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

when's he taking a holiday Steve, and also finishing your gtir?  Would want it done sorta quickly so may have to grab one of the other guys to do it, no drama

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..

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
