Well I wanted to rip it out, until Dave realised there's pipes from the engine bay plumbed into it. So for the moment it's staying. I only want air going to the windscreen, so if you find a nice way of getting it out, let me know :)

Looking good Neil, I reckon mine will have less in it than your though ;)

Cheers. They all seem to be about the same price. Might just order some so it's delivered by the time I'm back in the UK.

They are essential for landscape work tbh.

Ah, Tony, I though you meant they would only SELL you a kit when they had seen example of the work from the person welding it in, didn't realise that was related to the approval bit.

Ah that makes sense from what I read on that sheet. So I assume if you take the finished cage to them, they inspect it and give the thumbs up....or not.

I don't think it is, but don't quote me on that. There was a piece of paper that came with it about that, didn't really pay much attention to it tbh as I'm not worried if it's not approved, only for track day use. Although on their site they say this:

Dropped the car off at Danny's today. Now for the long boring wait.... While I'm here, where's the best place to get roll cage padding? Tweeks want £48 to deliver four 1m lengths. That seems a bit extravagant for 4m of padding. Anywhere else good? Just normal stuff, doesn't have to be FIA approved.

Didn't really notice much to be honest. I changed it mainly because of the servicing advantages, you don't need to replace them often, just clean them up.

I know lol, she shouted at me! Haven't done an update for while as I haven't done much photography wise :( Norway tomorrow, so maybe some nice pics.

I don't get the bonnet thing, but fair play for doing something different.

I can't imagine there's a massive difference between them. I bought an ITG filter, does the job nicely.

Yeh I think so. I bought my RS wheel from RSport, and a Momo hub from Tweeks (iirc). Then fit.....job done. Bear in mind you will loose the CC buttons from the wheel. Some people have modded theirs onto their new wheel itself. I'm not bothered about CC so I just ditched it. Oh....and the horn...

Wordpress is great if you have SQL capabilites on your host. Defo do a blog, I find them fun to do, and hey....someone might find mine interesting to read lol!

I drove a normal 500 as a hire car in Italy last year, thought it was a cool little car. I imagine the Abarth is a riot tbh.

Thanks, I wanted something a bit 'wilder' than boring white or black, should look epic when done.

RS Sabelt wheel FTW! Yes they go a bit 'off' after a while, but still the best mod you can do. (I mean a smaller wheel in general, not specifically the RS one ;))

Didn't realise you were in Malvern. Would love to have done a shoot on the evo....oh well. I'll keep an eye out for 197 :)

Impressive pics, nice panning skills :)

Are you doing that RS day May 20th? I'm in Bosnia that week but I'm trying to get home Thursday night so I'll be able to go.

Yeh, frame the picture as normal with no filter, set the exposure (using manual mode), set the focus to manual, then slot the filter in, adjust exposure, fire away. With the big stopper, you can see nothing through the viewfinder, so the camera has no chance of metering of focusing.

Sorry yeh, double it. Soz.....brain not working well today :(

Loose the tints and get standard rear lights....then it'll look sweet.

Bugger, you and Dave haven't had much luck as soon as your cars get on track. Next time......

lol so many new guys playing with ND filters, must be the new trend. Awesome fun to be had though :)

I had an Alpine unit, I bought the adapter wires, they just plugged in behind the unit itself, there's a lot of wires tucked away behind the unit so it's a bit of a faff, but no dash removal was required for me.

For 13 stops, take your original shutter speed, and halve it 13 times. The big stopper is 10 stops, and that's a lot, 13 would be crazy long!

You need to buy a specific adapter for it to work.

Awesome pic Geordie! Really impressive. What kit did you use?

Do you know how many stops it blocks Scott? You also never know what else it might do to the image, like distortion etc....
