My God the cage reminds me of nascar
Hopefully you don't need that cage when it's needed but hats off to the guy who's making it, looks a fantastic job indeed.
The cage is or will be tagged to 8.5 but the drivers cell is an addition and not necessarily required but it's almost a half way between an 8.5 & a 7.5.
I continue to be even more impressed every time I receive some pictures.

Drivers cell is now complete as well as the whole main front cage, next step is to knock off the spot welds holding it in place and dropping the cage out of the back to fully weld round the tubes

Looks safe that's for sure

I think Ben is planning on doing the back half next, time to choose some coilovers [emoji16]

Love it mate top job
No offence but your previous cage was a bit if a let down to the engine spec but fuck me this new cage is amazing if i was you id be just sitting in it for hours when its home
None taken, I didn't make it but I must of been blind, it was just hard to accept after spending around £1800 that the work was shit, lesson learnt I guess.

Mate what a truly stunning build that will be.
Can not wait to see more in the future.
Were did you get that front piece made is it a mould you took or an off the shelf thing .
My friend has his own carbon fibre shop he did alot for ginetta racing and that would look so nice in carbon fibre i wont to make one is there away of a mould or the place to buy the piece from.
Obviously if its your mould we would pay to use it and give you a free carbon one also.
Cheers ben👍

I'd love to discuss some carbon work however [emoji4]

Fuck me that cage looks the business, impressive stuff :cool:
Cheers Rich, hopefully some updates coming soon, just ordered some custom rear coilovers so I'd expect we will see some tubes in the rear next.

Yay.
nice work. is the 2.2 block open deck? do you have much strengthening done to it? i am getting a forged engine built this year and running a Gtx3076r but trying to decide if i should use a z20leh block and wedge it or use a c20xe block as its closed deck then just get under piston oil jets fitted.
Yes it's open deck but wedges have been installed to strengthen it.Quote:

simply the sole reason for me building mine with a c20 is just for the closed deckQuote:

Sorry to hack the thread but any chance of carbon roof skins??
^ I feel there would be a market for them
Carbon roof skins is something I'm looking to do myself, hoping to get my hands on a new skin soon to make a mould from

I believe i bought the last new skin for me. Haven't seen anywhere with them in stock since...
I know somebody with one he said I can have

We decided to ditch the single Kirkey in favour of a pair of these Kirkey seats

Very nice mate
I called in to see Ben at Hangar 30 the other day as I was in the area, back half is looking awesome as is the drivers cell which I seen in the flesh for the first time, very happy with the work indeed.

Looks awsome mate .
Brilliant, coming on well!
Some serious scaffolding going on there. :d :thumb:
Superwonderful!
As said, it looks awesome.
Has anymore progress been made on this?
I'm currently waiting for some custom billet rear hubs to be made before Ben can crack on with the back axle and rear end.
But here's a few pics to keep the ball rolling.

Is 2018 the year for this nova to debut
Who knows, all comes down to time and money [emoji383]
A recent promotion at work may increase my income but it also increases the amount of time and effort I spend there, catch 22 really but once it's home from Hangar 30 I can start putting some bits on it so at least it will look like we are getting somewhere.
