Pilot Pete Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Think I will wait till the end of the season and see if any 'packages' come up for sale To be fair thats probably the best idea, things will be slightly at the end of the season as well. I'm just tryiing to get you tied into it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your seam welded pete? An old CRX racer has many benefits , seam welded cage , no underseal etc .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your seam welded pete? An old CRX racer has many benefits , seam welded cage , no underseal etc .... I think my car is a bit like slippy's corrolla, its had a prang and someones turned it into a racecar. Agreed, a CRX challenge car is the answer, its just finding one! Must admit, the "custom cage made by a local fabricator" puts me off if you want to race it. I would maybe see if you can get a "scrute" to check it over. Dont want to be lasing out £700 or whatever it would be for another rollcage! Apart from that, it sounds a nice car! The one I saw at cadwell in the paddock looked a bit of a weapon.

slippy Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Cheers Perksy Harv agreed a CRX racer would be an ideal and relatively ceap little weapon as Pete suggest they are rarer than a geordie lass with a full set of teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boblog Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 full custom weld in cage made by a local fabricator, sounds to me like a car some bloke has chucked a few bits in ..... You are not seriously telling me that the the MSA scrutineers in your championship allow that type of scrap to pass and actually race are you They should all be banned and thrown on the scrap heap, if you want to race SAFELY, it does not want to be "home made", all of these cars are 100mph plus so surely nothing but the best should pass. I have seen it on both counts where a car has passed scutineering, crashed and then organisers being sued as the said vehicle should not have passed, then on the other side of the coin I have seen people going mad because there car has failed for being a death trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All cage's are fabricated, you'd just have to go and see whats in the tin. The rest of the car looks ok to me Slipp, that fezza coule be the kiddie, already has your engine in it!
