Roll cage has fallen through, there's one on eBay but I'm not sure about the quality.

VRSTurbo, what was the place who did yours called and what do they charge for a half cage with a cross brace and harness bars?


The cage i had done by 3 different people.

Rear:
The Tube Bender in Brum
Fitting: Was WGT motorsport

Front:

SA Fabrication in Hinckley/Burbage (Sketchely industrail estate)


Would SA be able to do a rear cage?

Gearbox has been collected by the local gearbox company to be inspected and have anything which is worn replaced.

I'm seeing a guy on Thursday about a roll cage, getting some prices and seeing what he can do for me.

Still need to find a decent clutch, got a Black Diamond one on my desk and a Valeo (standard) one but I'm trying to get a price on a Helix one or a Sachs motorsport one too before I decide.

About a million pounds! They are pretty expensive!

Gearbox is done, didn't need anything really but I told them to do the bearings anyway and replace all the seals so it should be spot on for ages now.

Also decided just to go for a standard Valeo clutch instead of an uprated one.

I don't think cluthces are a major thing on these, people do recommend going for Valeo if it does need replacing.

How much did the oil cooler setup cost? Something I could potentially look at for the future.

£136, mine got noisy when it was hot last time so thought I'd do this to save it from doing it again.

Ordered some more wheels the same but they only had gloss black so they'll have to do, I know I won't like the way it's going to look though

Also finally found a roll cage, just need to finalise details and get it bought.

Tyres now and that's it.

4 weeks today for Cadwell

It's easier with all the bits which need doing I think.

It's having a clutch, gearbox, cambelt kit, power steering pump and bushes done, all of which are a bit fiddly with the car in one piece, much easier with it all out.

Getting tight though, needs to be done by Saturday morning!
