Sounds like a good idea actually, might head over there in a few hours and just sleep all night... won't have to wake up to an alarm then.

That wasn't the 'exact' design im going to get but it was the closest I could find on google in 3mins at the time. My exhaust mechanic does the cages, he has a normal pipe bender but for those b-pillar bends he uses a mechanics machine up the road from him, the rest he can do on his pipe bender. Not sure on costs yet because I haven't even got my panel damage repaired yet (even though I have half of it in primer )

Nobody talk to me.... atleast until i've had breakfast!

Why not try it 1 day next week as a test run?

When mine shattered most of the energy went up inbetween the firewall and engine, still damaged both rails, hicas and brake lines and everything else in its path. Luckily the firewall has an extra panel behind it otherwise it all would have come straight thru. The only interior damage I had was from the front propshaft being lodged in the floor below my left leg.

What year model and how many km's travelled?

Grab a bucket of ice and get on your bike duncan, i might do mine early next week soon as I get the friggin rear seat out. Started priming up the engine bay today to relieve some stress.

I'd pack my bags and head to europe to watch a couple of F1 meetings for 2wks.

Light shower expected early saturday morning then fine for the rest of the weekend.

Oh man now I gotta bribe my 3yo nephew to wash my car...

Why can't the teams that want a "B Team" instead invest in a GP3 team so drivers can move up the ranks. Then allow more teams on the F1 grid (a solid 30 cars) with no more than 6 cars using the same brand engine.

That's all well and good that it won't be raining but I personally can't see the park drying up enough in 36hrs to let us drive cars on it. The rain in that Granville/Merrylands area has been quite heavy in the last 2wks compared to further west.

Wouldn't it be easier to just race Barina's around the tracks?

A pair of Z32 afm's with plugs and an Apexi intake kit with twin pods, that's a very common choice.

I'll stand by my "low 10's is in the 400kw's region". How much power did Paul need to do his mid-low 10's?

Great writeup Mark, now do u have any tips of prepping the floor for paint just as cheaply and quickly apart from a sanding block?

Maybe a low 10 in an auto 350kw v8 but not a gtr, most are well into the 400's.

This is the basic design i'll get (subject to cams) but you get the idea...

Craved i've discussed with Eddie (p.c.e) about rollcages in the last week and will probably be getting him to do a basic 4 or 6 point cams design sometime in the next <3mths. Actually he's doing 1 for a DR30 and 180SX right now at the shop. Think he said the seamless costs him $26/m where as he can get a full length of exhaust tube for less then that.

I'd say that's a decent 30kg, maybe u could remove your drivers seat too and get a milk crate?

No point doing it if it isn't going to be done properly, likely to just inflict more harm on yourself. What Craved has said above is correct, maybe a basic 4 or 6 point cage is what your after.

How come on the application it doesn't give me a choice of which cars they are providing me to drive..... For $4k i'd rather hire Oran Park myself and piss all over the main straight all day.

Don't forget your oars!

I like the new freedom of speech approach, especially when you get someone like Ingall or Murphy whom aren't afraid to speak their mind on a good day. It sucked that the pace car stuffed up Murphy's race especially with the technology available today (although maybe it's only common sense required not technology) however what happened if their was another pace car 5 laps later and it did pickup the correct lead car and he regained that lap, silly of him to pull out of the race.

Looks like the nudge Todd Kelly gave Skaife in the first corner of race 2 cost them a pair of podiums.
