Looking good.

 

good start.
What kind of powerplant do you plan to use?

 

k20a2

 

You might want to check NHRA rule book on your back bars ..
I beleive it stated that they need to be angled at a 30 degrees downward ..

I also think that if you have to bend the down bars you have step up in tubing size/thickness i believe

 

im pretty sure the guy who did it has it all under control.. but i'll check with him

 

Looks good, but i'd probably put some more support on the steering column. The triangle piece is the right idea, but it should be closer to the steering wheel. Doesn't the column flex quite a bit? If you run bars from the dash bar to the column, closer to the steering wheel, it'll be ALOT stiffer. This pic doesn't show it best, but you can get an idea. This column doesn't flex at all. The column in Rado's old car did quite a bit and the tubes were coming about halfway up the column.

 

also....

---i believe the seat cannot be adjustable
---must have a brace from the shoulder bar to the back side of the seat(or the seat tight up against the shoulder bar)

-- your window net connection on the bottom cannot be detachable like it is.

 

thanks for all of your guys' help. looks like its time to change some things!

 

Great start, reminds me of mine in the early stages. keep going ,season starts sooner than you think.

 

Looking very good... So what total weight are you expecting? Just to be on the safe side I would check out the 2004 NHRA rule book just to see if everything is A-OK! Good Luck!!!

 

Looking good, mate

 

It looks as though you only have a roll bar legal to 11.00?

If so you dont need to have the rear bars at the 30 degree angle. That is only for a full cage.

The seat thing Im not sure on the book really is'nt clear. What class are you going to be in?

 

loods decent

 

all motor class, nhra.. i want it to be legal to run 9's.. i took the guy the rulebook when i took him the car, wonder if he even read it... i'll see what all needs changed tonight.

 

good stuff

 

very nice good start..so what is your game plan for the ride anyways? what type of suspensoin and motor setup are you planning?

 

if you just going to run at firebird i wouldnt worry to much about the roll cage. they dont check stuff to the "T" like some other tracks
