Done properly, structural welds will should be about at least as strong as the metal they’re connecting.

Part of the issue is that a unibody car like a Civic derives most of it’s integrity from the unibody. Cutting away body panels destroys the strength of the vehicle. You would need a very well designed and built cage to make up for that. This cage is neither of those things.

Dive into Turn 1/2 or T7 CCW and hang it out wide, then tell me there aren’t any jumps.

This is not an attack on you, but the ‘unique’ argument doesn’t hold water for me when I can go faster with cheaper and easier options.

Motorcycle guys throw around ‘brother’ a lot from what I’ve seen. It’s kinda weird.

Even a fox mustang weighs more than 2600lbs.

Tin Cup, aka, Bull Durham on the links.

Fuck pop ups. My 98 is sitting around with the lights up because the damn control module has shit the bed and they’re $300+ to replace. If the controller doesn’t get you, the plastic gears will.

You have to break them down further. Just going by looks, here’s my list.

Those Steeda Tri-ax shifters are pretty awesome though. The stock mustang stick is a wobbly mess. Short throws are a secondary benefit to getting something to feel positive engagement in a mustang.

Which also doesn’t make sense because the engine was bleh. Stock 70s era 302 with zero good stuff on it.

Happened to me this weekend. I sold this truck about 3 years ago for $4500 and the dude drove it 50 miles home. I’d been commuting in it for a year. It was fine; not great or even well done, but fine.

There used to be a commenter here called FordTempoFanatic or something. DOn’t know why I remember that, but I imagine FTF is pretty upset with this thread.

This guy wedges.

Can confirm. I’ve run out of talent before and bought a concrete barricade. Scary day, but educational.

And all I want is for my existing visors to slide out on the arms and cover the entire width of the fucking door window. Shit’s sake, GM, you’re only blocking half the glass.

I care not for your estimation of my douche-iness while in pursuit of dreams.

We had a corvette nut neighbor when I was a pup. His white 66 vert did me in. 400-ish ci small block, side pipes, knock-off hubcaps, 4 speed. My windows vibrated when he fired it up across the street. As far back as I remember, probably age 6, I recall standing on the couch to watch it drive down the street. I finally…

There’s a fella that put a 68 or 69 chevelle on a Cup car and it is fuckin amazeballs. Can’t recall the site that had his build posted though.

You mean to tell me I don’t have to get a new car every three years?!
