Fabricated CAMS approved roll cage

It is road registered and I plan to drive to the circuit and race in the Tasmanian Sports GT.

Very nice, I like that cage!

So I took the car out for a shakedown http://racing.natsoft.com.au/635776308/object_859464.86Z/View?2 and it was awful! The brakes were crap and the rear end too soft. The turn in on tight corners was horrible. The gearing was also bad, for the tight stuff 2nd too low and third too high and on the long straight (Its a short circuit) it was a toss up whether to grab 5th or not before the end

Current work being done
New pads and discs
heavier rear springs (650lb)
Gripper diff
new cwp and shorter 5th gear
Billet flywheel and new clutch
heavier rear swaybar
Custom front strut brace

Hope to take it out again very soon to see the difference. Driving on the road with 650lb rear springs and gripper diff should be fun!
