so, heres the caravan, first time towing my s12 with my truck and not my moms. i was worried about all the rust, but it held up fine.



i was outside auto expectations and i noticed a half ass roll bar/harness bar for a s13 coupe that was never finished or used, asked about it, got it for 50 bux, need a bar that gioes across, some more hammering, etc.


it actually fits perfectly tensioned in if i take a rachet strap and pull the two tubs together in the front, allows clearence. then when i take the strap off its locked in. its not getting welded in until i get more money and tubing for the harness. just a temp harness bar before i get cash for a cage

you're going to be bolting that in or taking it out until you get it welded right? Also, assume you'll be putting in a cross bar higher up for the harnesses before using it right?

ah ok, cool. Sorry, the way I read your post earlier was that it was held in by tension and might be used that way for awhile. Anyway, car is really coming along nicely.

broke my diff! ran a 8.525 at 10 psi at old dominion 1/8th mile, shortly after the spider gears exploded during a burnout



now while im down there, might as well convert to s110 disk brakes






cleaned up some of the rats nest, still looks kinda bad but you wont notice once the dash is in, its actually very simplized. hooked up some of my gauges, most important, aem afr. w/e it looks good enough for me. some day off im gonna paint the floor too.







its very cool knowing which wires are which since technically my stock chassis harness is gone.

the diagonal bar would probably go from the pipe behind your head to the passenger rear corner. I think, I am no expert on cages though.
