yes I do see your point, thats why my company catters for this so we can get these crap 1/4's into good ones and also improve road holding.
also alot of uk people dont realise how important a propper tyre is hence a slower time, they fit there quick fit remoulds as they are cheap so dont matter if they do a burn out, then wonder why they seem to be on ice!

Isnt asking Danny and Rod for pics of the chassis mods a bit like asking coca cola for the ingredients for their soft drinks ?

Did you run these on your old saph danny or was that a different mod ?

Not really, because no one gives a shit what ingredients are in coca cola, people drink it and thats that. If people want to know what ingredients are in their, they can look on the side of the can/bottle.

However people are most interested in mods to cars that actually workaand pics of what they are always help

ok il rephrase, why the fuck should someone else put all the effort in to work this out and make a business out of it and then post pictures up and explain how to do it yourself ? If you dont want to pay for it work out yourself how to do it

its the same as the gearbox man giving you a pictorial guide on how to rebuild your own gearboxes etc etc etc.......

Can see your point totally, but a lot of people know more or less nothing about these sort of mods (i dont just mean like i dont know exactlywhat danny has done or what size components he has used etc, i mean they literally know NOTHING about it) they are likely to at least want to see a blurred pictures showing roughly what it is they are paying for.

Lol i know what yous mean yeah it is dead interesting and its most definitely the way forward id say, too much emphasis on power you just have to look at dannys saph to see the proof.

Maybe if he was to put it in words as im sure if he wanted to show the pics theyd be up by now ??

Pics wouldnt be much use to me, id be interested but my cars are fwd

I see where you're trying to go with your defence of Danny's work, but Danny's customers aren't gonna be the sort of people who could weld/carry out that kind of work anyway (on the whole).

As a rule for this sort of business, you're far better of with the drive in/drive out customer who may have a little knowledge.

Put the pics up and one person might try and copy it, but 50 people will probably drive to Danny and have it done.

Yeah i agree youre right there and it would all depend on what type of pics they were anyway as in detail and i wasnt really thinking along the lines of general customers.

I was thinking more along the lines of when you see a new item/mod/gizmo on the market then youl get other companies soon offering very similar mods.

I think works put me in this frame of mind today, people saying will you take x amount for this item ? 'no will i fuck, i bet you dont try and haggle with the checkout girl at tescos?'

This is a problem as some people do try to copy, although like I said we will post a pic, of the item soon. At the end of the day if a customer wants the job done right with the correct quality material and in the correct positions to get the maximun effect they will come to me anyway.

I have looked into doing a bolt on item but I'm yet to be happy with the design so the effect is as good as the weld in item.

I would prefer a weld on application
Where as i would give the car to you and get it back knowing that it has been done right rather than mess it up myself

Complete without burnt roof lining!! If only we new it was gonna become a weld in cage from day one, would have saved some time.

Glad your happy rod, you feel any more differents to the cars stiffness from the rear hoop supports being incorperated through the parcel shelf and onto the chassis rails?


Rod I now have an Adrenaline customer/potential customer forum so be good if you'd post a little on there about your car if you'd like to. Feel its a good way for new customers to get first hand information about our work.

I already know what the subframe connectors look like since some of the XR4Ti guys here use them, plus they're used a lot on the Mustangs.
Danny, nice job on the roll cage!! Awesome stealthy, when are you coming to NYC to do mine!!

Cage to follow...maybe
