some feedback please

by the way the box in the background is from my 1:12 monster skyline:naughty:

no offence but those pics are way to small to see anything... looks good on a first look though

i`ll try to get some bigger pics in future.engine bay should be done soon.
planning on full detail.:naughty:
any suggestions eg:roll cage etc?

Roll cage, off course, 2 12" subs, tv, nice rims and something like that.(Just my IMO) :loser:

I like your small picture

all right, here`s the roll cage....

its gonna have a fire extinguisher on one of the bars.

Umm, you kinda messed up the main loop of the cage. It's supposed to have a horizontal bar running through it, and then the diagonal if needed. Intake looks pretty good. Keep us updated.

oh, i copied it from a picture of a mugen one in a magazine of mine.:eek7:
im going to make the subs and tv tomorrow morning i`ll post pics as soon as they are finished.:biggrin: i might put a playstation in it too what do you think? oh and im putting nitrous oxide(Note: NOT nos!:loser: ) in it too.dont worry it will be plumbed in.

Cool. Nitrous Oxide, not NOS. Just brightens my day when people say or type it right.

Plystation would be nice. :naughty:

playstation it is then(1 or 2?).i have never called it nos, its a ricer term:biggrin:

XBOX!, or XBOX and PS2! With a scaled down game of NFSU in the passenger seat!

Hell yeah !!!!

What wrong with NOS? It would the person saying it that would be wrong. NOS is Nitrous Oxide Systems. "NAWS" is the idiotic statement. I would praise N2O over anything.

nos is a brand name.ie if someone says that they are going to put nos in their car it means they are gonna try and fit the whole company in their car:screwy:.if they said nos nitrous oxide then it would be ok cos it would mean they gonna put the nos brand of nitrous in their car.by the way N2O is the scientific name.

p.s. kasso just posted a nice how to on a ps2 so i`ll stat with that today.:naughty:

Not necessarily. There are as many different rollcages out there as there are cars. If you want the strength, you need a diagonal to divide the main hoop (which is basically a big rectangle) into two, smaller, stronger triangles. The horizontal bar is usually nothing more than a place to attach harnasses, unless it ends in the unibody of the car, then it has structural strength. Then it usually has a diagonal or two between it and the top of the main hoop, instead of going all the way to the floor. Someone needs to make a rollcage tutorial.

Looks pretty good. Hard to tell from the small pics though.

i made an x-box but where am i gonna put it??? i would post pics but i doubt you will be able to see anything with my shitty camera:banghead:. i`ll try borrow another camera soon.

eh.....OK. :rolleyes:

Cool start. Bigger and more clear pics will be better.

I'm only basing this off of the car's I've seen and the 8pt that's in my cutlass. But, I've seen many differen't stlyes before, so I guess if it's structural, then it'll work fine.
