That first sub frame was quick enough let alone 3 more... Great work on getting through it all! |

Not much to update this week, been flat out at work and the weather isn't good for getting out there to work on things. Still been buying bits and getting smaller stuff, also been playing with the models a bit. Thinking of putting a flag and a scoop on it - but not too convinced yet.

Again, great 3d skills, really helps visualise the project. Does the frame hang lower then the front valance, or have you cut the valance down? |

I haven't done anything since may. Been too busy working and occupying my weekends withmore fun activities. I still have parts being cut, and welding out of bits is being done by professionals, so yheres still a little 'background' stuffhappening, just nothing to see at the moment. |

Small update: Got my subframe back from having the main structural welds done. Still a few here and there for me to do and some tidy-up work, but should be easy enough. 
I'm also thinking that with the limited usage the car will get, I'll investigate using it for the occasional club sprint / hillclimb day. If that happens, I'll make a rollcage for it. This one would be easy - meets ADR requirements for road use: 
This one may not - I'll have to do more reading as front cages are a grey area on pre-88 model cars.

***extremely limited knowledge of ADR's and somewhat .... OK, rather inebriated** Re: Third image.. Shouldn't it be legal as long as it's not directly in the way of people and padded to the hilt? |

Theres a mini with a VTEC and full cage registered in Qld. The owner says it is possible just difficult. |

Is that the silver 850? That was built before the Victorian cage laws were updated. I'm sure it can be done too, I'll just with the engineer on this one if I take it much further. |

If I remember correctly my engineer said that you can have a full cage if its a club car which I'm assuming means on club plates... If you get one of those cages bent up count me in for one |

Hey Harley, Love the CAD work mate, wish I could do that, would help me a lot with my conversion at the moment. I've been looking right into rollcages for my build (I'm in QLD) and after looking around it seems only a 4 point cage from B pillar back is legal, not sure if you found that out but thought I may as well mention it. Here is the NCOP (National Code of Practice) on LK modifications, QLD is also on VSB14 now, which it wasn't until around mid last year I believe, which now means engine conversions fall under a new modification code LA2 "Performance Engine Installation". - NCOP LK (inc Roll Cages on pg 39) - All VSB14 NCOP Documentation Cheers, Sam |
