    Wow! Your car is awesome!

    You know, I keep thinking a car like yours minus the rollover at speed cage would make a great, practical global exploration vehicle.

    Not looking for a quote but can you give a rough-stimate of how much the roll cage cost?

    I am just wondering if it was $1000 - $5000 - $10000. Putting a project together on paper and don't know any local cage guys yet.

    That's a nice Subaru with some nice options. However, it also cost $5,000 dollars more than what I paid for my car and then there's the expense of the cage and seats and harness and....

    Although that is a sweet Subie, I'm very happy with my little budget nearly-vintage racer. :1drink

    Ray...still on a rampage.


    He took the car down to Carl's shop, put it on the lift and removed one of those pesky cats! He also changed up the exhaust pipe and now it is high and tight and stainless!! :clap Now the lowest part on the car is the skidplate....as it should be!

    Ray also replaced the transaxle and rear diff oil with some stuff that he swears by. We even used Carl's superity-duperity pump machine to get - it - in!!

    You're car is looking good. :clap Lonnie did a great job on the graphics.

    Now I have a question for you - - - Are you going to be at the D100 racing a motorcycle next weekend or you staying home to wax your car? :hide :lol3

    I hope you'll be at the race since I haven't seen you in a while. :D
