Oh, meant to mention.........

Looks like some effing clown, at some point in the cars life, has run up the bonnet and onto the roof, denting it beyond repair, maybe a case for a carbon roof then............... :wink: :wink: :wink: :P

Sorry Notax, just remembered you've got a Sparco cage too. :shock: :oops:

They aren't crap (mine served it's purpose superbly 8)), but they aren't up to Sunbmw/Mr carbon Fibre fetish's, standard. :wink:

The more I read, the more concerned I get. :wink:

You really do need help imo, Lee. :P

I knew a serious darts player once. :shock:

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. :shock: :lol:

Excellent news! So my cage may as well be Plasticine :lol: 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 :lol: :lol:

Proper strong imo Notax 8) (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.

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...
