Been there before foxy with my DC2 which i put a custom cages cage in, was a pita with missing tube, wrong length/profiled tubes. Thats why i kind of mocked this one up to check all bits were present, everything else i can sort later if i need to reprofile the the ends. Russ

Cage is here now, have checked it all, looks like all the bits are here and have mocked it up roughly. Shell is just about ready to weld the cage in, just gotta take out the old passenger side seat mounts really. Gonna knock some new weld in rails up this week if i get a chance as well. Took a...

Ordered my cage from custom cages today, should be with be in 7-10 days they said, just been stripping some of the metal work out of the shell, seat mounts are out and have got all the spare brackets out of the rear, just on with taking the sound deadening tar out from everywhere at the minute...

lol i have 2, a standard road going lcr one that i ran on the ring and the proper carbon big splitter, all i know is it wont last the season before it gets smashed/knocked off! Russ

Dont know much history for it M0rk, i bought it off a guy called Stuart Lines who ran it for 1 or 2 races in 06/07 i think. It was number 18 and dark blue when i bought it. Chassis number 58 i think. Russ

Burp, No meant to buy it but can only get it from whsmith up here, will see if i can get a back issue. Cookie, there's a 197 cup car in the lma's but not had a chance to really race it, had a good battle against some 1*2 cup cars last time out and came off on top so would be interesting as that...

Just thought i'd put some details up of my race car. Its an ex Seat Cupra Cup car and was factory built by Seat Sport. Has a pretty much standard 250bhp 1.8T motor (for the time being), 365mm front discs and 6 pot Alcons, wider front track, air jacks, Aim MXL Pista dash etc all as it came from...

What kind of cages though, not interested in anything bolt in, got to be a proper full weld in. Russ

M0rk, just gonna order the cage as a kit from Custom Cages, would rather they didn't fit it tbh, i have a man that does good work! Geesus69, er dont think i have put a thread up, might do one now, keep your eyes peeled in the general motorsport/pics bit. Russ

Didn't realise you had a 172 M0rk, recognise your name from the SeatCupra forum! Russ

Thought i'd put some pics up of my new project, going to be mainly for Nurburgring use maybe the odd blast round the lakes of a weekend. I've had a Ph1 172 in the past and wanted another for this project, managed to bag this bargain off ebay, by no means the best one you've ever seen but is...

Stan, did a search for avanti diffs, just couldn't find much info on suppliers etc. I live near wigton just outside carlisle btw. Russ

Does anyone else make a plate diff for the 172? Where did you guys get your gripper diffs from, would prefer a plate diff personally over the quaife but for all round road and track use ATB would be a good compromise. I assume the diffs for 172's etc are expensive due to it all being one piece...

Plenty of RS clios/valvers/willys and a 230 megane at croft today on and off track, recognized a couple of cars, northys cup car + gazs (?) old 'nana. Really nice day, was there just watching, was in a Titanium Ph quick with for sale signs in. Trying to get my mates 306 tourer down to 98db but...

Performance Leads by any chance, found them while searching on here. They might be an option as i could get them to make up a black set to look oe. Think they wanted anout £40. Russ

I'm after some oe spec ignition leads for my Ph1 172, local stealer wants £93 + vat for a set which is rediculous. Not after anything fancy but Magnacor or similar are looking the best bet at the minute as they are much cheaper. Does anyone have a make/model or part number for oe type leads from...

Dave, seen that on Northloop, quite lucky in the end i suppose that no damage was done to the armco or the E30. Russ (M3 Y RT)

Got it in one Jonnyboy. Russ

After previously owning a white one today i picked up a Cherry Red Rallye from Winsford in Cheshire. Isn't mint but i've seen worse, needs a new wing which i have and a general tidy up. Has loads of history, all the pug manuals/folders, spare key etc, 3 owners and 93k miles. Also looks like it...

Looks nice with the dark wheels. Where abouts is that mate, was just looking at the pics thinking, that looks familiar! Is it somewhere around Penrith, Greystoke maybe? I'm from carlisle btw. Russ

Nice pics mate, still really want to have a go in an ST, just something about them. That 997 GT3 RS is perfect, just awesome. Russ

Down more colin, was gonna say don't be a puff but might be wasted on you :rasp: still haven't seen it in the metal yet, you'll have to bring it round, will let you have a look at the cupra. Russ

Just a couple of pics form the weekend, first real decent ones i've taken and thats only because its up for sale! Just washed and polished it saturday then went and got it dirty! Really nice run out, back roads were practically deserted up to Hawick and back really enjoyed it :cool: Really gonna...

Loads of pics on TRACKPHOTO One of mine. Russ

Nice one Dai, shame we didn't get to passenger with each other or see each other on track much, would have liked to see how the two compared, maybe when you're on slicks next time mate :cool: Russ

Looks hard as nails, seen a couple of standardish 197 cups in the vln, never that one though, there's a white one with a different front bumper and a few engine mods thats always running, and very quickly usually. Russ

Said it before, get them wheels and vents painted! Looking good though. Definately need a photoshoot with the vee, danny's cup, my ph-Quick and my cup racer when i get it, awesome! Russ

Easily sorted for less than £100 with some pads and some decent fluid though. Nice pics Dave, dan get your video hosted up somewhere too. Russ

Think there is some pics somewhere for a couple of weeks ago, unless more than one cups been stoved through wipperman, looked nasty. Russ

Now we're getting somewhere, thanks for all the info guys, didn't realise they were geared as high as that thought they'd maybe only do 120ish. Fred, probably be giving you a ring when i get a car sorted out. Thanks again. Russ
