Just read this from start to finish, the car is epic, have saw the video's as well, when you get your car running at 0.6 bar it will immense, great project m8 hope everything goes well. Will look awesome with the cage in!

You'll be happy to know all box section comes with it too and most of the fixings, so looking like an easier job too :)

Colour isn't decided yet no, but I need to decide quickly as its gettin fitted in the next few weeks!

6 point bolt in (although im welding in) is about £470 delivered, the weld in cage doesnt look as good imo
 
  SQ5
Yea as Bomber said! It just doesn't come painted. So I'm having to fit it, take it out, paint it then bolt it back in! Coming with the box section really helps too!

hmmm I may even go for an OMP cage now... How much delivered Danny, is it 6-point?
i have found peter lloyd to be cheapest they will do the omp bolt in cage delivered within 2 weeks for £440 including vat im ordering mine tomorrow :)
danny is it only the floor plated that need welding or do you have to weld the door bars in aswell? also can you fit the cage without cutting into the dash?
 
  SQ5
The door bars do need to be cut to length and the bracket welded on to both the cage and the bar. I think it will fit without cutting the dash as by the looks of the bends, but I think that where the front bolts to the back part of the cage it is adjustable so maybe you can do it both ways?

I shall be ordering one in the new year... PLR looks the be the best price (Cheers for the tip Hughesclio ;))

I will be getting a meter length tube to make a harness bar running through the diagonal on the rear section of the cage.

All powder coated in orange

And "try" to weld it in very neatly not too much burn the powder coating LOL ;)

Fitment of my OMP cage a year ago was crap, hopefully they've improved a bit since. The 'footplates' that came with mine were a joke too, which is why I've cut it all out and doing it again properly..
 
  Qashcow
ive got no problem cutting and shutting mine to fit tbh, ive heard theyre not a great fit though. harness bar FTW!! i bought 2.8meters, think im going to go silly with the stuff lol
 
  e91 330d/type r mini
just ordered my cage from peter lloyd racing i got it slightly wrong the full delivered price was £450, onlyl a little saving over yb racing but every little helps :) cant wait to get it now, i should really start a project thread for mine but im too lazy lol, let us know how the fitting goes danny
 
  SQ5
Done nearly 5000 miles and car is still running well.

Just put some Ph2 rear lights on and changed over a cracked front light! Cage will be going in in the next few weeks which means all the insides being sprayed too :)
 
  Qashcow
Pmsl, that's more than I've done since last January! Glad it's going strong still with some decent mileage getting on it
 
  SQ5
Not updated this in a while!

Had a trackday last weekend, it was fun, first time running full boost, braking times were a lot bigger on the straights, was hitting 130 at the back straight at Snetterton. I had killed the brakes within an hour, fluid had boiled and was just no good! Need to get it sorted!

Also killed another driveshaft so the front will be getting raised 10mm at the weekend and another driveshaft fitted. Cage wil also be going in! Once the cage is in I can finally start stripping the interior out, as the inside is being sprayed black. Then hopefully my new Bimarco Futuras will be ready for when its done and they will be in along with the cage.

Any ideas on cage colours?

Car will then be off the road for a couple of weeks while it gets prepped ready for its new colour ;)
