Just try to cage me in...

[BrokeAssHachi]

which event is this?

All of the Formula D events. Hahaha... I just figured out what "D" means in Formula D... DEBT!!!
Bwaahahaha!

ahahahahahaha!!! thats a good one.


on the other hand i can see what you mean! fireproof shit is expencive but at the same time, it kicks ass hahaha

[captobvious]

i would assume since the drivers have to have fire suits, gloves, nomex undies, helmets/approved seats/approved harnesses then the passenger's have to have the same.

passengers just have to wear a helmet to ride with the drivers during practice

then why the hell did i spend all this money on fireproof gear?

if you're going to compete, you have to have the gear, but if you just want to do a couple ride alongs on practice laps you don't need it, just a helmet to wear

SWEEEEET!!! I got my brrrfday present from you guys today!!! Since it looks like this thread has turned more into a "Prepping the e46 for Formula D" thread... I figured I'd post up some pics!!!






I can't thank you guys enough for chipping in on these for me! YOU GUYS EFFING RAWK MY FARKING SAWKS OFFF!!!!

Seriously. You guys didn't have to do that, and it REALLY means a lot to me that you did.

I've got the aluminum rear shock tower mounts en-route from Turner Motorsport, so hopefully I'll be able to get all this mayhem into the e46 this weekend!

I'll keep ya'll posted!

Well, the cage gets on a truck back to San Diego tomorrow. We finally have our living room back... but before it was all disasembled and thrown in the WARwagon... I decided to rawk one last photoshoot with an effing BANG!

I had been joking about all the car parts we had being able to assemble a front clip - so that's what I did!




Buaaaaahahahaha... I love being this dorky. It's rad!

So its a drift spec AE-EVO46? Too cool.

[BrokeAssHachi]

hahaha thats what i was just thinking.

[ManjiMan]

i feel bad for the people in the back seat.

Bwaahahaha... YES!!! That's awesome!

Muaahahahaaa... they can rawk the couch if need be, lol. Talk about crew cab!

Well, I got the car back from Robinson Racing, fully caged and ready to go! I never realized how much the body flexed until the cage was in & I thought: hmm... there's no more flex!

Robinson did a bangin' job. There are places you'd be lucky to squeeze a piece of paper between the interior panels and the bar... it's insane! Yes, it was a little more than I wanted to spend... but you really can't put a price tag on safety.







I'll post some more pics up once I get the padding all on there.

[CodyW]

ooh, that's classy! i want one! .

[POOPscandal]

luckky the pictures don't do the fabrication justice. the fitment is just awesome, especially like where it runs between the rearview and the roof hey, at least its not 30,000 like in GT4.
