Whoa.. peel back the skin and its ragged wreck.

Looks good from the outside.

It also appears that they removed the good shocks from the rear before the Ebay sale.

Good start for somebody.

I dont think I have seen that much square tube in quite some time.

They also went a little nuts on the cage inside the cabin...

You like the camo look with all the black painted areas. I wonder where they got the green ducktape for the front valence.

For a race car, it has a significant LACK of instrumentation. First thing to install is one big ass oil light. Even most self-respecting street cars have oil temp and pressure gauges...geez.

I don't know why they even bothered to keep those doors hinged. You gotta climb over the cage anyway...

Hum... you wouldnt like my race car..LOL

Oil temp and pressure
Alt light
Oil light

I gave up on gauges.. By the time I see something happening.. its too late.

I havent met a person yet.. who has saved a engine because the light came on.. its normally too late..LOL

No problem with that, Brad. You 've got the essentials. You're right about the oil light, but hell, go big for that sense of security. Use the space created when you ditch the gauge you don't really need---the speedo.

Maybe the big ass light should be the alternator light...so that you can do something about that fan belt lunching itself before you overheat. Just a thought.

Now your really going to hate me..

I like to run a speedo. I can quickly glance down and get and idea of entry speed into and out of a turn. I like to use the 120 speedo because it has the smaller increments. I dont do this during a race.. but during practice sessions and open track days....

Its much easier in something with a digital speedo.

I recently bought gauges for the new race car:

-oil temp (small)
-oil pressure (small)
-oil light (the beam style)
-alt light (the beam style)
-tack with shift light/beam style ..(to better educate myself on downshifts.. not upshifting)

I've got mine rewired so that the big stock parking brake light is now the oil light.

Cheap (free) upgrade for a false sence of security.

It seems like a cage like that would make you feel invincible in traffic.

If yo bust an alternator belt in a stock 4 banger, it woulod just wear out the battery right? It wouldnt overheat because the fan is attached to the crank...??? I should know this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

That's right, Chris.

Heh, it would be funny to buy this and then stick a 1.7 (or 1.8?) with a single-carb setup into it. Then show up at all the local track days.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)

I like the green car's front air vent. It's one of those vent things in your house for the heater/ac/fan.
