Cage is in...

[MadStang]

Finally got my cage in and sorted out. I'm going to make some custom aluminum panels for the RSD and 1/4 panels as the stock plastic is just too thick to fit.

Started off with a flat black MM 4-Point Roll Bar

Sent it to ElectroTech Powder Coating to get PC'd to match my paint.

And Finally welded in place. Couldn't do a solid bead weld due to it wanting to burn through, but still will hold up just as strong.

I was expecting to see that little box that we put you in when its time for bed.


Ha, its sick. Is this a street car or is it also a mostly track car. Either way that johnny should stiffen er up pretty well

Thanks and nice! I got the cage for a steal, total of $150 + another $150 for the powder coat. My goal is to use the 4 point as my base for a full cage with door bars, etc.

oh well I can go take a picture of that too if you like. I thought that was a secret though....... haha

It's somewhere in between right now. As of this moment it's working as DD service, but, as soon as the 13.5:1 Teksid goes in, it's being relieved of DD duty and I'm buying a 98 GT.

Nice man. Yea I donut I'll add anything to mine being that it's a street car and I'll never build it fast enough to need a 10 point cage.

for NASA time trials, the cage I have is sufficient BUT, that being said I'd like to have a little bit of reassurance and by adding the NASCAR style door bars I'll have just that.

holy mother of compression lol

holy mother of compression lol

lol would have gone higher but that would have cause timing chain slop issues. 13-14:1 for e85 is cake. I wanted 15:1 lol.

 

[g36 monkey]

o yea you e85 guys. I dont even know where a station is.

 

[MadStang]

o yea you e85 guys. I dont even know where a station is.

you have two known pumps near Orlando. They're in Ocoee. Ones a Citgo the other is called "Turkey Lake Service Plaza"

Yeah there's an e85 iPhone app lmao.

 

[g36 monkey]

ocoee is about 30 miles from me lol. The gas station is about a mile. I dont even know where turkey lake service plaza is. Probably off the interstate, which means their price is about 30 cent higher than anywhere else. We had a service plaza gas station that averaged a dollar over price on gas haha.

Okahumpka was its name.

Roush's selling pitch for those cars was "Roush: Somewhere between a race car and a road car".

Bridging the gap between road and track, ROUSH Performance is in a unique position to seamlessly blend Roush's legendary racing successes with the formidable OEM engineering and manufacturing skills of ROUSH Industries.......ROUSH Performance is the first specialty-vehicle company to combine race-proven technologies with advanced automotive engineering. The result, a unique mix of street car and race car...Is a ROUSH car. Or more specifically, a ROUSH Mustang.

[/SIZE]

LOL, yup my brochure and window sticker that came with the car say:

"Somewhere between a Race car....
and a Road Car....
Is a ROUSH Car."

personally they could have came up with something a little less corny but oh well LOL

 

[LilRoush]

It was the 90's... it was all they had. LOL

 

[MadStang]

It was the 90's... it was all they had. LOL
