Just saw the video...she really sounds MEAN. Sorry to hear about the water issue. Hopefully it works out to be a simplier solution.
All the bumps will make this team tougher and ready for 09'

I'll start off with saying, that's one nice looking build!
I don't know much about drag-racing cage construction rules, but if you can spare the extra weight, you might consider adding a bar to beef up the middle part of the cage. The way the cage looks now, I'd suspect in a roll-over, the top of the cage would deform too easily. You've got good triangulation up to the harness bar, but from your pics, I can't see any triangulation going on above that (i.e. where your important bits are hanging out...your head & neck). If your rearward bars were straight back to the strut towers, you could add a triangulation in that plane, but it looks like they bend before heading down to the rear floor pan. Based on that, I'd think your best bet is probably to add a bar going from the bottom passenger side to the top drivers side in the vertical plane right behind your seat.

Yo Brian whats up man, I was at AWD on wednesday, the car looks awesome in person. When I saw it I was like "Holy $hit whos car is this"; I also heard it start up. Im pretty sure the whole neighborhood woke up when it did. I'll be back next week for a retune, I hope the car is still there so i can check it out again.
