Hmm right, been thinking. I'm going to sell the cage. May well be on eBay this weekend. I need to money for a diff which I think will get far more use.

Jonny the Zeitronix is brilliant, anyone wanting a datalogging system I would recommend this to. Simple to use and set up, lots of free inputs for other gauges too. I found it on eBay, but then bought it through the guys external shop on the net because it was cheaper there.

 

[Jonny95 SXE]

have you a square gauge or dial for it joe?

good call on the diff... rollcages are great in a track environment but cause allot of damage to you if you are not wearing a helmet... ie on the road use.

 

[joehirth]

Square multi functional display.

I hope it's the right decision. Gotta be done really

 

[roly]

Deffo a good shout on the diff, can't imagine trying to drive a car with that much power without one, i've always said the diff is the best mod i've ever done to mine.

 

[PhilW]

Yeah the diff is up there with the best mod on my car too.

Diff before cage every time, good move.

 

[joehirth]

Quite excited about getting a diff now!

 

[Jonny95 SXE]

wavetrac/pelequin? sqs? quaiffe?

 

[joehirth]

Peloquin methinks. Only heard good things about them and the bolt kit/ gaskets which are included do it for me.

 

[Jonny95 SXE]

if you need someone for a GB let me know!

 

[joehirth]

Will do Jonny! Not sure of anyone offering a GB currently though, also last time it was offered it was more than I could buy it individually so wasn't worth it.

Today's progress; clearing up the rest of the sound deadening from the interior. More heat gun, loads of petrol and brush/ cloth combo...yuck. All good though, looks like this now

Tomorrow I want to get the angle grinder out to cut out the OEM side seat rails and middle column which separates the front/back footwells.

a nice new flocked dash would be the nuts mate. i have one here freshly flocked for you

 

[joehirth]

Pretty messy work today, I gave up after this because I need some better eye and ear protection to carry on.

 

[Berg]

Are you welding new seat rails in Joe?

 

[joehirth]

Maybe...well a good friend of mine might well be

 

[IbizaAlex]

Maybe...well a good friend of mine might well be

Once he gets the parts together

 

[joehirth]

Fat chance...lol

 

[joehirth]

Some more progress from today's cutting, getting really bored and frustrated with it now

Passengers side inner

Drivers side inner

Drivers side outer, this one really pi$$ed me off so I'm not sure if I took it a little far with the cutting

Anyone got any input?

How're you finding the grinding mate? Is it difficult? I'm attempting it on bolt heads tonight! Ha!
