Shawy... regarding your cage, is it basically like the FIA bolt in OMP cages that has a front and rear section. If so you can just buy the front half of the OMP cage that doesnt have the dash dodge bends... the plates look like their in a similar sort of place to the OMP ones and even if they're not you could shorten the arms that stretch back to the rear cage a little bit and drill new holes for the connecting tubes. Im sure you could make a front half of the cage to fit and to cut some small holes in the dash wouldnt be too hard.

Out of interest..... Who is planning on doing the last round of 2009? And whos in (or plans to at least) for 2010?

I'm wanting to do Snet but havent commited yet - want to see which cars we have running, if both I'll do a OHW, if just one Fee will use that car with her full entry.

2010 - I'd like to do a few OHW's but cant commit to a full season due to work commitments. I'd plan to do a few rounds of the Nippon Challange too

I think that might have something to do with driving ability John. Good to hear you are out to play this weekend.

I'll keep posting on both threads

Come and say hi at Snett. No-one ever talks to me at TA rounds. They come and poke round the car and chat to the guys that run the car but I just get left alone by people. I must look really unapproachable. It must be my 6'3" bodyguard physique, and intimidating stare!!! lol

(if you saw me you would understand why people call me "The Twig")

With all this talk of 650hp this, super lightweight that, it's interesting to note the two fastest subaru's are nowhere near what people seem to feel is an essential level of power & weight.

i know duncan i was just letting him know i wanted the car setting up by him as hes had a lot of experience in setting up cars for time attack plus i think the zen car outshines the gobstopper on handling

Theres only the driver left duncan and i'm confident i won't let the car down too much
