Makrolon is the same thing as Lexan/Polycarbonate, different brand names for the same thing. There are various different types of Makrolon coating. I would assume they would use Makrolon AR
If its cheaper than the margard lexan, i would go for it as its pretty much the same thing

Spotted twice this week in the morning driving along the A8 (glasgow road, past the airport), between 7.30/7.45. Driving like a bellend, undertaking people, driving up peoples arses, doing 80 (at least) in a busy 60 zone and cut between me and a car on the inside lane...
For the sake of £100 i would be cancelling my order and going the custom cages route, or have tom johnson on here make you a cage. I have a SASSA full 8 point cage here to weld into mine that i got direct from SASSA (they make the oreca racing cages amongst others) for under £600 delivered
The wording regarding the following of the A pillar hasn't changed. Its simply been brought to light as a view scruts have raised a concern/issue with the design implemented in the current safety devices (and others) cage design
I had a call back aswel, refused to pay the extra seen as it was already more expensive than there website prices. Await a further call back, no doubt cancel an go direct to TD
It was modified with AST's, miltek exhaust an a few other bits. I believe he is turning it back to standard to sell! Oh an it's white I can pm you his advert if you like
The SM inlet doesn't just give a higher peak figure when combined with boost. It moves the powerband upwards slightly in the rev range and allows the engine to hold power longer (as long as the turbo is capable of holding boost), plus various other changes
I dont see the point in risking the drive. simply send the ecu to be base mapped, it wont run like an NA. Although if you are keeping the SM chris can't put a base map on to suit it
I don't see the fear factor with running a forged build as a daily, as long as it is built correctly with the specified tolerances it wont be an issue. I used my Mr2 Turbo that was fully forged as a daily and racked up 20+ thousand miles on it with zero issues, made the same power 4 years later...
I also have a PH1 and have had zero issues with the ABS other than a sensor but on a 16year old car its to be expected. My car is mainly a track car and i'am very harsh on the brakes, the ABS works quite well on track.
To answer the OP's question if you are selling the car its a pointless...
proper padding on the B pillar legs of the main hoop and using a full cage on the road isn' an issue from a safety point of view. The impractical aspect of it (providing you have cross doors bars), would soon get old i would imagine
