Hi Jules, The guy to go and see it Steve Maitland, Maitland fabricators, makes the majority of cages for all the waneroo race cars. Cost will depend on how many points the cage is, but it's damn expensive:(

If you want to go cheap then you can just buy a bolt in cage.

Jules , the CAMS and ANDRA specs are different and one cage will not be legal for the other unless the CAMS one is engineered.

pwptpf is right , Steve Maitland is good , on time and on budget.

Other places to try are Ballistic Racecraft ( Wangara I think ) and Guru Welding ( Carlisle )

Mark Bourne who is operating out at Fastlane in Wangara is another one.

Both Mark and Steve have done cages for me and Louie ( Guru's ) have done plenty for guys I know in Rallying

Cheers

Ken

will go see those guys next week, cheers Ken

Aside from maitland, Kim ledger at LF has just employed Brad stacey who's also pretty ace at cages..

Paul a few factors make it legal, material is the big one, CDS or cold drawn seemless steel is the easiest option to make a cage with, as chrome moly and ally need to be inspected and signed off by an engineer..

other than that the cams rule book describes in detail different cage designs and whats legal, you can add extra bar work in to your desire, but it must comform to the regs regarding clearances and the like..

as a side note a lot of the jap bolt in cages are not legal, and cusco are the only brand i can think of that make legal cages, but not all of there cage models are..

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
