Just an update of what ive been up to,
getting stuck back into fitting up the cage. Only doing the back half at the moment so that the car remains easy to get in and out of as i may be using it daily again soon for a little while.
 

 
a fair bit will be getting done over the next fortnight as i have entered a track day so the normal last minute rush will be on.
 
also im playing with a new rear suspension setup to stiffen up the back of the car. so i will post photos up of that depending on how it all goes.

finally got to do abit more work to the car this weekend, after a bit of head scratching and such the rear prototype coilover setup is done. pretty happy with the result, car is heaps stiffer in the rear and can be adjusted by adding or reducing preload to the springs.
 

 
the final mounting of the spring adjuster and cups using the clamps is not 100% what i wanted but was limited both by options and lack of engineering equipment to sort a better option.
 
Also finally finished the rear section of the cage off today too. all painted and bolted in.
 

 
next will be to mounts the front legs, side intrusion bars and roof bar. But that will be for in the new year.

Sorry mate no on car shots at the moment,
 
Daryl, Pretty happy with how the cage fits up, its ment for a two door, but can be used for a 4 door. Only downside is you have to cut and weld the rear legs, cut the harness bar to width and cut the front legs and roof bar. so its not really a 100% bolt in cage.
