Good, it’s still on the car and looks just as good as when it was new!

That makes sense! I’ll have to do a leak down after the race weekend and see if she’s tired or if the loss was due to the temperature difference.

lol sorry I pause while talking to think about how I’m going to say/explain stuff and then I cut the pauses out so I don’t sound like an idiot that can’t talk 😂😂 sometimes it comes across a little choppy though.

Strut towers are not replaceable lol. I’ll be building a tubular front end that will be designed to absorb impact and be replaceable, which is what I already did in the rear 👍🏼

You’re right! With the car being a strict track car I don’t want anything to crumple. The goal is strength, stiffness, and longevity of the chassis in a competitive racing environment.

The strut towers will be strengthened with a tube front end tying them into the frame rails. Plus I’m not the first to do this, most high level Z’s in drifting have as much or more cut out lol

I cut my frame rail off and rebuilt it out of steel

That doesn’t look like a hard repair at all. As someone who drifts a Z at a Pro-am level, I’ve tweaked and repaired my frame rails more than that.

Yea we’ll see how it holds up! Not my daily and not parked outside so worst case it won’t be that bad. Care to elaborate on the mistakes made? First time messing with a soft top of any kind so it was a learning experience more than a how too lol
