Title: Following on from NeilM's inspiration....
Post by: tony_danza on February 05, 2011, 11:43:58 am: Clutter's got cage!

Custom made for Oulton park's fleet of 197's by The Roll Cage People (http://www.therollcagepeople.com/), bolts into 6 points of the car's seatbelt mountings and sold to me for the princely sum of £100 - bargain Clutternomics!

Everything clutter seems to be cheap as chips, e.g. someone's selling R888s at only £100 a corner, you could almost run them as summer tyres.

Post by: Janner_Sy on February 05, 2011, 12:34:18 pm: what size tyres do they run. the fabia runs 205/40R17's. no much availability in tghat size. im thinking of wider rims and a more common size tyre would be cheaper in the long run

Post by: tony_danza on February 05, 2011, 01:30:19 pm: 215/45/17 although 225s are no problem either.

Post by: tony_danza on February 05, 2011, 02:28:54 pm: Hee hee, I'm in serious mode now the season is starting. That big lump of a battery hanging off the bumper is next on the hit list.

Post by: theo on February 05, 2011, 03:56:48 pm: Looks good. Makes me miss my caged trophy. I got a similar bargain from the MSV 182's back in the day!

Post by: tony_danza on February 05, 2011, 03:57:59 pm: The bench isn't that heavy, say 15-20kgs? I'm not sure you'd really notice it, but it all helps.

Yes, you can't really ride the torque like with the Golf, it's really involving.

Post by: Janner_Sy on February 05, 2011, 05:04:12 pm: So you relocating the battery or just going for a lightweight one?
Title: Re: Following on from NeilM's inspiration....
Post by: tony_danza on February 05, 2011, 07:31:32 pm: Lightweight first, relocate if I go V6 airbox... which I probably will.
