Naa, no training. More just got some good friends who are really good at this stuff, Aaron and Jonny. Aaron has just finished putting a rollcage in my car, an excellent job. It's an 8 point cage, and now is painted in 2 pac black. On the weekend I located the aftermarket computer in the car (hopefully for the last time), and used a bit of stainless to make a blanking bit for just underthe dash, where the stereo normally sits. I can't fit a stereo there, because the firewall is recessed, and the heater sits a lot further back. I'll try get a few pics of the cage up this week. Report

August 1, 200719 yr Author comment_189717 It was going to be a daily driver, and to some extent will be. Nice Saturday drives with my wife will be great too. As it is, my two children won't be able to fit in the back any more, but the intentions of using it as a family car were not very often anyway. The more I look at my car, the more I seem to be willing to compromise luxury (if that is ever a true term for early corollas) for a good handling car. And the idea of doing more track time.... The difference in handling from before the cage and after was noticeable straight away. Going over the same bump/gutter on my mate's longish driveway where the cage was put in was very noticeable. And the car was already seam welded. It went over it before the cage with a minor shake, and after the cage was put in it was definately tighter. Have made a custom strut brace for it too. It goes between the struts and triangulates back to the firewall, where some more reinforment metal was welded in. Haven't put that on yet, though. It is powder coated the same colour as the super lites. Report

I know you can't for PRC. :D *edit*: On re-reading you don't actually say you are building it for 3J. But if you are the question still stands. :n: Edited August 1, 200719 yr by Redwarf Report
August 1, 200719 yr Author comment_189735 Not sure if the strut brace is OK'ed or not on that one, Redwarf. More interested in club days and driving/racing it for fun, rather than competiton. Report
