AM Engineering has started on my cage.. which is a mean feat considering today's his birthday and his missus is expected to give birth any minuite now haha

[kitto]

You don't dick around do you haha

[Simon-S14]

update pics

[Simon-S14]

some more pics.

Front legs done, body tied in to chassis at front, rear stays and diagonals does. getting there! next will be the nascar style intrusion bars

[Simon-S14]

more pics.

the roof doesnt have a cross in it mainly due to the fact i wont be able to fit in it since im a tall bastard. so having cage steel hitting helmet is not ideal. the next best we could do was a single bar down the centre, tied in with the roof.

also added some more rear bars for extra strength. rear stays are tied to the strut towers for max strength.

i quite like that drivers side intrusion bar, keep the progress up

[Simon-S14]

new rad for the s14... its a Griffin 700mmx 480mm x 76mm race rad

[Simon-S14]

rear rad mount and tube frame work has started now.

[mungy]

wow with that cage simmo it looks like the best place to draw the air from for the rad is the quarter panels right under the quarter window not the quarter windows themselves..

[Simon-S14]

yeah its looking that way... bit of a bitch to get ducting through the two cages legs if i choose the quarter window path haha. if i do it though therear 1/4's im gonna need some custom fibreglass work done... got any suggestions?

[Miguelone]

Mr2 vents...

[mungy]

Yea I know how to get the fiberglass work done but the problem is it costs a few hundred to make the moulds and I don't have any left lol. Might be cheaper to fabricate it from sheet metal, rivets and auto glue.

[Simon-S14]

i might do a boot intake instead... might be more effective i think

pretty much done in the rear in terms of tube work.. there's rear 1/4 reinforcement, a jacking point, a rear bash bar, the frame for rad all done. just need to do ducting and fans.

^looks like much fun was had

why not feed air form the boot lid, then just thermo fans

The air flow over the boot will actually make it harder to suck air through, vents in the quarter glass or panels actually work a little like an air ram getting more air to the rad.
