you gotta hand it to them.. they do make some cool thing.. check out this crazy cage they made 3rd gen roll cage

 

that looks awesome but i would guess that most of it is just extra weight. big on the looks, though.

 

That does look really trick.

Bet that TTop car wont squeek anymore.

 

Looks pretty. Too made it's not legal below 12 seconds.

 

You are right, however, I don't think they do alot of drag racing over there

 

Too made? How did I type that?? It should be "Too bad"

 

 

Furthermore, how did I not notice?

lmfao


Ok, my reply is:

Huh? You mean you did not account for safety, only for cornering rigidity? Would it not be beneficial to also make sure it will not get people killed in a crash? Sort of a false sense of security thing?

Translation:ハァッか。中間角を付ける剛性率の安全を、しか説明しなかったか。またそれが人々を衝突で殺されて得ないことを確かめることも有利でないか。種類の事偽の安心感か。

 

no i mean thats what it said as far as i can tell on their site

 

Ok I read the translation twice and not sure If i understand it. they made the cage out of thinwalled tubing? and its ment just to strenthen the chassis? if thats the case then you could easily use thicker walled tuning for the main hoop and a couple other points similar to a 4 or 6 point cage. I think that set up looks awesome and I bet its stregthens the chassis a TON! and it only weights a 100lbs! thats amazing.

 

thats what i thought and ya i guess you could use a thicker wall tybing to help strengthen it as a form of protection

A little off topic. The rear air spliter on that camaro is trick. Can anybody translate cost in greenbacks? I would also assume that you would have to do away with the stock muffler location?

 

YEN to $ is about .0087 yen to the dollar.. i got that from Google search yesterday..


the rear wing is about 548$.. the hood says is $1458

 

Not the wing. The Air splitter underneath the rear of the car. Where the stock muffler goes. How much?

well just take their Yen price... and multiply it by .0087 to give you the price..




*edit*

just noticed that they are not selling that part.. its just the wing they have pictured..

looks like a one off fabrication deal... should be "too hard" to make...

 

Hmmmmm. I knew I should have taken Japanese in high school.

 

Like the cage, the "aerodynamic" features are likely just for looks. Typical.

 

Because it is a Japanese tuner company's purpose built show car it has to appeal to their market.
Rigidity is the stated purpose of that cage. Japanese tuner cars are typically set up for time attack and drifting events, which are pretty much solo. Nascar style cages aren't required.

 

The thing under the bumper is called an air diffuser, it helps aerodynamics and creates a more even stream for the air to flow under the car...they'd be stupid for the street because they are generally made of carbon fiber and who the hell wants to spend 1000+ for something that doesn't do anything but "look cool" on a street car. Seriously, it's for sportscar racing, they probably don't even need it...hell, if they were really into racing would they use 2 coffee can fart pipes for the exhuast on that car? If they were smart they'd run some good flowing headers and some straight pipes or something...possibly a cutout. Car looks cool but then again, it sorta looks stupid. Dig the cage though, nice work, a little much but still the craftsmanship is excellent.

 

I'm diggin on there brembo kit on page 3 pretty neat

 

According to the pics on the site, the car is into drag and road racing.

After making the "heat extractor" hood, I doubt they would build anything just for looks

 

good to see people like domestic cars in japan , I heard they go for like 7 or more grand over there even in just ok shape

 

Fortune cookie, domestics in japan would be like honda or kawasaki. It looks like a decent design, why the tranny tunnel needs all that reinforcement I don't know, unless they were running some kind of shorter torque arm. The fit and finish is awesome.

 

Found they have a vid of the car running

Seemed kinda rickity to me but thats probably because of the carbon hood flapping in the breese

 

You know i bet that they have a similar message board for 3rd gens in japan... They may not be quite as popular there, but lately ive seen more and more 'domestics' modified in japan. I think it would be pretty interesting if we could swap ideas with those guys somehow...

 

May I ask why that cage isnt aloud below 12 seconds without being flamed?

 

The tubing is to thin, its not to NHRA specs

 

O Ok so if you did the same cage with thicker tubing it would be fine.

 

Ya but with the added weight it wouldnt be worth it, the pipes they used were similar in thinkness to exhaust tubing which is fairly light. I bet my 6 point cage weighs more that whole cage. although a "Hybrid" cage similar to theres where you would substitute thicker tubing in areas like the main hoop, side bars and rear bars, and then fill in the rest with the thinner tubing. I would think this would get you past the inspection and have a SUPER stiff car.
