    Good work,
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    Such an awesome project you have there. I hope you don't mind but these two images came up on my facebook about a rwd nova being built for autograss.
    I think it looks superb.

    Those arches actually look similar size and position on the car as to what I need. I wouldn't have mind coming out straight like that tho but good to see something similar, thanks!

    So progress this weekend on the rear half of the cage. Need to build in the rear strut tops next. I'll let the pics do the talking...

    Feeling motivated I got in a few more hours tonight as I had a free evening!


    Tonights topic was turret tops! Talking about the rears first, as you probably noticed in my pics in the previous post the std s14 shocks will sit very high, too high! I need them around 5" lower. Quick chat with Driftworks today and they confirmed that the earlier s13 shocks are 110mm shorter and they can happily do me a set of the s13 coilovers but with s14 top mounts. Perfect! Here's a shot of where they'll be for comparison....







    I then did a lot of staring at the rear end and believe I now have a plan of attack on how to tie in the rear shocks but need to get some more tubing first!


    So that brings us on to the front turret tops. In a recent visit to the good chaps James & Ash at Relentless Performance where I picked up some more tubing they were also kind enough to bend me some pipe to 110deg which my bender can't do! This will be used to remake the turrets, I'll let the pics do the talking from here...











    I won't lie, it was a pig to do with so much cut, tweak, check, tweak, check, cut, tweak, you get the idea. Its only tacked in but already much stronger than the other side and doesn't move at all. Need to make the plate for the top to tag it into the actual turret next.


    Thats all for now, thanks for looking.
