Don't worry there Dave, proper cage it will have, a'la Kitkats build. May even "borrow" a few ideas, after all, we're all mates around here eh? 
Crossed post, Lee.

Sorry Notax, just remembered you've got a Sparco cage too.
They aren't crap (mine served it's purpose superbly  ), but they aren't up to Sunbmw/Mr carbon Fibre fetish's, standard.

Crossed post again!
The more I read, the more concerned I get.
You really do need help imo, Lee.
I knew a serious darts player once.
He started off with carbon shafts and very soon it became titanium flights, he drives down the motorway opening & slamming his car door repeatedly nowadays, in case it isn't closed properly.
Who knows what this CF thing could lead to.

notax wrote:Excellent news! So my cage may as well be Plasticine  It certainly looks a lot less substantial than the other works of art I've seen posted on here. At least as I'm hurtling towards a tree at 90mph upside down I can remind myself I've saved a few kilos - says the man with his arm and wrist currently broken by a tree 
Proper strong imo Notax  (50mm hoop etc), but they don't fit as well as they could if you're tall. Mine pushed the seat toward the centre of the car due to my long legs, which exaggerated the offset pedals issue. I've had worse/more exciting crashes, but I don't recall one that asked as many questions of the roll cage/door bars than the compact crash. We both walked away and drove home. m3heaven wrote:and Russ (M3 Heaven) is being so damn unreasonable and just not letting me have the black breadvan

Thanks for the peace of mind M3C. Although I'm only 5'9 I also have big problems with the cage intruding too far. Only notices when I'm wearing a helmet - have to drive with my head cocked over  Hope that fitting the new seats as low as possible will help the problem...
