I saw these pic's a little while ago.
You can see the way the car steps out to the left under brakes. The rear left bushes are flogged which was causing this. The lower control arm bolt which had almost fallen out also didnt help. Always check all bolts and nuts before going to the track. If I took the car straight to the track it would have been a nasty accident if the bolt dropped at high speed into a corner.
The cage has been fitted and tacked into place. I have the Tig welding guru coming over next weekend to tie it all into place.
So far I have removed about 170kg, seam welded the chassis, tig welding a 'bond roll cage' into place.
The rewire is next with an expert found who will be relocating the wiring from the rear of the car the cabin.
Its taking time but I will get there.

Im working on the cage after work every day atm. Its almost completed. It will ba a ten point cage welded to the the chassis rails and strut towers. I have come up with a way to tie the cage into the rear strut towers without going through the rear window. It looks good on paper. Peter at bond roll bars pointed out a few ways to minimise the vauge effect sw20's have in the rear. I will pick up a fair amount with the cage then add a few more braces to the engine to complete the exercise.
Im using 2-3mm lexan for the rear window,rear quarter windows and targa tops. I will simply make up a aluminium frame for the the targa the fix to it.
Another mods are relocating the intercooler and the addition of a air box with both finding air from ducts on the roof.
Also fabricating new caster rod mounting points.
I have a A1 welder working with me at the moment. He is making life very easy with the cage.
I havent been in contact with mr2oz as yet but will in the near future.

Make sure you manage a few pic's or footage while at Silverstone

Cheers

Not as yet. I will be ready in a few weeks to check the wheels.
The cage is complete, wiring is completely out. This will be rewired this weekend.
We found some ways to reduce weight a little more, removed all unnessessary plumbing and a few other bits and pieces.
All coming along quite well.

No front bumper support. Weighs too much!

I have a few more pic's of the project. Hopefully the wiring will be finished this weekend. We have removed close to 8kg of wiring which is a great gain.
The lexan rear quarter windows and rear windows was a 9kg gain. The lexan TT will save at least 12kg.
The doors are stripped out the same as the UK '1080kg race car' with a weight of 10kg which is more than the fibreglass doors but good value for an 1 hour of elbow grease.
A few weeks and then its test time at EC.

I have updated the file as of last night so there are new pictures.
I have some footage of the build and will have in car and out of car when I make it to the track.
Really hope we can get the wiring completed and have it running on Sunday afternoon.

We have almost finished the wiring for the car. It will be start up this weekend. I can say there is a HUGe amount to be saved by doing the wiring harness. Its well above the 8kg which has been stated in other posts. I can fill two milk crates with the unnessessary wiring, more when I eventually fit a dedicated ECU.

I also happened to notice there is a 'Blitz' K1280V turbo fitted to the car. I have read a little about it and found its a reasonable bolt on for the 3SGTE.
