Nice looking. That car has been for sale a long time, first time I've seen it on ebay.

I could do without the rollbar but the rest is pretty sweet :-D

Not a big fan of yellow :mrgreen: But that is a nice car , the repaint is a beauty.

The rollbar is a bit of a pain , the way that it stiffens up the car has got to be felt. A huge improvement.

I have to agree with Frank. When the cage was in #364 everything stayed where it was suppose to be. No flex meant you could count on things being pointed in the right direction. With the cage, coil-overs and slicks, it really made driving it at speed much easier, faster and predictable.

That is some nice paint work, at least from the picts it looks like a lot of careful work went into the paint. The rest of the stuff ain't too shabby either!

I just wonder why put a different interior, is the 96 interior that much better?

Okay ignorance is now speaking....the roll bar = rear stiffness, but what about the front of the car? Don't/ aren't you supposed to tie the front of the chassis to the rear thru the rest of a roll cage? I mean if that stiffens up the rear, then doesn't the front actually suffer/ become worse? or I don't see what I'm not understanding....sorry for my Q.:o

I am no engineer but this is what I think. If the frame is X feet long, then adding the roll bar makes the distance shorter that is not supported by fixed points. Shorter = stiffer. In #364 I had a full roll cage which really stiffened it up. For an experiment, just take off your remove top and feel the difference in flex. I was very supprised at the amount of flex just the top held.

Roll bar is cool no doubt, just prefer it on a car that goes on the track.
It definitely helps with rigidity and body flex and often protects the driver.
It's just alittle bling bling for me - black might have been a better choice.

What did you mean FU when you said you don't like yellow?? :thumbsup:

I see the updated doors/seats, but does it have the old dash?
