no worries TRK. not hijacking at all. great questions. i was wondering myself.
i have durametric so can probably clear some of the codes that stripping trips.

Jittsl, thanks for answering questions. very informative! i will leave the immobilizer alone it sounds like the ECU needs tweaking in order to bypass it.

Meir, i'll pm you on the door panels.

Joe, firstly call me Laurence or Laurie.

Thought of one more thing regards windows. On the driver side you would be crazy not to use what they call NASCAR bars (I think). These bars extend into the door cavity (where the window currently resides) and almost reach the outer skin of the door. Such an arrangement requires both the window removal and the gutting of the door but may well save you from serious injury. At a recent club race at COTA we had an incident where one SPB T- boned another. Despite the fact the metal work was demolished the NASCAR cage arrangement managed to keep the offending car completely clear of the driver who suffered not so much as a bruise. Having seen the result I wouldn't do it any other way.

I also tow with a open trailer and with my temporary windows in place I do get some water in the car but there is very little left to soak it. Other than sometimes racing with a damp seat I don't have an issue.

Laurie, thanks again.

my GT racing hardtop should be coming in at my cage builder's shop this friday and i'll be there to discuss bar 'options' with him. i haven't talk to him about the door windows yet but chances are he's going to have me remove them as he is very meticulous about safety (as a cage builder should be). will see...

car is back from cage builder (TC Design) :dance:







next step. paint cage and top.

[joe shmoo]

Wait 'till the first time your racing in the rain and water is pouring over the top of your screen and is simultaneously leaving a puddle at your crutch and obscuring your vision.
