S1 cage etc

[foz01]

Made the decision the go for the full cage, in stallion had been, interesting!

Here's a couple of photos for those interested.

Rear wasn't too bad bar a seized bolt in the rear stay hats mounts to the small alloy insert that sits up the longeron.



The front has been a nightmare, all this lot has had to come out



Also discovered a knackered Nitron so that's away for a rebuild and a snapped spring, all making the 28th trackday unlikely

Looks quite straighforward.

and thats all got to fit back in the dash

[foz01]

It's simple but getting the rollbar out and the new rollbar in was a nightmare, cutting out the bulkhead makes
It easier but that's a whole other world of pain!

The dash looks a lot worse than it actually is to be honest!

Good effort!

[foz01]

all went back together a treat, and it all seems to still work

re-bleed the chargecooler in its new location and a few other bits and pieces and we are good to go"

Good progress..

Busy tonight fitting new springs to the new suspension-quantum- lots of good reports so will see how they are

I swapped the springs out from a road biased set to full on race-

850lb rears with 350lb helpers

650 fromts with 250 helpers

Pretty extreme for a car what weighs about 750kgs
Kitchen table using the kids ruler..


Spring comparison, 550lb vs 850- picture stuggles to show how much thicker the higher rate spring is to be honest.



All finished can't wait to try them out.
