Yes ANDRA tech regulations require a approved welded in roll cage

but contrary to popular belief......the cage is only one of the requirements

Personal

Full FIA approved race suit

flame retardent undergarments (socks, pants, shirt and balaclava)

ANDRA approved helmet

FIA race boots

Arm restraint/or window net

ANDRA UDL licence

total cost...between $2500-$3500

Vehicle

Roll cage

FIA approved race harness (seat belts)

Belhousing sheild

harmonic balancer shield/or billet steel item fitted

tailshaft loop/loops

rear firewall (if boot mounted fuel system)

battery isolation switch

open ended wheel nuts

ANDRA tech inspection

total cost...between $3500-$4000

So its more than a cage and costs between $6000-$8000 to comply

Sick of reading that people got booted because they didnt have a "cage"

You have to do ALL of that if you run a 9.99 - 10.99 second pass ? :D

I was aware of a lot of those requirements, but I always say "without a cage", because thats the primary reason most people never do all of the stuff above, as a cage would be very hard for them to own a car with... the other stuff wouldn't effect it.

However, next time I'll make sure I write.... "Hey got booted for ....." and write all your replies :)

Not complying....simple

Yep, that's correct.

Thanks for the information anyway... I knew there was much more to it but didn't know the exact specs (as I don't have a 10 second car)

i wish it was just a cage......would have been cheaper

you see my point though...you always hear..."oh he didnt have a cage" generally from people who dont know the rules, or are ignorant to them. Was not trying to put you in your place ThommO just making you and other readers aware that theres more to it than the cage.

Hi Brad....sorry for the mistake...its Paul. We got the blanket....but should be called scatter shield..as its got cat guts all over it!

Hey Paul, that just proves it's street driven :) It's a big step from the 11's to 10's, we are going to have to decide if we are going to want to race often enough to justify all the gear for tech inspection or just run the time once.

Guest DIRTgarage
ah ok, thanks for confirming that.

as that may be somehting Paul will have to add to his list.

:unsure:

mick

dont think that our set-up will run 140MPH...but we do have 6psi of boost up our sleeve....just in case we need to use it. The boost gives us another 40kw at the treads

are you willing to tell us your goals atm paul for Jambo?

your aiming on competing with Theo & Mark Jacobson?

mid 9s?

i hear Mark has made some more improvements and is wanting low 9s from jambo.

The car wont go any quicker than it has before at jambo. I am running a conservative setup as I only need to make top 16. Yes, i wont be aiming to compete with mark and theo, i will be competing with them. As the elimination is on a DYO handicapped system all cars in top 16 are on a level playing field. No point running the cars guts out in eliminators. Ill be shooting for 9's at the SAU drag day.

Yep, that's it. The only thingI would add is that you can get a four point rollbar in place of the six point rollcage which is good to 10.000. For a regularly street driven car this might be a lot easier to get away with.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
