        Hey only one of them was my fault

        So far I've done a few tracky things to it:

        Body mounted short shifter
        IE DSSR
        solid trans and engine mounts
        225/50/16 Avans on 16x8's
        hot air intake
        race wheel
        race seat
        adj. GE rear springs
        Billy sport rear shocks
        crappy front coils
        strut brace


        Waiting to be installed:
        Evo style rear wing
        new front M3 solid CABs
        new sway bar links
        new control arms
        four corner break job
        Stance Coil overs

        Want to purchase in the near future:
        X brace
        new front hubs
        roll bar
        skid plate
        4.10lsd
        chip

        I have some flares too but I think I'm going to avoid them until I actually need anything larger than 225's. I would prefer to do some engine work to it eventually (or a v8 :devil:).

            I gave up on finding one so I'm just having a shop build me a cage for my vert.

                If I had an E30 Cabby I would do a four-point rear and door bars. The door bars would offer a level of impact protection and tie the chassis together if connected to the right place up front. A full cage in a vert is kinda wacky, IMO.

                  Do a custom full cage tied to all 4 strut towers, will stiffen the sponge cabrio body tremendously

                    Love the idea of a half cage with some door bars. Although that Datsun powered vert is one of my favorite builds I just don't feel the need for a full cage for the little autocrossing and light track days l'd like to do. This prob won't happen till over the winter or so I just wanted to see if there were any pre made options available.
