With a helmet on in a car with no windows -- no -- the sound doesn't bother me at all - in fact I love it.


There is no exhaust or anything like that on any parts of the car AFT of the dumps... But this car runs 110 octane Race Gas... and burns really clean
I asked because of the heat next to the rear end. While racing, I assume, the exhaust would get very hot and having an additional heat source next to the rear...

When racing -- the car is mostly always in motion - so there's lots of airflow under the car.

I didn't realize this car had a bunch of our stuff on it; no wonder it works so well!
I see our pedal covers, subframe connectors, tower brace kit, our power rack and pinion and the Pro-Pump kit. Looks like it has the early design front lower control arms and strut rods -probably the complete coilover system, right? What shocks does it have in the front?

That's not how it works..... that's not how any of this works....



Just because you asked --- I got off my butt and walked out to the shop and snapped some super duper iPhone pics just for you.



Here's the roll cage and it's layout in case you decide to copy it....or for anyone that wants to copy it.


Note the lack of down bars in the trunk!

Alright, so 1.633 is 41.49mm which is between 1 5/8" and 1 11/16", just so we're clear....

So let's just say, for example, a guy was trying to do something nice for someone and order a helmet and steering wheel hook. They only come in 1 1/2" or 1 3/4", what do you do? The 1 1/2" will fit but the bracket will have a gap...the 1 3/4" will be loose unless the bar is wrapped. I don't have the means to open up the 1 1/2" to fit snug, besides that I don't want to put that much effort into it!

WWWD?
