pretty insane cage... but it had to be up to spec according new SCCA Cage rules - still i think Dave got a little too carried away! :lol:

Rally Saturday... we'll find out eh? ;)

Do you have to leave them in for the class rules?

Do the front support bars go down through the dash?
Subie Gal 02-25-2003 12:15 PM

and reinstalled :)

Jamie,
You should make some "grocery bags" from cardboard and detail them, mount them in the back off the bars or something.

:D

You need one of these too:

Paul G.<--loves his grocery getter..
It kills me that some of your interior pieces are in better shape than mine. :lol:
Subie Gal 02-25-2003 12:32 PM

Thought about the grocery bags...
but somehow i think the

[b]baby on board[/b] sticker is going to be so much more appropriate - in sooooo many ways :D :lol: i hear, once upon a time, they put one on Richard Burns' car too... hehehehee....

Jamie
paultg 02-25-2003 12:36 PM

Are you having a baby? :confused: :D

Paul G. <--how quick will it take for this to get out of hand and all over the site. I say, 30 min. :)
Subie Gal 02-25-2003 12:39 PM

erm... NO... i'm not having one...

but the whole "wagon grocery getter" thing...
coupled with my rally day temper tantrums? ;)

make that sticker more than appropriate :D :lol:

O, I get it now.

:lol:

Paul G. <-- a bit slow, but not at an autox.. ;)

I think only body mounting points count, not every single joint in the cage. Yours looks like a 9 or 10 point cage if that's the case.

JD
Subie Gal 02-25-2003 02:14 PM

nope... that's straight from the horses (Dave Clark's ) mouth...

29 point...

it's connected in more areas than you think ;)

not just the major points....

Jamie

[QUOTE]nope... that's straight from the horses (Dave Clark's ) mouth...[/QUOTE]

I've never heard of anyone counting each indiviual weld to the A and B pillars or roof as a 'point' before. Just a thought.

Saw this cage last Saturday and it was very impressive. I wonder if Dave could do a similar cage in my street car just so I could feel like a bad ass?:p
Subie Gal 02-25-2003 04:23 PM

hehehee i dunno if you'd WANT one in your street car ;)

i'll take ya for a ride...
talk about STIFF... :p

not something i'd want to drive everyday...
but on rally weekends... yeah baby :devil:

Jamie

does the cage extend into the engine bay? (ie onto the strut towers or beyond)
Subie Gal 02-25-2003 04:29 PM

good question.
No... for the "PGT" version of this car we did not break through the fire wall. Eventually, if the car ever goes "open" we may add a few bars here and there... (engine bay, roof support)

The strut tops in the engine bay are however, reinforced with a thick sheet of steel that has been welded atop them...

no strut tower bar or additional front bracing at this time.

:)

You need to get a trunk monkey and string him up on the cage in the back...
sirfrankwilliams 02-25-2003 09:22 PM

Your new rally car is so cool!
I've loved wagons since long before there was such a thing as a 'sport wagon'. So I was stoked to see you landed a wagon for PGT. [drool] I say its about time someone showed the world that wagons kick ass, and you're just the person!

(what became of last year's car?)
Pete 97 GS-T 02-25-2003 09:34 PM

That's got more bars in it than Alcatraz!

(back in Chi town area)
he's going to have a BLAST with it i'm sure ;)


thanks for the feedback/compliments guys.

Very nice cage...:) It's amazing how some people work under pressure (my co-driver, fabricator does it too) to make it to race day.

Especially like the door bars, they look very stout.
The blue paint is a nice touch (that wasn't done for Doo Wops 1&2 was it?).;)

Should be some good mud slinging this weekend.:D

The updated entry list looks much better than last weeks'...:rolleyes:

See you Saturday. :disco:
Subie Gal 02-26-2003 04:49 PM

yeah we just got the paint work done...
and a few other 100 things ;)

doo wops 3/4 is looking the bizz....
really looking forward to it :D

see u soon!
Jamie
