Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Where do you intend on passing tech with that?

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

cages are supposed to be safer, not more dangerous :X

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

and what would be so dangerous.. doesent matter how ugly welds are just that they penitrate..

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

give me one reason it wouldnt pass tech?

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

its not NHRA Certified :P

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Cause your a dirty ------. What makes that car need a rollbar? brownie points on HT or it makes your car look fast? :X

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

ETs < 11.499

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Yeah and...If he's using a HF welder to install his bar... I doubt that his setup is far behind his priorities.

"""Cause your a dirty ------. What makes that car need a rollbar? brownie points on HT or it makes your car look fast? :X"""


because my car already ran 11.433 with stock suspension no lsd and low boost.. ass..

reason im puttin it in myself is that the closest shop that does them is 4 hours away and he said he wouldnt get to it for about 3 months...



whats so wrong about that weld?? good penitration just ugly but who cares...

I don't give a flying ---- what your car runs. Did I ------- ask you...no so shut your AIDS infected dick lips. I OWN YOU! What a cage has to deal with Forced induction is beyond me also. :S

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

did you read the ruel book first? that cage seems too "loose" to pass tech.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

drop the wire speed up the amps, one or the other you're just birdshiiting the wire on there

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

acually it looks a little better in those pics.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

It will pass

Here is a car that was in my garage a while back. (I did NOT do the welding)

Good for 8.50's or slower

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

yeah, I couldn't understand what the ---- was going on in the first pics.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Hit the ditch homo. His setup is faster than anything you'll ever have.


I like it, HF flux to the max.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

looks good to me

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Ummm I don't live by any ditches nor would my wife allow me to hit it. Go choke your mom for me for not sticking the coat hanger a little bit further up. Get in where you fit in ------ and stick to your own ----. You weren't a part of this bashing.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Looks good bro , and good luck with the car.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

looks decent, but personally id invest in a 40 dollar gas b ottle and 30 dollar flow meter. My life is a little more important, but then again, who plans on crashing?

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

What the ---- is your deal? Whats you setup? TALK ---- when your ---- goes fast enough to need a roll cage, but until then SHUT THE ---- UP! :-X
Nice build by the way. :6

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Werd.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Ive seen prettier but that should work.It only needs to work once anyways :l

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Paint it Pink :6

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

That main hoop has a lot of slop around it. :l

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

id feel more safe with my bolt in safety21 cage. :-\

that looks really shitty dude. better than I could do, but nothing I would post pictures of. If you feel you did a good job, more power to you.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

last time i looked in a nhra rule book Im sure it stated either tig welded or mig weld with a shielding gas no flux core action.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

die grinder with sanding pad with primer and paint will make it loook liek a gas mig.. :) no im not grinding the WELDSSS just taking off the spatter

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

porn :)

local girl she lives about 30 mins from me.. met her once, stared at her tits atleast 2 mins before i said a word to her:)

now shes in playboy she looks alot diff in real life though

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Well, the book makes is up in the air. It says:

"mild steel welding must be done by approved MIG wire feed or approved TIG heliarc process.Welding must be free of slag and porosity. Any grinding of welds prohibited."


MIG wirefeed? Is there any other non-wirefeed MIG process? I think they may use that term to simply imply wirefeed welding.

A guy I chip ecus for is a NHRA tech inspector, I'll ask him.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

how the ---- do you sit? do you have no legs or something?

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

The second set of pics look better. It still looks loose in the car. The welds look good for flux core. Though 90 amps on a cage from a chinese welder doesn't spell penetration. I think it will pass though.

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

i hope your able to pass the tech inspection for your cage. i am all for DIY projects but dude, that statement right there is almost an oxymoron. Shitty ugly welds do not mean you still have good penetration. more likely than not your penetration is sporadic, some to hot, some too cold, you most likely have tons of contamination (weak) and numerous pinholes (weak).

best of luck

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

well when i tested it on the bars u can see the welds coming through the other side i welded my name on a bar and u can see the name indented on the inside of the bar so i know its penitrating

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

I dunno man, Id honestly just rip it out.

First off the welds ARENT penetrating, unless youre using exhaust tubing, 90amps with those bubbled up welds isnt doing ----. You can tell they arent penetrating just by looking at the shape of it, it doesnt sink into the middle, it was just built ontop of it

THEN

Then design......

Look at all that space man, to the C-pillar, to the roof, were you really in that much of a hurry? On your main hoop, why the ---- did you bend it back in towards the center of the car at the bottom?

Youve already spent 10K+ on that car this year, another $200 in tubing isnt ----

Honestly think about it, Im usually all about ------ rigged ---- done "right", but not stuff like this, built like this, with a welder like that

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

how the ---- do you sit in the mother ------- car without tubes going through your hips

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

He probably hasnt put the seats back in yet, or thought about where the door bars are gonna be, those are gonna be a wor of art lol

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

Nice save. This thread sux.. and not to talk ----, but that cage lookls like ass as far as the welds go. have you read the rules?? do the bars come within 6" of your head.. do the doorbars intersect your upper arm???? Those are the least of your worries... I dont understand why some are getting pissed. That cage (thus far) would NOT pass tech here.. By a longshot.

Its your ass though. I hope youre OK the time you DO need it, but hope you never do.


Whatever,

---- it... Aint my car... DO NOT GRIND THE WEELDS like I told you on HT...



I HIGHLY suggest reading the specs for tech (NHRA cert).

Re: cage 50 % done woot paint next
 

The NHRA rulebook is very clear on no fluxcore. MIG is an acronym, I suggest you look it up. As for the cage passing tech? I could get painted PVC through some tracks, but the gap around the hoop is going to draw attention and you won't pass where a properly clearanced fluxcore cage with a little paint would sail through tech.
