Do you know how to spell 'nemisis'?

A full weld in roll cage is just not practical for everyone. This cage whilst not as full on is still no show cage. It is built to withstand twice the weight if the car if it rolls over. Of course a side benefit is it stiffens the chassis considerably. It also decreases lap times by a few tenths...

Incorect my friend. If the rear straps are mounted to low. The force is transfered down through the body and spine. In extreme cases this can cause severe compression. Even cause the seat to collapse. The angle is perfect. Within spec supplied by Takata also. The manufacturor (Caged in Frome)...

Defi are pretty popular and everything. But I just fancied trying something new. We got a couple into the mag a short while ago and I was impressed with the quality so thought I'd give them a go and so got myself a pair. Glad I did. They are lush.

Anyway: I have now fit my gauges. Oil temp and pressure. So far I have just mounted them on the dash. Running the cables through the tray under the headunit. I have another gauge on the way, an Air Fuel ratio metre. When that arrives I will decide if I want to mount them permanently under the...

Mind you when all is said and done I guess at 42 years old I should know better anyway. Oh my OEM gearknob marked a lot with my wedding ring (erm not that I have that problem any more). The Skunk2 gear knob is super heavy, and I mean heavy. I thought it would be a gimmick, but I'll be dammed...

The exhaust, ah yes that. Well I have had a fair few over the years, and this is the best one so far. To be honest it is a 70mm Skunk2 system from the US, and is really to large for stage one tune, and is more suited to F/I or at least a fairly hard tuned N/A. It is on more with future tuning...

Haha, no I used to live in Sarfend (innit) and commuted between there and Oxford, to work on a Skateboarding magazine before I joined Fast Car. Racked up a few miles.

Why thank you... erm do you mean me or the car? :D. Well I thought I'd join up to the forum as my colleague Mr Ph-reebone seems to spend more time on here than doing any work (so must be a cool forum). Anyway thank you for the positive comments. The car has been a long project. I have had...
