Its a nice lazy road car. That's all. Gearbox is good. Keeps a better balance on changes and is quicker than manual. Not special enough to buy one as a second car, would make a nice daily to abuse though. More so than the Fiesta ST

Its a Nissan engine so I assume its on the same management Nissan use in the Juke.

Going to have to be the Safety Devices one then!

I don't mind removing door cards to get the door bars in when I need them and I'd rather cut the dash to have the cage behind it. I just can't do without seatbelts. The Safety Devices one is perfect except it's a dash dodger. But I know you can keep all the trim.

Have you got any photos of it fitted? I've tried looking to see if you have a build thread but can't find one.

Ahh :( bummer. Thanks for taking a look for me!

The Oreca one looks close in places too. The light in the roof would have to go as well as the grab handles but not too bothered about them. I don't want to lose plastic trim and seatbelts. I was looking at the CL3 one on here. I'd add door bars to it...

Ahh nice easy job then! Good news I swap my track seats over the week before track days, I'm looking to fit a cage with removable door bars so I can also swap the fibreglass doors over at the same time. I'll have them as track doors, no mechanisms, fixed mirrors and sliders :) It's all coming...

On a ph1 172 how big a job (how long timewise) is it to unbolt the doors, remove them and then refit?

It was the bottom Oreca one I was looking at. Cheap and cheerful and I can get it welded and painted for beer money. I wanted to know if the door bars would clear the trim. I don't mind cutting the dash as I've had a 'dash-dodger' cage before and it was a pain having to remove it to get the...

Has anyone got the Oreca cage with removable door bars?

You need a gas tank in the back to keep the flame going too

Fair play that's a good effort! Less of the UMMs (which is difficult and might take a bit of practise and a few cuts) and cringe at the shock horror bit but other than that it's very good; well done.

Mine's been ok, but I leave it disconnected with a solar charger on it. And then its only a 30 second job to connect it again.

Looks better :) Is that a polo radiator fitted?

Build the airbox into the slam panel to retain the bonnet catch.

Its probably the tyres. Not the fault of the tyres but because having a softer compound on the front and a harder compound on the rear is not ideal for a FWD car and certainly won't help. The other way around is better. Did you touch the kerbs at all when you span? A damp kerb isn't very...

Oh right! Didn't realise you would get that much.

Thats close... You could run smaller spacers (make your own) or 40mm trumpets, that'll give the same length as the SFs with 120mm trumpets.

Is that 15mm between the trumpets and the bonnet or the filter and the bonnet?

Only Russ is looking into a closed one. I'll keep the sausage. Scott is looking at the panel filter style.

It's not something rude...it's a rather shonky mockup of the DTH bodies with the SF spacers, 60mm trumpets and the recommended filter height. Over Christmas I'll take my inlet and slam panel off and see what clearance there is. The recommended clearance for the filter is a minimum of 13mm for...

It worked OK if I took the filter off. Even running it with no filter and the air feed pipe sapped power...strange.

I had this one. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Product.do?method=view&n=1691&g=246392&p=40619&c=215&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Base&utm_campaign=Universal%20Air%20Boxes&gclid=CLGl2NTsnrsCFVMPtAodXUMA2w I had the car setup without it, and then dyno run again with it on. It lost 20bhp at the...

The only issue with those ones is needing a new airfilter. And after doing a couple of measurements they might even angle down too much. I think the spacers are the best bet Tbh.

The hole spacing is the same though, 65mm. Just make an adapter if needed like in the photo I posted earlier.

I'd be wary of airboxes. I ran a Pipercross airbox and it cost me 20bhp at the wheels.

Assuming they are the standard 50mm spacers but at an angle of 22.5° that makes the bottom part 30mm. So with 60mm standard trumpets on the DTH kit you will end up with 110-90mm trumpets (100mm nominal). And you won't need to change the air filter. Assuming you have space of course.

I don't think it'll make much difference if any.
