NEEDED: Help building custom cage

[Batman]

renaultsport ones

i thought they used just 2mm abs plastic sheets or carbon fibre? it weighs less then a whole door card!

28 point is to much and to much weight esp when trying to get to 850kgs

whats the cup at fred?

 

[ben_p]

LOL well need a price on a

cup racer

dash
doorcards

 

[Fred@BTM]

which cup?

 

[Batman]

which cup?

the 1.2 itb one

 

[Fred@BTM]

no idea how heavy it is i would estimate its lighter than a cupracer

 

[Batman]

how much does a cup racer weigh?

i dont know what matt black had his down to in the tt, im targerting 850 but cage is just adding in

 

[Fred@BTM]

minimum allowable weight without driver was 900kg with was 995kg

 

[Batman]

look what i found this is what i want!

[Batman]

hmm so getting 850 shouldnt be to bad polycard windows,carbon bonnet,mirrors erm only where pants

 

[Fred@BTM]

i doubt you'll get 850 maybe just under 900

 

[ben_p]

i lost 85kgs without the cage , thats PAS pump, aircon, stock rads, interior, race battery, ally bonnet fitted etc

 

[Batman]

i doubt you'll get 850 maybe just under 900

well if i target 850 i'll do more then if i aim for 900! its just takiong the right steps hence why im not rushing anything the cars only sat at the bottom of the drive

 

[Batman]

ive taken out all interior every last little plastic plug,rear wiper motor and wiper,all wiring thats not needed and i took a holesaw to a couple of places in the back, just gotta start on the front, i just bought a red top 25 thats sitting on the bed it'll go behind the passenger seat at a later date

 

[Batman]

just found another cage again though the dash making the bars in the exact right place for the reinforcement plates

[Batman]

any idea which cage this is? i found yet another

http://www.auto-sprint.com/asturias/images/ClioFaseIIRallys-5.JPG

seems it will have to go through the dash to make it close enough

 

[Batman]

found it! sorted now cheaper then a 6 point cage to

 

[ben_p]

who makes it?

 

[ben_p]

looks like my OMP one

 

[Batman]

and bingo was his name ooohhhhhhhhhhhh

all bars next to pillars to attach reinforcing plates

 

[Batman]

you know ben but dont say a word we'll keep it our secret!

that link shows a nasty looking evo....

Do you have any idea what that evo is!!!!! That my friend is Norris Designs (sign in background) customized Evo running something in the region of 850 -900+bhp with shortened wheelbase, made into 2door and roof chopped. Its an unbeleivable spec and you have to see this thing go to appreciate the work gone into it. Its mind blowing,

 

[ben_p]

BATMAN
ive got all the other fitting pics, do you have them?

and its been acid dipped! i read through the whole spec list and its some car look at its 0-100! i only linked it due to the roll cage, who cares about looks with the spec it has

yea ben i just got the whole file as there's around 5 different models with a few differences and some weigh more this ones 32kgs and only costs £435 so well under budget, hows the super charger work going? people keep on saying i should go down that route but its just alot of hassle!

 

[ben_p]

im giving up on the charger i think! pm me that link dude, wouldnt mind a peak,

 

[Batman]

im giving up on the charger i think! pm me that link dude, wouldnt mind a peak,

[ben_p]

cheers lado!

 

[Batman]

im giving up on the charger i think! pm me that link dude, wouldnt mind a peak,

so whats the plan if your dropping the charger? i got fedup of thinking how im going with the tuning so im starting other way around first and i'll tune it last

 

[ben_p]

LOL fitting pistons, cams, rods, headwork, ITBs, NOS, injectors, standalone, 4-2-1, de cat and cat back,

 

[Batman]

i was thinking itb's with nos but its on the same card as a turbo exactly why im leaving it for now and bide my time

Thats all great. I would still feel like a prick driving it though. Looks but ugly

The ligthest weight is not having something there so bin everything run simple wiring loom for lights etc then space frame the car would be good.

well thats how ive tried to think i dissconected the rear loom after everything was out then worked out what wires were useless e.g rear wiper wires,interior boot wire,aerial wire, certain earthing wires, door sensor wires and sensors, then removed plastic lugs and grommets then plotted out where the holesaw can go (would space frame but cant be assed) MOT is due on fri so i'll get that done, then i gotta take seats out to take carpet up and remove airbag wires, then i'll tackle the dash when the cage is going in, then front window has to come out to weld in reinforcement plates by some lucky crap TIG welder :rasp: before being sprayed then i can plod on with dash,race battery and the like and do front doors and windows
