chassis rail my friend...a lot less flex. An inner wheel arch is a single layer of thin sheet metal. Ive also see 1st hand how easily an inner wheel arch folds up in a crash.

:) umm practically all jap bolt in cages are bolted to the inner wheel well.

its not a difficult task mate, the cage is made for an r32 so its only going to fit in a specific way.

best thing to remember is if it doesnt look right it probably isnt.

test fit 500 times. drill once.

legal for what?

a jap bolt in cage will not be legal for circuit racing, in fact they probably wont even let you run events that *dont* require a cage

There is some verbage in the new CAMS manual (2008) to the effect that if the event you are in does not require a roll cage then they cannot knock you back for having a non compliant one. Unless, ofcourse, they regard it as being a danger.

schedule J of the cams manual

"9. NON-COMPLYING SAFETY CAGES

In cases where the type and/or status of the event does not require an automobile to be fitted with any form of safety cage, the use of structures which do not comply with these regulations is permitted unless the scrutineers believe the structure to be of unsafe construction."

ie....the event's scruitineers can knock back a non-approved cage. In this case you would be OK with no cage, but not a non-approved one. Just be careful thats all, all you need is one difficult scruitineer and you could be knocked back

Is it possible to have a cage that still allows access to the rear seats, and easy access into the vehicle? I want to put a cage into my next car eventually and use it for various racing, but I want to keep it practical as a daily. Am I just dreaming again?

There is a pdf file on the QLD transport site regarding the legality of roll cages. I think only half cages are able to be approved?? but still have to have a mod plate. Your car will have to be re-registered as a 2 seater. The pdf also says about no sharp points, and something about it having to be padded?

Should be a similar document from other states transport authority...

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
