Through-the-floor SFC install

96GTS · 03-16-2005, 09:42 PM

Got started on it today and got the main connectors in. Haven't welded them completely, just enough to get me to work.

Not pretty, but hey, it works

And nobody will ever see it.

Tomorrow, we'll cut the channels for the front and rear frame to rocker panel connectors

So now, 6 out of the 8 points on my cage will be tied directly to the frame and not some skimpy 4"x4" plate on sheetmetal...

Also picked up some 2" channel stock that I will cut and fab up some seat mounting braces.

Just on the short drive, the car is noticably stiffer:super:

BIG BIG thanks to Ralph @ RS MUFFLER in Downey for letting me use his lift for like 6 hours today and for doing the welding tomorrow...:beerchug:

Nice...we did the same style on the Evolution SVO.......No more chance of your car returning to Stock configuration now

Yeah...but as it sits now, it would cost so much to buy all the stock parts again, I wouldnt make any money. If I did have to sell her, it would be sold as a race car platform...

Off topic....I went to pick up some Corbeau FX1s...but the shoulder "wings" were too wide and I wouldnt be able to fit the side bar on the cage....I need to find another seat
