My cell is in the hatch area as well. It needs to be separate from the passenger area to be track legal.
What if you were to build a sheet metal box around it with a hatch for filling.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
I never quite understood this one depending on the exact installtion. There is a layer of sheetmetal between my cell and the inside of the car except the actual filler which is directly bolted to the sheetmetal. If something is able to pop off the nearly impossible to remove cap, its gonna pop that hatch open.
The outer protective cage one I understand.

Any track updates?
Hey man, it was great to meet you at Carlisle! I was the one that you met up with at the 2GN tent. Got any videos of that nasty J-turn that you did at the end of your first autocross run? People were cheering for that! Looked like something out of a movie.

If it ain't broke, fix it 'till it is!
I like this car! Nice build.
Hey sorry guys been tough at work after carisle. Was fixing some bugs with the car and after a third gear pull snapped an axel right in half. Gonna call dss this weekend and see if they can make me some upgraded ones. Really pushing to get to the track by the end of this month.
I got an in car video of one of my runs. No power steering was really making me struggle haha

Cool video. It does look like you were working pretty hard on that one.
Hah yea I guess I should tighten my harnesses next time haha
Just think, driving that car for a few years without power steering, no one would mess with you..... You will have arms like Popeye. Lol.
It definitely looked like a handful.
Looks like a lot of fun!

That's some impressive breakage. Nice work.
Kinda just glad it broke now. Was starting to think they were gonna old up and would have sucked to break at the track. The dss axels are rated up to 550hp and the srt weighs prob 1k more so it should have less strain
No helmet at auto-x?? That's strange.
Interesting the axles snapped at what looks to be in the center of the sleeve. Makes me think the wall thickness of the sleeve was too thin.

I talked with you at Carlisle this year with Dave and JT late in the day on Saturday (I think) looks good and good luck with the new axles.
Thank you. Axels and a box for the fuel cell is up next. It's driving me nuts not going to the track yet
