Lovin the Farmer's tan!!! J/K Looks damn good so far!!!!

 

I agree... I'm hoping to get to spend some serious time on my car right after I get home from college.

Also, do you plan on putting the seats back in after you get the roll cage put in?

 

haha thats a drivers tan from hanging my arms out the window lol. No the seats wont be goin back in, Im sick of taxiing people around

 

And this is your Daily Driver? Do you plan on wearing a helmet at all times when you drive? The reason I ask is because its a VERY bad idea to have a roll cage in your DD. Roll cages are designed to so that if you head slams into it with a helmet on you will be O.K. But even with padding on your cage if you head smacks into it in an accident your gonna get hurt.

This is a really good little post about why its a bad idea. HERE

Just think about it before you put one in.

 

not to sound rude but whats the point of the bypassing of the TB, i never seen this or heard of it before??Does it help something out??? thanks

 

Its not a full roll cage I guess its a roll bar with a harness bar. like this

All the tubing will be at least a foot behind my seat and I figure If I fly far enough out of my seat while wearing a seat belt or harness ot hit that tubing then Im pretty much screwed anyways.

The throttle body doesnt need to be cooled so running the coolant through it jsut heats it up when the motor is at running temperature therefore increasing your intake temps. Google it you'll find stuff, even a dyno somewhere.

 

^^^
You stop the coolant from going through the TB by bypassing it. I do it to mine ever summer than fliip it back every winter. I dont know if it helps, but I figure why not. It take like five minutes to do. LOL

 

After reading that post maybe Ill just opt for a C-Pillar or maybe one of thsoe zig zag bars or Miracle X bars. I dont know we'll see. I mainly wanted it to improve handling not for safety

 

Oh, cool. Just make sure that your head is not gonna smack into it. I use to pick up dead bodies for the city. We would get called out to accidents, murders, fires, ho****e, etc. And trust me, brain outside the skull are very ugly and hard to pick up.

Just stay safe and use common sense. LOL
