Why can't I tie the roll cage into the uni-body above the floor? Only 6 of the 8 points allowed are near the floor. The other 2 are open. I will be tying into the firewall were the factory strut-to-firewall braces mount. This way I have a load path from the strut towers to the roll cage.

My car will be a bit on the light side so adding a few extra tubes isn't a problem. Since non-required tubes can be any size I can use a smaller diameter piece of tubing for the windshield diagonal. This way I get some added cage stiffness without as big a weight penalty.

You were a jerk to me? If so I don't recall when.
