Talking Cocoa's Roll Cage (pics)

I started a new thread because my cage was not done at Brinks Race Craft. This was done over at Automotive Improvements. I felt there was a need for a new thread so that members would not have to read/go through 5 pages of me blabbing with no pics and making changes. Here you go fellas.

Now that it's back, I can hand it over to someone else to do my head gaskets. I really dont want to knowing I have a 30+ hour project coming in the mail this week.

Chris, and my SoCal friends, please don't say anything about what I have in storage for everyone. You guys are very aware of the hurdles I have to overcome just to make it work, IF I can make it work. So not knowing on my end, makes me not want to get anyone's hopes up. Thanks fellas.

It's all going to be tossed out this weekend. I'm retiring the bottle as I won't need it anymore.



(The bottle will NOT be for sale fellas)



As for the other exhaust I have, I won't put it on untill I can work out my current project. But I am taking off that Apexi N1 muffler for a member on the boards. And honestly, if I don't like the way the HKS Carbon TI sounds, I'm going back to an Apexi N1, but 3".

I'll be heading your way around the 18th of August. I'll be stopping by in San Diego for 2 days, and 1 day in Malibu. So I should be free for about 2 days to hang out with everyone.

Looks sick Chris, totally different car than when I saw it in Dallas. Cage is intense your car looks SO mean with the cage, the paing, the flares and the rims, can't wait to see the thing I can't talk about

You know, I got this idea for my hood. I have this shirt I like with a skull and two bones x'ing eachother out like what you would see on a pirate flag. I want that on my hood! For whatever reason, I was in my garage and thought, hell yea! So I actually might go through with it...Only thing getting in my way now is time, as I don't have any spare time right now to deal with that. I have a lot to do before that late Sept meet.

Well since the surprise ain't much of one, here it is. Thinjim's turbo kit I bought. Finally arrived today. Don't get too excited fellas, it DOES NOT FIT. We were both aware of it, but I bought it to do my own modifications to make it fit if possible. The reason why I wanted his kit more than anything, is because those that attempted to replicate his kit only put down power in the 3xx's. His kit put down 464whp with his 3.2L with a moderate tune. If, and only IF I can make this happen, I plan on pushing this kit to the max just for bragging rights and then detune it to 320whp for the tracks.
