Eesh, can't believe they cut the doors up without having a cage fitted.

Following with interest though!

It had door cards and a half cage in his first post.

A half cage won't stop a side impact from annihilating your legs 😂

Never said it was useful, just that he had a cage.

What made you swap to a 200?

Plan to race and the Mk2 would have been to costly for parts. Plus I’m I wanted a new cage to mount the seat further back.
Wasn’t planning a 200 but this come up.

It's a great choice to be honest. The chassis of the MK3 is superb.

I totally missed these massive developments...
Shame to see the 172 go, but I totally get the feelings you had/have - I have been there.

Little surprised though that you have just basically replaced it like for like, do you think you just enjoy the build more?

I defo enjoy the build but had had enough of the MK2. Little things like the manifold stopping the rocker cover coming off, I couldn’t get comfy in the seat as I couldn’t get it back far enough with the cage it had and few other bits then when I looked at racing it, adding up replacement parts and the wait time made it not viable.

Few other life things etc but breaking the car, buying the 200 and all of the parts I need to build it, I’ve still been able to bank a far wedge of cash into my savings account.
