Ah yes that's right, I remember seeing a few running the same wheels as me. So yeah definitely a good reason to go up to 15's.

you said youd have a cage in... i said you wouldnt
so i'm still right..you dont have cage in.
Now, I could reply with some defense, but really what is the point, you've already proved to me, and anyone else that has read this that you are a cock.
So if I were to do the same to a S14 silvia, would you call it a roll bar? Or a half cage? completely welded in, with bolt in door bars, sadly my phone has died and all my pics are on there.

You' e both been cocks.
We're not talking about an S14 Silvia in this case and you didn't call it a half cage or a rollbar here. And even if you said "cage" when talking about an S14 I expect most people would assume full cage as SLYDIT did in this case.
He was a cock in the way he called you on it, you're being a cock in dragging it out. Can we just leave it here now and you both stop being cocks for now?

Chris, I'm scared to click those links.... I think I'll trust my instincts and avoid clicking
If you're doing carbon stuff then you better make some door cards for yourself because I think that'll be the easiest thing to start with

So track day yesterday was... Eventful. The car started off in the 1.36 area, knocked it down to consistent 1.30 and ran a best of 1.29
Things to tackle, are the tyres, they were by far my biggest problem, just not gripping, suspension, had some killer body roll, and more weight removal and I should be getting closer to my target of 1.23

Forgot to say chris, remove the front park lights next time you race. It will get a lot more cool air into the engine bay.
