I picked up a scenic shifter from my local scrappy for about £10, maybe worth trying to replace it? If you think it's working, install it, and in a few weeks time it fails, you might be stuck without reverse, for a very silly reason!

We'll find out in 2 years! :p

If you're prepared to wait, keep an eye on http://www.copart.co.uk/ can't see any 225s on there at the moment, but they do come up.

Sucks to hear about the crash, but you must be thrilled with that cage, looks ace!

Getting exciting. When are you hoping to be done?

Wow, love this!

Ahh, I come through Heckfield on my way to work. What are you in?

Car passed it's MOT first time, 3 advisories! - Damaged inner CV, but still functioning. - Front tyres worn on the inner. - Front brake pads low. Next updates will be getting that sorted, plus some other general maintenance, plus hopefully something fruity in the way of modification.

Yep, was walking back to my car as you went past! The back entrance to the business park is closed for 4-6 weeks, so getting out of the park between 4pm and 7pm takes an hour and a half, the entire park locks up. We've started parking along there because its a 5 min walk from the offices, and...

Floor looks good dude! You going to CSF? I'm undecided but considering...

Looks awesome dude! Will look super clean with the floors in.

I'm so lazy I'm considering buying one of the PMS shifters.

Two posts in one! First track piccies from Curborough. Car was ace, track was ace, other people were ace! Not much else to say, except I need more time on track to keep up with @dann2707 But also, I tried Dann's @JON FOZ seat mounts and was super impressed, so I bought some. So first...

This is awesome. Can't wait to see it on track. Any plans for the engine?

Yeah buddy! Although points I would make are... 1) If you bought his fitting kit with it, don't use the bolts, they are cheese. 2) Use Etch primer, then primer, then paint. 3) If you're going to keep the trim, bolt up the arches, then put the trim in, then bolt the floors. Still maintain our...

Was great to see you and the wheels at Curby! You're driving has improved load and the car felt really sweet! Oh and I'll take that £20 whenever mate... ;)

Car has been fine, but needed bits doing. Changed the gearbox oil and that feels nicer, although maybe placebo as I'm, sure I saw liquidized syncro pour from the box... I've also suffered a bit ofsttering wheel wobble at 60mph+, and couldn't work out if was an out of balance wheel or if it was...

I used the a Dremel with metal cutting discs and it was fine. Underside is messy but you never see it. I use the square holes in the front bar so the clips sit on the top of a curve and are flush. There's more pics in my project thread here.

Happy with mine, but it sinks into the wheel well in a 172 if you don't carry a spare or fill the hole.

Can't believe how little attention this is getting. Such a well documented build. Love it, keep it up!

As mine is a cheapy ebay special cage, I doubt it does too much, may even make it more dangerous in some situations. But a proper Safety Devices cage or something similar, I have no doubt would be a help in case you end up on your roof.

Can be had for well under £600 if you order from Europe. Realised I told a lie, I do have the platforms in the back of mine.

Scenic Shifter, Yanoo Stiff Shift 3.0, extra inch taken off the linkage. I like that the 3.0 allows you to dial in the stiffness, and the Scenic Shifter and shortened linkage put the stick in a much nicer place. Would definitely get my vote on a road car. The tower is higher on the Scenic...

I had Cooksports, and with a stripped rear end, it sat as though there was no drop. Took Bilsteins with no platform for it to look balanced.

I have half cage in my car, which is still a daily. No issues at all.

Have found those rose joint covers to be very decent, especially if you keep them full of CV boot grease. :up:

Get me your address now and I can send it before the postie shuts.

@dann2707 I have some 54mm spaced hubs you can have for the price of postage (£10er), complete with ABS sensor, but they'll need new bearings. Or even just the one. Hope everything's OK with the car, shat my pants when I saw the pic before the explanation!

Yep, I got one of those, but wasn't able to fit it, as I don't have the early gearbox.

Just had a peek, you've got a new knob! That looks much better though, far more comfortable position. :up: Mine's not so far back, I only took the link down by 10mm, but I'm tempted to go 10 more. Certainly feels a lot better. I lubed up my Yanoo kit and tightened it up as well and it feels...
