Those don't appeal to me very much. Do you just end up with the bases of the main hoop being supported by a single bolt where the lower seat belt anchorage would be?
There will 100% be something. If there was no reinforcement, the feet of the cage would just punch through the floor pan in the event of a rollover.
Personally, I would probably go for something with weld-in feet, as a piece of 3mm plate welded into the car makes for a nice secure mounting...
I certainly wouldn't argue against the effectiveness of the naca ducts, but I do wonder if the length/shape of the tubing might reduce the amount of air you feel in the cabin. Only time will tell though. It will be interesting to see how they work in reality. I'm sure I've seen some GT cars that...
There are more subtle options out there. You could go for one like this (which looks very much like the Ford Group A one for the Escort):
Or always go for a flap, as on the Impreza:
The Group A Clio 16v/Williams/Maxi had something similar. I have seen replicas for sale online somewhere...
It does look lovely. As others have said, ktec aren't cheap, but they do seem to only deal in nice examples with good spec. Having had a lot of trouble when buying my Meg from a garage who knew nothing about them, I would certainly consider buying from someone like that in the future. Sometimes...
Don't really see that much of an issue with the pictures to be honest. Yes, they're not first class, but I have seen much, much worse. The description looks very detailed, which is far more important IMO.
The guy who built it certainly seems to know what he's doing from the build thread. Very...
It was always going to happen in my view. Relatively rare homologation model of a popular hot hatch. 15 years later, when many have been crashed/modified/scrapped, the good ones were always going to climb in value.
Reminded of this thread as a guy from France has paid a £100 deposit for my Cup and is coming to collect it on Sunday. Had another one asking about it too.
Looking to build a website and just wondered if anyone had any suggestions? To begin with, I just want a simple holding page, but will look to build something a bit more complex later. I have hosting capability, so ideally want a desktop tool where I can put a page together and then host it.
