Mild steel cage? Bugger about the side intrusion bars being the way they are...otehrwise i would have almost handed over the cash straight :)

Yeah it is made from mild steel. I know that there is regs on how many bars etc and where they have to be to be Cams approved but what they are I don't know. The car is still out at Jason White (Lambo driver in Targa) workshop who built the cage and the doors etc are still off it so I can't see it being to hard to modify the side intrusion bars. If you are interested let me know what you want changed and I will see what he thinks it will cost and we can negotiate. Ph 0409004259

hahaha @ the speed stuff you do - how is that more dangerous that coming into a corner with a 170 km/h entry sideways and keeping your foot into it while banging the steering on full lock ;)

I have a 4 point rollcage, the top bar is a seperate peice so there is no bends, only two where it bends to the contour of the rear window. It is the approved thickness and has been padded. Made by KSP engineering in Japan.

Yeah they DO NOT pass cams regs but we all race non-speed events. I am sure the rules will change soon and all our jap cages will need removing.....(as ther is now way in hell of them getting approval) i will go see the boys at MEIDIAN motorsport for our new weld in.

The rules already state you cat run them, even for non-speed events. Teh rules say if you run a cage, then it must comply. The loophole at the moment is that it says the Stewards of the meeting may allow you to run. Once they realise they are the ones accepting the liability for letting you run then it will quickly change. There are already some folk (Snr Stewards etc) that are pretty vocal on this front. Its a good thing they are not needed to run the drift days etc...otherwise the change may be happening quicker then some competitors would like.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
