Hopen to improve rear down force, but know there is going to be trade off with increased drag, so am going to start working on increased HP first, and want to also fit an air dam/splitter to front which I'm going to have a go at making my self. Do you have any comments on down force over drag??

Hey everyone, got the car to Wakefield Park Supersprint last weekend and managed another PB if only by .22 of a second, now at 1:13:25 and will be trying to get into the 12's next event. Toyo's are 2 years old now and even thought they still have life left in them I imagine they are quite a...

Hi everyone, have been reading back over the posts and have to thank everyone for their comments, sorry if I didnt post individual thanks and comments to every post, but I appreciate all the support for the car

Hi Loz and all, thanks that was taken in 1080p25 which is 140 deg camera angle, 720p60 is 90 deg and lower resolution, have just got back from weekend away at Wakefield Park raceway where I had a ball posted a new PB of 1:13:52 so pleased with the effort, have vidoe of my 4 runs but Photo...

Thanks TN n Loz, you've given me some food for thought there.

Thanks for the idea, but everyone paints their cages black to hide the poor quality welds and joins envolved, seriouslyI want to show it off, have already had 3 requests to do cages for other guys

Hi Puntopimp This is my setup

Hi again everyone, my fav road is this Hillclimb which is public road for 364 days of the year. This is my 1st run up the hill for the day and I ended up hitting the kerb out of the last corner, ended up with a 37:52 which put me 12th out of 80, but had to put the car on the trailer and take...

Love the idea of gullwings but they are extremely heavy and my aim is to get the car as light as possible, so am looking at CF and Lexen in the future but have to be carefull as it could put me up into Sports Sedans which is basically space frame chassis with body skins, hard to compete with that.

No cage was forward and down off the rear seat shelf where it was installed so there was room to finish the welds around the top bars, as its too close to body work to weld in position, will take some more pics of final location. I am unsure what colour to paint it though, have got paint same...

With the advent of remote tyre pressure monitoring from within the car, which alot of race teams are doing now some rim manufacturers are installing two valves so you can install system on one and fill with other. Another reason is nitrogen filled tyres its easier to purge out the O2.

Thanks for the vote of confidence turbonutter, Car dosent look much different since then but have changed the rims

Finally worked out how to do this This is the beast when I first got it home :bigsmile: Then I stripped it out and installed the rollcage
