Not sure how much. Haven't seen them for e9x. Would consider cutting out door metal on inside so bars can bow out all the way to door skins. Gives greater room and more distance for protection if a car gets into your door.

Looks cool too. Rains too much here for me to transport without glass.

Thanks! Depends on your application and if you are running a wing. For track only with a 61-67" wing, I would recommend the GT4 splitter and canards like I'm running.

Update: deleted HVAC, driver/passenger windows, installed H&R front and rear sway bars and adjustable rear sway toe links.

Thanks!, I'm having temporary plexiglass inserts made for transport to keep the rain and bugs out.

HVAC delete, glass delete, removal of remaining insulation, interior painting and fabrication of center console panels were done by Memo and John at Denali Motorsports in Porter, Texas.

A few more pics!

AriuSen · 11-10-2015, 11:22 AM

do you have an aftermarket rear endlink for the sway bar?

No, I reused the factory links. I would like to install a pair of front/rear adjustable end links. Here are some pics of the installation of the rear sways.

No, I also used the MS aluminum seat adapters which has 3 rows of threaded holes to fit different size seats/side mounts.

ahh ok. im having spacing issues when trying to install MS side mounts with recaro sliders. Looks like i need some spacers between the seat and side mount to make it work.

Good stuff, love the build.

jolette · 11-20-2015, 03:02 PM

Hey man, I am astonished by what I am seeing here, I feel like I am looking at my own car. We have almost an Identical build going on. When I was reading your parts list i felt like I was reading my own. Here are a few shot of mine. I too had a four point roll bar but am now doing a full 8pt with x bars.

WaylonM3 · 11-20-2015, 05:04 PM

Love the build sir. I'm currently working on my build and this is definitely inspiration. I will definitely reach out to you for assistance if you don't mind because this build is fantastic.

Yes, very similar build and I'll be doing a full cage also soon. Nice pics! Thanks for sharing and good luck with yours.
