  1. I will post up costs once I have made the first cage up as Im not sure how much tube I will use to make one and the costs of powdercoating/painting. Each cage will be test fitted in my supra and not made from a jig so they will be a 100% Fit
  2. I have spoken to the mods with regards to making a batch of roll cages up and its been confirmed. Im looking at making up the half cages simular to the Do-luck (seen in top left pic below) Looking at some pictures of it it seems to be purely a show piece, with little protection if the car was to roll. Im looking at making a bolt in half cage that will retain the rear seats made from 2" cds tube I can make them from T45 if needed, theres a 10% reduction in weight using t45 over CDS. I can have these powder coated, sprayed to any colour, or even chromed. Brackets for NOS bottles ect and additional braces. Im just looking into what people want really I have been playing about with a mock cage in my supra but dont want to carry on with it if its not what you are after. I will also look into making show cages from highly polished ally if thats what you want. This is just a mock up cage to make sure I can achieve a nice sweeping bend with the tooling I have, once im happy with it ill make one up from CDS painted and fitted to my supra with pictures
  3. 100% manual you can see the stop restarts along it every 4" lovey piece of work though
  4. The dash board lights work its the lamp in the lining that has nothing, none of the buttons do anything on the unit as if there is no power going to it but seems odd how they are illuminated
  5. Bit of a beast http://www.bigbikeriders.com/48cyl.htm http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WXGYWSIePf4
  6. Since owning the car the heater and aircon has never worked along with the rear screen demist and the interior lights. After a 15 mile drive im starting to sweat out the heater unit has the illumination part working (green LEDs) but not one of the controlls activate, I have tried another unit that I know works and still the same. the whole dash has been messed about with so im not sure where to start. I have checked the fuses Im guessing they are just the ones in the drivers kickwell they all seem fine might pull them and double check this weekend is there any other possible causes?? are the interior lights part of the heater loom?
