Hi guys,

I'm currently setting my car up for circuit work but need to get my sunroof removed before getting my cage done. Mistakenly put it in Cosmetic but left if in there just in case someone has a fabrication person I could speak to.

I figured the two options were to get a panel welded in place or to get a new roof skin.

Does anyone know of the best place to get a quote for this type of work or have any other possible suggestions?

Thanks.

I definitely like the carbon roof idea, another way I have done it in the past was too cut a piece of perspex approx 40 mm too big and then bend a 20mm lip the whole way round, then fasten it too the metal lip on the roof skin which will be left after u remove the sunroof frame and glass.you can fasten it with just about anything just don't crack the Perspex, I used sealed blind rivets.after that silicone the join on top and wipe the excess away so it's waterproof as well. I doubt u will have a headlining in place if your caging but if so you might need to cut the 20mm lip down so it doesn't catch on anything.

thanks for the replies. I was thinking of putting a separate window in there but with the spacing needed for the cage it ends up being easier to remove the whole thing and not having to have a complete custom build for the cage. If I do find someone who is able to do something with it I'll post back in the thread with a few images in case anyone else thinks of doing the same.

That seems like the simple way to go, I was thinking about it and you probably could just build the cage first and figure it out later, also more than likely u will have a cross brace throughout so just mount something off that

still haven't sorted this part out yet but the skin idea is still the one I'm liking the most. That way I can just get someone to do the welding and I can sort the rest. Does anyone have an idea where I might source one? Going to start calling around and see if anyone is wrecking a 32.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
