Its going back to the fabricators this Sunday to have a few things done unfortunately. I would have been keen to get some input to. I need to get it back on the deck tonight and ready to go.

It just keeps getting better & better Lincoln! I wasn't just talking about the photo quality either

I vote for amber over clear...... Or smoked would look pretty sweet

I'm a bit worried regarding your offset shot though, I think it's got a tad to much toe in on the front [:x)]

Where did all your carbon bits come from? Mmmmmm RS500 spliter.

Quick suspension question. What are the spec's on the springs you are running on the car?

Keep up the good work!

Cheers Matt

Carbon bits are from quite a few places - mostly creative carbon via Mike Rainbird but some others from various places - I can give you contacts if you want anything in particular. Yes genuine RS500 splitter - wanted it to last past first speedbump.

Eibach coilover springs - 180lb rear - 325 fronts. Going to buy a set 50 lb stiffer front and rear and see what I like.

I have been warned about going too stiff in the rear [:u]

Yes speed bumps = [8~2]. I was surprised to see the rego plates, I assumed it would be a pure track car I guess.

Yeah I imagine to stiff in the rear would = oversteer? My Gaz coilovers are about the same from memory. I got the latest Performance Fords yesterday & there is a Sapphire with 700lb front & 400lb rears! Thats why I asked.

Did you make your roll cage completely from scratch?

Where the 400lb in coilover or standard position? It is hardly a daily driver.

Roll cage from scratch!

They were coilovers & no it was more a track car

You didn't happen to make a spare at the same time by any chance?

Cut the stay and got a brand new set of base model headlights. Got to bog and paint. Need to find some mesh 15mm x 25mm to match or may have to make some. Any ideas?







Also put the doors on and mounted the mirrors (Grp A style Californian Vitaloni brand). Got to remove the old pin stripe from the door and give them a cut and poilsh.





Also got to make a few mods to fit the carbon fibre door skins.

Hi Lincoln,

I found some 12mm square wire, which is pretty close even down to wire gauge if you remove every second upright. It's a bit fiddly but is hard to tell the difference over original. Just can't remember what it was called, maybe it's chicken wire, but it's pretty common, I'm sure Bunnings etc would have it. I have included a rough picture of it. Hope this helps.

Did you make a pattern or template of you roll cage by any chance?

Cheers Matt

I have quite a few measurements. I can take some more if you require. Ever in Melbourne? Might be worth the trip - or - will formulate a price if you want it done?
