its a proper alloy one, not a showcage

its not the best in the world but didnt cost too much so i thought i may as well go for it

inspected block and cylinder 4 (or 1 depending on how you look at it) is scorn pretty badly

im going to attempt to rehone it, but i think its too bad a score

So i could either get a new block, or get it overbored to 1.9

the problem with that is 1.9 pistons and rods are the best part of £1300!!

may aswell get a vr6 now, i could tell you wanted mine at the meet

seriously though if you got the dollar to overbore it and all that fo shizle that would be awesome!

im just going to get a new block

i want to get it running before i do anything ridiculous to it

Thats a bummer about the scored block m8, should be able to sell it on to some1 wanted to overbore it though

And no alloy rollcage is 'proper' lol

"9.19 Roll over bars/cages
Aluminium alloy roll over bars and roll cages
are banned in all forms of motorsport where a
roll cage is required to be fitted. Full roll cages
as per drawing 2 below are mandatory in all
classes."

When was it aprroved then?

alloy cages are not proper cages, if they were im pretty sure ALOT of people would be using them for racing as it would weigh alot less

Im not going to argue with that.

It has the 'Msa Approved' sticker on the side so i was assuming it was

it may infact be not alloy but the seller thought it was and misinformed me

Also this turned up

trial fitted;



looks awsome

i need to trim the ends down to match the radius of the front panel though.

If it is alloy and is approved it must have been quite along time ago.

Carbon splitter looks cool, but like said above, wont take much to damage it, it wont shatter though if its proper carbon and not covered glassfibre?
