Thumbs up Rollcage Conversion Pics

Got my car back a couple weeks ago from Stenod Performance, they converted my 8pt. rollbar into a full cage. There's also some other fabrications they did like radiator relocation and mounting my Griffin Front Mount Intercooler. The main hoop was done by a different chassis guy and was a little lower than typical in these cars, and Joe worked around it very nicely. I could not be happier with the end result, and especially with the amount of care and thought that went into everything they did. The quality is awesome and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I'm definately taking my car back to them for blower ducting and exhaust work when the time comes.

Re: Rollcage Conversion Pics

The link worked for me now. The conversion looks great!!! He did a really nice job working around the low main hoop install.

N20Dave and I just went through installing a conversion on his '95Z. Installing a product around someone else's install can be most frustrating.

Later,


Steve.

Re: Rollcage Conversion Pics

Yes, I totally agree. He tucked it up very close, and even then I can still get my tops out easily.

Re: Rollcage Conversion Pics

That came out very nice. I'm impressed.

How did you mount your Kirkey's? Any chanve you could snap a few pics of the mounting and put them up on your webshots site? I'm having issues about how to mount my Kirkey road race seats. Thanks.

Re: Rollcage Conversion Pics

A/C is long gone, as is most other things on the car. Car is 85% track use now.

Bottom tray was cut out and a new one was fabricated that sits a good 1-1.5" lower. Passenger's side radiator end tank needed to be massaged as well.

The Kirkeys were mounted in a sort of unconventional way because we wanted two positions for the driver's seat. I'll get pics soon.

Re: Rollcage Conversion Pics

Big thrash, I dunno. There's some mini-thrashes in the meantime lol. Wiring up the FAST system is the big one right now, along with pruning the chassis wiring. Arg, what did I get myself into? lol

I cut the entire factory harness out and am having one made. I can't wait to see it. Should be way more simple.
