Thanks man

FYI, when I priced my install it did not include gutting the car, you need to do that yourself ( seats, carpet, console, side panels, headliner all need to be removed). You need to discuss what is in the price such as if you want swing outs and seat belt mounts installed too. Also you probably need to paint it yourself. I used Eastwood sandless primer on the cage, works geat!

A freind and I installed my bar. It's allot of work, the floor plates are a project to get installed, and even with the bars being prenotched we still had to renotch some ends and cut the bars down. It seems like a fairly easy job for the money they charge, but once you see all the stuff you need to go through you'll understand. Trying to get a bead of weld in those tight areas is a total PAIN!

Well is it like SFCs, where I could install it and then bring it to a shop to weld it in?

Yeah. When we did my brother's 8pt we had to do some additional grinding and notching to get the gaps close enough, and then welding on the underside of some of the joints proved to be a huge PITA.

But I could do an install myself correct? Bolt in means bolt in 100%?

Are we sure its 13.49 for verts? I was running 13.3/13.2 in my 3rd gen vert at Atco & Englishtown last year and nobody gave me any problems.

Positive, but that doesn't mean it gets enforced. Whether or not the state police are there plays a big factor in the vert rule. It's also easily overlooked so they might just not have noticed it was a vert running those times.

yeah i heard they have to make exceptions for some verts...like vipers, terminators, vettes and fbodies because some of them run lower than the 13.5 stock.




they just dont want 13 second miatas showing up and trashing itself

The only true exception is if a car is completely factory stock and runs lower than 13.5. then it is allowed to go down to 11.5.

However, factory means factory, including tires, air cleaner, etc.

is a T tops car considered/ viewed as a convertible or hardtop?

my guess is hardtop as you still retain a rear piller ( B or C depending on view)

Tru2Chevy 06-03-2009 10:45 PM

T-tops are treated as a hard top.
