Go on then, lets have a few of those Race, Rally, Sprint, Hillclimb, Trackcars, replica race cars or whatever...

The more pictures of them in action the better.

which unfourtunately led to;





and means we're now building;





with our own cage design (tested in the red one above!);



Not too far off now, needs front end painting, and find weird electrical gremlin causing engine to not run. Myself and a mate have both finished uni now so hopefully she'll be out on the stages this year!

Just curious, but why have you designed your own cage when there's plenty of tried and tested ones on the market already?

Thanks for the kind words guys smile

myself and a mate built the whole car, his dad owns a Tube and Cage business, that produce cages for Prodrive, M-Sport etc. As for our own design, one we wanted weld in, as its safer, and our cage fits more snugly to the shell than (we believe) any other cage for the 205 out there at the moment. We're both welders/fabricators, so having computerised measuring hardware (FARO arm) and CNC bending facilities, it seemed silly not to give it a go. I've probably made it seem like quite a jolly affair, but rest assured it conforms to all relavent regulations. Finally, we both felt double doorbars are safer than single, as we used to have.

I've got a build thread I'll dig out from somewhere, haven't updated in ages though! We're going to be rallying it in the 205 challenge, if it ever gets done! As per the old red one.

I designed the livery/paint, hoping it will turn out good wink

Do you race the MR2 with the MX5's in the Ma5da Racing series? or has that split now?
