why don't u want to track the car?

I suppose you have bigger faster toys to play with on track anyway lol.

But it would surprise quite a lot of cars at a "normal" track day i reckon.

 :happy2:



Well not really anything to do with that, I love driving anything on track, and I mean anything lol..

Just no one to play with usually..  :driver:

I may well take it on a circuit later this year at some point, say if a few of us are there etc..

sounds like an idea for another forum meet.

MSV normally does an exclusive deal with SCN (SeatCupra.net) during the year. Could always tag along with them!

Have you considered CG-Locks?

God, tell me about it lol..

Yeah I have driven a Porsche a while back with one fitted, was very good actually, perfect for track days etc!

Cages can be cool but a pita for a daily car, i had a rear cage in one of my previous cars, worth noting my insurance flew up in price to as they assumed i must be putting a cage in my road car for a reason  :fighting2:

Are these any good to you mate??

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=110376505034

Unfortunately not, the offset is a little low on the front wheels and the rears are 10" wide..  :sad:

Wow, that would have been a mega result if they were right! Thanks very much for the heads up on that one  :happy2:

Grab a few mates and get your ass over to the 'Ring in 4 weeks with my lot - there's plenty to play with there!

Oh, and back on topic - I got thinking after your phone call last night about wheels and remembered this place.

http://www.motorcycle-exhausts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=502_519&products_id=4313

My mate bought a Ti exhaust off them for his bike which they brought in straight from Italy much cheaper than anyone else was doing them... I can't remember the exact story as to how they did it, but I think they have links with some main supplier over in Italy and bypass the usual routes?

It's possible they can do the same with the 2021's, so they may be able to get you Mg ones in smaller quantities?

Certainly worth a phone call.
Sideways yo!
