  1. Love the pics, seen the first 10 or so mins so far. Battle with the Grey one was nice, how much power is it running?

    I reckon some coilies would help reduce the body roll then you'd want to chase aero. Bit of left foot braking will help tuck into those tight left-rights and keep the diff loaded ;)

  2. I'll add my name to the 2nd list as I know this will take a lot longer to fill. (Would add name to synchro list too but as it isn't too far off, I know I won't be in the position to buy them yet)

  3. Mine is a Custom Cages cage, installed by them. Plenty of other people capable of doing it, but the difference in price was negligible back then, might be different now? (http://speed.academy/toyota-starlet-race-car-build-part-2-adding-lightness-safety/)

    A properly installed bolt in cage is more than adequate for what the majority of us would use the car for.

    I did actually read that post but I'd completely forgotten haha! Cage looks great! I'm guessing I'd have to strip out everything before handing over the car?

  4. Im out at Japfest Silverstone at 9:40 im also going to book some track time for Japfest Donington when i get paid. want to get a full day in at combe at some point this year.

    cheers nick.

    Quality, all the best for Sunday! Let's try and book the same session at Donington

    cool video amjad

    Cheers buddy!

  5. "Bolt In" cages are still going to require a certain amount of welding to ensure they don't punch through the floor in the event of a big crash. The floors on these cars are thin, really thin. They aren't even double skinned like some other Japanese cars are. So when you have a bolt in cage fitted by anyone who knows what they are doing, they will insist that some reinforcement plates are welded, it sure as shit wont pass any sort of scrutineering if it's just bolted through the floor.

    If you have a Glanza I would speak with Tegiwa, they can source Safety Devices roll cages, and i'd go for one of those over something like a Cusco.

    I wouldn't recommend anyone have a full weld in roll cage to a car that sees any real road mileage.

    As an aside, I had my roll cage installed at Custom Cages a few years ago, I dropped it off on a Monday, it was ready to collect Friday of the same week.

    I was actually going to ask whether anyone with bolt-ins had reinforcement plates put in. With those would it still be good enough you reckon? (As in would it really be that much less effective than a weld in?)

    Was yours a custom cages supplied one? I can't recall which company it was, but I remember reading somewhere that one of the firms in the UK has a bolt-in cage that doesn't fit great and requires some modification.

  6. I'll be sure to look out for you. It could've been you (if your was black) along side me on Newport Rd a few years ago. I was in a grey Rover Coupe Turbo and a black GT was along side and we both gave it some dump valve!!

    Doesn't ring a bell but it may well have been haha
