What I meant was a fixed - back racing seat, but I forgot you bought some Evo seats.👍
Looking forward to watching the rest of your build.

Just curious how much weight do you think has been removed with all your mods ?

Well I also got the few more tricks havevnt posted yet. The bar does add weight so I'd say 200-250.

Neat build. I'm subscribing as I'd like to see the finished project. SCCA or IMSA club racing?

Not for any sanctioning body but bar is built to spec. Just a fun track day car. I live 20 minutes from Pittsburgh international raceway.

What spec are you building the cage to? I am concerned about the rear brace bars going to a cross bar instead of into a pillar box. Always exciting to see a cage going in none the less.

Scca solo® roll bar standards
a. Basic design considerations but it's more of a harness bar not a full cage.

Dude, the water jet emblems came out cool as hell. Since I'm an aircraft mechanic, I think it would good just to have them riveted in place and maybe paint that portion black. Great build!
