If i do get in, i bet the harnesses are not big enough now they are strapped further back.

when you move away next year im going to make it suit me, like uve done

 

[Nafoff]

[maynard]

cage looks smart!

 

[Rob]

Cage looks epic, love this car so much, cannot wait to do something this crazy next year. Just need to move out first!

 

[Cro]

Awesome work Carl, cage came out really well after the welding!

What seat is the passenger (adrian :rasp getting?

 

[Bazzon]

We have the same seat on order for the passanger side.

If i can not get in i will be taking Carls Focus RS out at Croft i think.

 

[hughesclio]

looks very very nice that lads, just how i would like mine to look
looks like mine will NOT be changing colour for a little while now as i have an m3 headgasket to fix.
but mine WILL be rb this year
keep up the good work and hope you get your engine sorted soon.

[Barron]

new door cards made from thin lightweight aluminium.

Heated front windscreen fitted.

Carl

 

[maynard]

very smart work with the door cards

 

[Nafoff]

you fabrficate the doorcards up yourself? powdercoated or painted?
look very neat

 

[Cro]

Nice dude, starting to look really neat especially for a trackcar

 

[Barron]

Custom made by a fabricator who works for my dads mate. They have been painted but could have easily been powdercoated

 

[Nafoff]

very interested in them, may be picking your brains / going over the thread with a fine tooth comb in the near future

 

[homer simpson]

looking good lads we should have a good day at croft i hope we can get a few laps together :approve:

 

[Barron]

No worries mate. If you look back in the thread you will see my other door cards. Those will be for sale soon. They are alittle bit heavier and would come with cup racer door handle spacers

 

[Barron]

Car is now insured, MOT tomorrow and then to tax it.

 

[Timmay]

looking sexual i must say!

 

[adam172]

i like them door cards allot !!

 

[Conlon]

you wired in you heated windscreen yet? ive just got one but thinking it may be a bit of a ball ache?

 

[Barron]

Not yet mate.

MOT passed today.

Carl

 

[SteveS Cup]

What is the reason for the heated screen? To demist in the winter?

Sorry for the noob sounding question!

Car is looking amazing... It's a bit more than just a stripped out track toy!!!!! I bet it's a great laugh to drive!

Fuse, Relay, switch and some wires, Piece of piss.


Was it expensive Carl?

I posted a link in your racecar thread some time ago IIRC Jay.

(or maybe i didnt, can not see it)

Sure carl will post the link or PM you it when he sees this.

 

[Jay Payne]

We probably wont go for one due to the cost, we will go through screens alot quicker than the norm. Car only ran for 45mins at Brands and already has a chip. Standard one cost us £100 fitted, was just wondering what the heated ones cost by comparision. Another Clio we race against was after one at one stage

We kept the heater for rainy days.

 

[Hutchie]

tbh the heated screens wernt too bad. first one we had only worked on one side though, luckally driver side.

they deliver them in a cardboard box so its lucky if you get one in one piece.

very very good quality though. and worked a treat in the snow


on another note, i cannot understand the front bit of the cage. its the most un ergonomic cage i have seen in a clio. looks a nightmare to get in and it makes the dash sit weird. do not like. apart from that the rest of it looks spot on. still that gash exhaust???

 

[Jay Payne]

Not really studied it before but I see what you mean. Door bars a bit high.

 

[Hutchie]

i can see it being an arse getting in and out loads on a track day.

its hard enough getting in the 206 with its door bars but barron bro's ph1 looks propper awkward.

you can see they can be alot lower

 

[Bazzon]

Carl wanted it to be a copy of a cup racer cage.

Taken from Hughesclios's thread

That is a cup racer cage, ours is exaclty the same, apart from we dont have the bar behind the seats.

Also

We dont care if it makes fitting a dash awkward because the dash is not going back in.

The Bar will be used to mount the RACE2 dash and it is the perfect height.

Looks good to me.

 

[Bazzon]

Taken from Laxys thread, same as ours.

 

[Barron]

Spanner in the works today. Clutch has crumbled so will be replacing that tomorrow morning, just in time for croft on monday.

Will update with some photos tomorrrow.

Carl

 

[hughesclio]

who cares if its awkward to get in and out of?
think i would rather be safer once i was in the car tbh
