fairpay didnt realise, if you can keep various EGT temps etc down for a prolonged abuse on track and make sure you dont get issues relating to oil starvation then should be quite intresting

Imense work there my friend with the cage. With the swirl pot and all that does it mean you will have to have like a fuel cell in the boot or can you run it off the standard fuel tank?? Hope that makes sense.

so onto the front bits of the cage. the following contains the masacre of my corsa shell.



crazy man called johnathan with a plasma cutter





make some holes



feed pipe throgh from inside the car like so



make another hole





triangulation and all that stuff



commence on the other side and complete the other side.



some minor adjustment needed to fit to roll cage (not pictured)



and thats it for tonight. basically just need to weld it all up now. make plates to fill the holes that were needed to be cut for the pipes to the front turrets.

plasma cutters are my new favourite tool of the week.

thanks.

The last time i had a cut like that it were after 10 jack daniels chasers and 10 pints of peroni!

It were like seeing Jordan on thus screen after a attack of the slasher!
