wonder would one fit in my Race Hauler... Hmm...

 

[Amos]

Does anyone know, does it have to be a NON sunroof model...?

Also are the facelift 2001 models aloud...?

It'd be tight, worth a shot though!

 

[IL]

soon modify the fez to fit.... with a Sledge

Could have a fez out and racing for the price of a new engine the westie needs!

I think thats where Roy Smyth got the idea, i was talking to him one day and he was reminiscing about him fiesta championship days!

super sunday series i think u used to call it. they were all mk1 and mk2 fiestas with a cage and seat and thats it really. 1.1 engines and steel wheels we used to fit peugot steels because they were wide and stuck out more. wos great craic. raced at bishops court and nutts corner

 

[Amos]

Sounds like great craic, I'm just too far committed in the corsa now to be changing cars. Depending on regs there is a guy doing a cage in my car atm from toome bridge direction, very sound guy. I'll ask him if someone pms me does he want his number forwarded.

Would the cage now need to be an MSA Approved cage rather than a built one?

His cages come with msa certificates if needed, he has built cages for a few of the top rally boys in the country too, if they are good enough to run in international rallies they should be fine for kirkistown.

 

[mattyd]

its for a mk3 fiesta but should fit, mk4s are basically a mk3 with rounder bodywork.

Good stuff.. as long as its done with seamless tubing etc it should do the trick anyway

 

[svensktoppen]

Lol, love to see the RMS massive still thinks of £1500:- as throw-away pocket money - crisis, what crisis

 

[IL]

Doesnt get much cheaper than that sven.

Yip he rhymed of the specs for the tubing, cold drawn seemless steel, with wall thickness and he said he wouldn't do a dash dodger cage as they are not legal for msa approved events.

wot sort of cash would entry fee be for this?? also would the races be every 2-3 weeks.

no sure for this class but likely the same as it is for any of the 500 club races.. £160 for 2x15min races, races are usually last saturday in the month, i reckon a set of tyres would do a season, i get a season from a set of R888's in the westfield.

I think demon tweaks and the like have cages for sale,

 

[mattyd]

its quite pricey all the same. would be nice if they lowered the price since its a budget series.

 

[Amos]

They are trying to get a lower price, sorted...

You could buy a car, prep it and do a season on £3k its not bad...
