haha, i found someone with CF doors. Not sure if they're legal or not.. they were like $1300..

Legal or not, if someone looses it in a corner and comes into my door, I'm going to wish I had steel doors. That extra bar might mean "not crippled."

That is what NASCAR style door bars in the cage are for.

all the weight you lose from CF is put back on with a reinforced cage.

i think for $1300 you could do some engine mods to push more power out of the car.

I need the re-enforced cage anyways.

 

[95b16coupe]

have you considered a 1 piece fiberglass front? i'm not too sure of the rules though.

 

[B16]

That is def not legal

 

[95b16coupe]

yeah, didn't think so. what about those stupid fiberglass z3 finders and hoods?

 

[94civicturbo]

Lol, thats the truf!

Hoods and trunks may be made of composites.

stupid question, but are you able to drive without the targa top on the del sol? i don't know how that works with the roll cage and all. i know that thing weighs about 40lbs.

 

[E_SolSi]

pretty sure he already gutted it and has just the skin welded in place

What E said.. Kinda... The skin is aluminum so it cannot be welded. I have it bolted on though. The skin alone weighs maybe 5lbs?

She's getting dyno tuned tonight. Wish me luck! Hope she doesn't fly apart at 9,000 rpm.
