All work performed by non-other than:

Bruce Nomura of NOMURA Tuning & Design









IMPORTANT:

The CUSCO rollcage does NOT fit without serious custom work, including cutting, welding & painting.

Enjoy.

Congrats Solo. I know there was a bit of frustration but it pays off in the end.

haha.. wsup guys.:

Bruce is the MAN..!!! Yeah, I will post pics as soon as I get the last peice of the rear seat back on. I must say, it is night & day with this Cusco cage. The chassis is way stiffer and body roll is near minium. Now since the chassis is not flexing as much, the stress is on the Coilovers. Any my HKS Hipermax LS is not cutting it anymore... hahahah

Again, thanks to Nomura Tuning & Design and Jeff for helping out aswell. I wanna see ur MelloYello sometime. OK, post pics later.

I wouldnt know if it passes any NHRA legal issues... search NHRA rules and regulations.

The good thing is the rear seats DO NOT need to be cut at all.. I will post pics soon.
Besides that, it's 1bad A$$ rollcage..!!!!

Damn Solo...that looks great. Bruce is definitely a Toyota/Lexus wizard for sure. Now all you need is IS V300's engine and you've got it made!

BTW, it's time for you to drive south to show us in person okay? jk
