Have to agree with you :D
I cannot get enough of caning it around Mondello and fair play to Paul for building the car.

[Plug]

looking nice and low on the last pic :thumb:

[BIGS]

First few pics dont work :( but the rest looks great. And im happy you said the cage is custom cages. Im going to be ordering the same one from them next week. how do you feel the cage is as a whole? Does it seem to be a good fit?

[JimmyH]

hi jimmy, what have your results being this year so far, its great to see you out there givin the jap stuff a race...

I have my time down to 104.8 but this is on a set of toyo 888's that were on the car when I bought it off Paul so there well worn lol
I'll have a new set of kumhos for the next round so hoping this will improve my time.

Edit:oh yeah and I only learned how to use the dogbox properly at round 3 as my clutch cable snapped lol

[JimmyH]

The pics should be working now.
The custom cage is a good job and good fit,I didn't fit it myself as I wanted the MSA cert so had a coded welder fit it for me.

[BIGS]

Yea they are working now :D Just a awsome looking car it really is. Well sounds like its a good cage so ill 100% be getting it then. Our cars will be like twins when mine is done :p . just another colour and im not having a cut out in the bumper

[JimmyH]

Ahh that explains how you came across my car lol have you got a link to any pics.
Didn't realise ,you'll be able to get custom cages to fit the cage for you so it will be 100%

nothing wrong with that time mate at all, what time are the k20 civics doin it in?? what class do you run in?

59 secs is winning events in the pro isnt it?

Yea one problem with that its along way from my house. Plus im fitting a fibreglass roof to mine. So when the cage is done ill be cutting the roof off to do the bits that you cant get to from inside the car. I havent got any pics of your car. just the ones ive posted already

Yeh there's nothing wrong with my times but they could be improved,just a matter of having everything right on the car including me which costs money :roll:
I run in the pro class.Dean Reilly in the gold 318bhp civic got a 103.2 at round 3 in club class.
At the moment there are only me and two other civics that are n/a in pro.

Where are you located,if you need a hand setting up your car give me a shout :thumb: (I presume it's a nova :) )

I meant pics of your car :thumb:
I'd say it would be worth your while to travel and get them to do it,the only reason I didn't was because it would have meant numerous boat journeys.

I bought my gearbox off a fella who owns a furniture shop called Emmet up your way too.

Yea i might be worth while but ive got a very good welder in the family thats offered to do my welding for free now, so im not paying a thing to have it welded in. Plus his welding is as good as theres so no need to spend that money. that can go towards my engine

He are a few old pics of it, im not updating it till im finshed
