Not BRZ related but I sold my M3 so now the V8 E46 is looking more tempting.

Got some time to finish mocking up the passenger side exhaust manifold.

I'm slightly aroused by seeing your work. Take this as you will.

Agreed. I'm slightly confused by how I feel about it.

Thanks, I'm actually doing a full roll cage for a buddy and I keep telling myself to not sweat the details so much its going to take forever to finish.

I don't know if he is on here. I'm building the cage so he can use it at just about any venue he can sign up for. Spec86, NASA Rally, Hill climb, Ice racing, this guy does it all.

I just wanted to say I'm really impressed with your work. Love the rear seat brace. It's given me a good idea. I will probably try to do it on my own. (although i'm sure it won't come as pretty as the one you have).

Do you have any guesses as to what the weight of the cage will be? I'm venturing to guess the rest of the car will be stripped. I'm just wondering what the end weight difference will be.

I will know the exact weight, the car went on the scales prior to starting. I know my roll bar weighs 50 lbs or so.
