Roll bar vs. Roll cage.

[smooth]

Looks like he came in a bit hot.
Also looks like he could give 2 shits about your car..

lol.

it's just a car for racing and accidents will happen in racing at the end of the day
important thing was that no one was hurt. I don't think it was apparent how much damage was done until he got out and checked it over and the last second of the video looked like he was getting ready to deliver some pretty shitty news to his son in law. didn't look happy in any case.

I wish I could retrofit those behind the seat pop-ups from the z's on my cabrio.
I've heard that my front windshield bracing is reinforced but I don't want to ever have to put that to the test.

Good luck when you insurace company drops you for having a full cage.

^That's some crazy stuff, happened so quick. What caused the car to kick out like that, or did it just spin on him?

He came into the corner waaay to hot and lost the back end. It doesn't take much like in this video

Hahahah, I'm not trying to. I just don't have any money, so no 24v swap:( Seriously. Not trying to sound like that, its the only swap I could afford.

i saw his car the other night, by the looks of things he's not lieing

At least I do my own swaps, Devon ;) Now buy my chip so I can buy the last of the stuff I need to get her running.

Your father-in-law seems like a real dick.

edit: lying

and as far as a DD with a full cage goes, thats just silly. When you say you are used to being dumb/impractical by driving a car wit no A/C, PS, or heat you describe a large portion of R3v, myself included. But a cage just for shits and giggles or occasional track or drift events is a huge waste of money especially if you cant scrounge up $2500 for a 24v swap, where are the funds for a bar or a cage coming from?

My dad volunteered to help pay for it. He's lost 2 close friends to accidents with powerful cars, he doesn't trust me in one without a cage. I'm not doing it for shits and giggles. I'll be doing a lot of events this coming year.

[ForcedFirebird]

I'll be doing a lot of posting this coming year.

[FunfGan]

Sorry :( I thought the point of a car community was to, you know, participate? Guess not. I guess r3v would be more fun if nobody ever posted.

[Kershaw]

hey hey, dont be emo.

gj, gl, get some.

[SUICIDE109]

A cage would actually be a pretty good investment. Almost lost it a couple of times because of loss of traction(ass end always wants to kick out)

If you can't afford a 24V swap, I can't even fathom how you will afford track events.

Autocross events are cheap as heck, at least the ones I've been doing. As for actual tracking, my dad helps pay for any hpde I do and drift events are usually pretty damn cheap.

Edit: Even if I had the money, I'd do a 302 swap. Just a quicker, easier one than having to wait for money.
