Update 2/16- Ordered an S&W Racecars 8 point roll cage for my car yesterday so I will be able to pass tech at the tracks this up coming season. My good friend @mikEclipse99 is going to be helping me get it done I’ll post more pics as we get to working on it in the next week or so!

While I’m paitienly waiting for my cage to arive here’s a good throwback clip until we start the welding.

Installed the new DSM link firmware update from ECM Tuning on my car for fuel pump priming with the key on works pretty good and should make cold starts even easier.

Thanks man we’ve both been pushing each other to make sure both cars are solid for another summer of racing and street cruising.

Update 3/24-

Last night was a late one in @mikEclipse99 garage but we got some major progress done on my roll cage. Everything is fitting nicely as it should which is making installation going very smoothly here are some pics of what we got done.

 

[mikEclipse99]

Couple more nights like last night and it'll be all done!

 

[goonie90gsx]

We had a busy weekend but here it is we are in the home stretch of my cage build and just need to finish up the door bars at this point. I am pumped at how everything has been fitting the car looks awesome and most importantly is safe! I can’t thank @mikEclipse99 enough for helping me out big time on this I owe him many of beers

Quick update I’ve been busy as heck the last few weeks working 6 day weeks at my job and staying late most nights. But things are very close to being done on my car all that’s left is finishing up the drivers side floor plate and welding in the door bar. @mikEclipse99 has been killing it on the welder every step of the way so I hooked him up with a new Eastwood welding helmet as a gift for knocking this work out so quickly you rule man!!

 

[mikEclipse99]

Appreciate the helmet man! Excited to use it!! I love doing this stuff

Update 4/6-
Alright all I can say is @mikEclipse99 is a badass he finished my cage this week and kept it a secret from me! So tonight we were able to paint it, I chose gun metal to match some other accents on my car. Now all that’s left is get the carpet and interior back in and it’s time to cruise!!

Update 4/7-
My car is done and back at home, all I can say is damn am I ready for this race season!! And a huge shout out to @mikEclipse99 for being an absolute beast helping me out getting this project done.
