                    Impressive project.

                    "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

                        Just got it back from the cage builder today. Came out fantastic. The chasis is incredibly stiff now. Just got to do some body work and what not, and get it ready for some paint!
                        Full cage pics.

                        Best shot I have of the Style 44's. I just don't have the room to take a bigger picture, or a wide enough lens.

                            Such a bad ass weekend racer, the cage looks really well constructed. What color are you tossing around for the e30?

                            Those are some bad ass recaro's btw

                                    We're considering the Electric Red. It's not quite Henna, but a bit more orange than Helrot.
                                    It came on the E39's I believe, and the new E90's.

                                        It's a sleeve, and they do this so they can fit the cage in first with tack welds, then lower the cage down, and weld the top sections of the main hoop. Otherwise the top sections are too close to the roof, and they can't get the welding torch in to reach all the way around the tube.

                                        Some people do it by cutting the floor pan of the car and dropping the entire cage through the floor, then welding in new floor plates once they're done. My guy elected to use sleeves.

                                                    Thanks for the close-up pic of the wheels. Do you get any wheel rub?
