^ Those Stradia Reps? (Or real Stradias, but something tells me you probably didn't drop 3k on seats.)

If so, hows the fitment around the door?

I'm sure if it doesn't bother people, it's no big deal, just a thought.

Aside from the problem of the mold itself, it is extremely hard to shape clear material without showing inconsistencies. Since it is clear and also reflective, your eye will pick up all the imperfections.

Lol it would be much easier to deal with the little holes haha.

Rules:



Picked up some minty amber HKS gauges from Adam@feastauto

But I needed a pressure pot to force the air bubbles out. So I'll be constructing that tomorrow out of 2' x 6" PVC, 6" end cap, 6" clean out and an air fitting with a regulator. I look forward to the results.

I'd love to see how that's made.

anyone have a good suggestion for foam/rubber tube to wrap cage?

ive tried 2 different types so far but still unsatisfied. looking for squishy and pretty bendable but not super thick. also open to other options like cloth tape or something.

[Super_OK_S13]

so i work at the home depot and theres insulation for copper pipe that is nice and foamy, squishey, softness. then just wrap eletrical tape around it. check your local lowes/home depot/plumbing supply house.

[icedsole]

ive already tried 2 types from lowes, not up to SPEC !

[Super_OK_S13]

try a bicycle shop for the nut bar/handle bar pad.

i assume you dont want the stuff made like the pool noodles right? and you tried the stuff that is soo soft it wont stand up

[icedsole]

im using a pool noodle ish material right now, but its probably a CM thick.
but since its kind of stiff it doesnt bend to well for the cage halos and shiz.

kind of just looking for personal experience and pictures of stuff others have tried.

[icedsole]

leather wrapped, NUTS. this is too fancy for my mid 90's drift car though :/

im looking for something like this, i always see jdm cars with this nice rubber ish wrap

[kyles1988]

wonder if it's the wrap cusco sells

[slowvia]

That reminds me of that Ferrari powered Rambler wagon that won the Ridler, it had leather wrapped cage and suspension arms! Not to mention a freakin FERRARI V8!

+1, I was going to say... CUSCO. Check out pics of BH's S14, I think he had all of the genuine Cusco padding in there if I am not mistaken.

[icedsole]

already ordered.... lol

thanks kyle

[tricky_ab]

That was quick HAHA!

[Brian]

The real question is...

What color did you order?

I had blue in the S14 and I had some black in the S13.
They have a ton of colors though.

Did you order the CUSCO tape that goes with it?

[usdm180sx]

It's gotta be CUSCO tape otherwise the cage will collapse

[icedsole]

its only in my cart haha

brian not sure, just saw that they have a bunch of colors! probably keep it
classy with blue black white or grey.

[K_style]

I wrap mine with Lowes pipe wrap thing... and zip tied...

works ok..

AA/113-40 OMP ROLL CAGE RUBBER SLEEVE 2m ROLL 40mm FIA | eBay

This or something similar is what you're probably looking for. I think you'd want the 50mm version if you're using the thick pool noodle type padding, though don't quote me on that.

[icedsole]

na man, if it aint cusco it aint right.

[atom]

LOL cusco sells the same type of rubber sleeve, I just don't have a link to it.

[azsr20det]

anyone know where to get the cusco shit in RED?
or am i going to have to get another color and red suede wrap it.


or bapetape


mad jdm yo
hard as shit to find though

[codyace]

I know with NASA/SCCA, you need to insure that the wrap is legitmate and approved stuff, not just pool noodle crap. I know the safety rules for drifting are suspect at best, but I'd make sure of their requirements first.


Mine is similar to this:

I've edited my post for those that compete. Why even wrap it for the street? The kids in the parking lots could care less...may as well buy fuzzy cloth.

[icedsole]
