    Narrow Roll Cage

    I'm still looking for either a full cage or better rear cage for my narrow SE. I have been offered one but it was made for a car with independent rear suspension and would have required a bit of work to use it.

    What have we done?

    My first kit was a Q plate, paid £4800 for it, sold it years later for £6000! I'm wondering if it's worth getting a warehouse, buying up all the Q plates and sitting on them until they make MOTing kits so hard they'll be worth a mint 😂😂 In the meantime I quite like this one..... https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/18612193 I know its listed on here too. Fab looking thing. Great spec but I know very little about those EcoBoost engines. Are they any good in a kit car?
  4. Ive got a spare as well if anyone wants it Adult full weekend pedestrian enrty no car no camping

    I'm not sure how long you've been around kits @Kingster, probably longer than my 12 years I reckon, but I can clearly remember Q plates being talked of in derogatory ways and attracting lower prices, but that now seems to be on the reverse! Mine is a 14 plate and right now I'd love a Q plate again specifically because of this MOT emissions issue we are now seeing. In fact if I sell the Carrot I will definitely be looking for a Q plate Westfield not a normal plated one. Anything for an easier kit car life!

    Folk just don’t realise that a Q plate never devalues (or stigmatises) a kit car like it would a tin-top. In fact it can only increase it’s desirability as MOTs get stricter and testers will be less likely to fudge the results 👍

    Good spot and definitely one to check. Mine showed signs of cracking after only a few years, so replaced the R6 with Gates Barricade as soon as I spotted it.

    What the postie brought today!

    Where did you get the alloy cap from? I've been looking for one for my Zetec but have yet to find one I like, or that fits tbh.

    Looks nice, enjoy! I think I spotted R6 fuel injection hose - you should plan to change that for R9 or Gates Barricade for better protection from ethanol - meanwhile keep an eye on it for cracking.

    What the postie brought today!

    Alloy oil cap which I got powder coated to match the cam cover washers. Local wheels refurbisher did not even charge for it. Just put it in the oven with other bits

    To be honest, I was dead set against a Q plate, but having a chat with my MOT man, decided it was on balance probably a positive. The lift was an idea that I stole from my nephew who had built his own garage and installed one to take his Lotus (Exige/Elise/something or other). I didn’t realise they were ‘reasonably’ priced. Plus the retailer was offering three interest free payments. Winner!

    After reading all of the recent MOT failure posts I bet you are glad it’s on a Q 👍😁 Like the garage lift idea.

    You realise of course that you could have chosen a faster orange one? 😂

    You might be right. Judith bought it a fitted cover, so it doesn’t get dusty/cold 🤣

    Pedal box cover.

    I might have the older type, 4 sided cube?

    What have we done?

    I guess we really have done it now. Collected today and really pleased after a 60 mile journey along all kinds of roads. Deaf in one ear, blind in one eye, forgot to take my hat and my driving glasses, but we came home doorless and topless (ooh, err) even with a light sprinkle of rain. Chuffed to bits, now it’s time to learn the ways of it. Expect many questions, but for now bask in the glory of our yellow ray of sunshine ☀️
