Default Fun this weekend ---> Autopower install

I finally got the Autopower 4 point bolt in cage in this past week. A buddy of mine and myself installed it and everything went very smoothly. We did it in under 3 hours. No problems whatsoever. He will post the pics in the next day or so.

All i can say after test driving it is wow! The car feels totally different and i feel safe in it. This was my first cage install and my first cage owned as well. The car absolutely felt like it was on rails. You could jerk the wheel back and forth and it had no hesitation. I guess it feels like one big *** strut bar only it will protect me in the event of a rollover in the driving schools that i attend (god forbid that would ever happen).

Pics of the install to come ASAP.

Install was very straight forward. The problem was the summer timeHeat!
Here is the pic:

Yes that write up is fantastic. I read and re-read that over and over so i didn't really need the instructions in front of me during the install as i remembered just about all of it.

Yes...great job boys! I rode in it and drove it with the cage and the response is phenomenal. There is a real difference!
