wow they did a good job of that, but where's your camber gone lol

I assume (because of the yellow ramps behind the car) its still on the jig,up in the air. that tyre should be tucked nicely under the arch.

no the estate does not have a cage.

where did you get the cage from? im going to be making a track v70 and looking for some sort of cage, main part is to protect me, so does not have to fit the whole car, thats why i was thinking maybe a 850/s70 cage modified a little to fit?

[JT]

my cage was designed and fitted by a company in Southampton called Raw Motorsport,
with a little help from TWR no less!!

I can find you a phone number, but I suspect they are a bit too far away for you?

[p fandango]

your cage is very similiar to Big Red's (the estate)

[JT]

quite close that!!

may be a little to far, now that i have seen that it has been done im sure i will find someone who does or has done caging in the past

thats interesting, because the TWR BTCC cars have a totally different cage. Yet yours is almost the same as the one in the evaluation car which was done by a Swedish company (can't remember there name)

Very nice indeed and very tempted myself lol

maybe have a chat with Rydell, he is fitting his own cage!
I cant/won't speak for him, but i think hes a bit nearer to home for you.

looks like they have used a thinner tube,so having to put more tubes in.
also I wanted to take passengers,so the front diagonal was a no no

Very nice indeed and very tempted myself lol
