lol the actual process is:
1. Remove as much as possible with electric scrapper.
2. Use manual hammer and chisel to remove deadening from inbetween grooves and cracks.
3. Heat remains up with torch and use scrapper to remove.
4. soak further remains with paint stripper for 10 mins.
5. use an ass ton of paper towels to pick crap up.

then repeat in next area

i hate this crap.

 

ya i used a torch on my eg... i dont understand how dry ice works.

 

I installed my mirror to my cage. Works great! Need to wash her bad once i finish taking the sound deadening out. sooo messy

 

I want that

 

Looks sick man.next time i'm in TX i'd like to check it out if you're cool with that?

 

sure man! anytime. thanks for the comments!

 

i need to stop in here more often...

2 questions:

do you have upgraded motor mounts? if so which ones?
have you found any stiffer front lower control arm bushings?


killer work here

 

Hey man. I don't have them yet but hardrace makes everything you listed. I will be ordering soon.

 

I removed all the sound deadening from my civic (used the dry ice method and wire wheel)...I also saved every ounce in a bag and weighed it. The grand total was only 28 lbs. This is a high effort, low yield endeavor....especially when you consider that this removes weight from low in the car, raising the roll center.

Do you ace any idea how much the cage weighs? It would be badass to get one made out of titanium...

 

cool... keep me updated...


btw... all your pics are busted...

 

yeah i went over my bandwidth for photobucket. they will be active again on the 29th. fail

 

Just upgrade...only around $15 for a year of unlimited storage and bandwidth. Pretty good deal...especiallly since you're only gonna have more and more pics in this build thread!

 

Fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My buddy took some pics last night at a local Texas-Racing meet. heres some shots. Enjoy

Guys, the time has come to paint the interior because it is all primed now ready for paint. my dad wants to start mixing paint and spray it before the pollen of spring comes.

I need your vote!

1. Matte bronze cage to match my bronze wheels and the rest of the interior oem ssm.
2. Matte bronze entire enterior including cage to match wheels
3. Porshe GT3RS Orange cage, oem ssm interior and repaint my wheels the same GT3RS orange too!
4. the entior interior GT3RS orange and paint the wheels the same.

give me your help!

heres a pic for reference!

 

Everything orange!

 

dang, that cage looks intense =p

 

I loooove #1 option! bronze with ssm is so sweet!

 

#3, bright trim always "pops" on silver. If it was a daily driver, I'd go bronze, but for a racer - go neon!

Do your mirror caps too, for full racer effect. Even the rear-view.

I love it when a team fields multiple cars in the same color and does the mirrors different on each car, so you can pick out your fave driver if the numbers are obscured in the shot.

 

nah... now i have to agree with bungle... go orange!
