My Mk2 Ibiza GTi 20VT Track Car Project *The end is here*

[Martin M]

You have a PM Dave.

Hopefully it should finish it off nicely!

 

[jenk]

Oh no, I think I know what it is

 

[roly]

I know what it is

I'm looking forward to the road trip in the tranny van

 

[andyj]

I haven't got a clue what it is..... so I'm looking forward to the pics

 

[DanGB]

a girlfriend?

Sorry

 

[tris]

a girlfriend?

Sorry

LOL put that with rolys "go and get her in a transit"

 

[crezz]

what is this all about?

 

[Martin M]

Rather than turning the thread into a guessing game, i will let on to what it is.

I had a heads up from a fellow member (Cheers Stu ) back in November that an Ex-Rockingham Custom Cages roll cage from a Mk3 was going to be up for sale. A few PM's later revealed that it wouldn't be ready until Feb/March time but if i wanted it then it was mine. I'll be picking it up on the 7th and aim to have the rear hoop in for the BHP Show at Lydden in May. Still not sure what i'm going to do with the front half yet, as ideally i'd like it to go through the dash.

 

[jenk]

I was right then, I want one damm you

Good to see it's going in a car intended for track use, I would hate to see one sold to be used in a show car.

 

[andyj]

Nice one Martin, good to see it's being put to 'proper' use

Will sort them drawings out tonight for you fella, sorry did get 2mins last night to look for them.

Going to at more details about the BHP show, is there tracktime???

 

[Martin M]

Thanks Dave.

Yeah there's track time, the thread is here: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=254220

Nice one on the cage mate. . Good to see that its been used in the way it was designed for.

Would love a cage in mine but cant justify it, hence why I bought a show cage instead.

 

[Dave_R]

Here you go, if you want them a bit better then send me your email address. Sorry bits have been cut off when I was scanning them?????

These are for the front and middle feet
4-off

These are for the rear feet (Part 1)
2-off

Rear feet Part 2
4-off

They will need to be grinded a bit to fit the rear turrets, look on my project thread of the photos and you see what I mean

Part 2 will be welded to the open sides of part 1 to make the box section.

 

[F2 Stu]

takes me back when I did mine, although I had a slightly different approach!

Spot on, thanks Dave. I did have a look back on your thread at how yours were made. Such a tidy install!

Haha, how did you do yours Stu?

 

[F2 Stu]

Apart from setting the car alight, the front feet plates where a different shape, and the backs where a bit of a pig to get right. If you want to keep the headlining the it'll be a tight squeeze

 

[Martin M]

Haha! Might have to call in a favour from you if you fancy a bit of welding? For the moment i'd like to keep the headlining, just worried about it clearing the sunroof at the moment too.

 

[crezz]

if you ever get another heads up...let me know...pronto
