agree, but all and all, 90% of cars in mags are from socal, so geography has Alot to getting into a mag, not only how the car looks. Whens the last time htuning was in ny?. Not to start **** about the car, it is indeed nice, just needs some work on the fitment.

doesnt look like the motor actually helped with the chase, but the driver, tires, suspension did.
that fit handled better. but on the straights, the DC5 walked it every time.

Re:
Does anyone in San Diego know of a body shop that will let me rent their spray booth for a day?
It looks like my mismatched paint isnt from oxidation, its from the first batch of paint that I think got mixed wrong! So the whole time I had the lighter blue on the car it was supposed to be the darker blue which imo looks way better. SO now I have to respray the entire car.
**** has not been going my way lately when it comes to cars. My civic keeps frying distributors and I cant figure out why, and now the paint thing, needless to say I'm stressin out big time!
