Haha cool I wondered when you'd be doing that!

BTW, did you decide on the camber and what not? I have mine set at -2 right now, not sure if it's made a difference or not...

Nice! Just curious, how much extra weight does something like this add? Which material are you using?

I'm pretty sure you can get away with still having four seats in a four door with a 5-point. And he's legal to 10.00 now.

LOL

Seeing a Caged Maxima, I know it needs it to run faster then 11.49, but just something baout it, 4 door car with a bar. LOL I dunno. I have a 6pnt bar in my TA, that I can deal with. I dunno if I could deal with a bar in my Maxima as well. It's a good thing mine is slow.

Why Mild Steel and not Chromolly? Less weight...

He is fast enough to need it and he is not the first to have one. Looks good. Hoping to see some great times.

CM needs to be TIG welded, I just have a MIG. CM would be about 25lbs lighter.
