Kaan W Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Have it chromed to match the shiney bay. It'll really stand out at shows etc when the bonnet is open. It's not really an option if I want the car done before summer,it would mean stripping the paint off polishing each part etc etc then chrome. Would probably cost more then the cage itself too. I'll leave it black more than likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 If chrome isn't a possibility then as you say I would just leave it black, as any other colour would contradict the rest of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 same colour as the car IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'd say yellow. The right shade will complement the exterior nicely. I actually thought yellow before i read your post lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdMorris Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I'm torn between the colour of the cage, do I leave it black or go with an outrageously bright yellow or something? Depends what you're doing with the rest of the interior I suppose. Any hints for us....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poshmalc Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Stay subtle mate, don't ruin that awesome car with lairyness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 I was planning to do a lairy colour for the interior something like bright yellow or orange all over, door cards, seats, interior trim, dash etc. So maybe black for the cage will break it up a bit?

Big Supes Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I can't stand colour coded interiors, although I'm partial to the seats (only) being different to the norm. If it was my car, and I felt the need for some lairy colour, I'd go for bright yellow or orange stitching and some foot well mats to match.... ... but, it isn't my car and I'm not the one who has invested so much into it.

berg Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 For me theres nothing subtle about this car, the exterior looks mad, the engine bay looks mad, definately make the interior equally mad A black cage would almost go un noticed on a car like this, yellow could work well, but same colour as the car would look good in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lairy cage will be better then the interior .. like a strong green or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Cage should match the interior leather IMO. I'd go Tiffany&Co green or a blue that matches the timing belt. I think a yellow or orange would be too much to live with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks for your input guys, I'm going to wait until after summer to put the cage in and get it done along with the interior otherwise it's just creating more work. This gives me plenty of time to properly plan the colours of each individual part of the interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra matt Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Would you not won't this fitted before you get the car back as your running so much power I would emagine the chassis will need all the strengthing it can get, how long till she runs mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be much longer until it's running! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Are that's sensible look forward to the thoughts on the stroker after the drive home, have you got to run it in for any amount of time mate I guess it will be run in on the dyno I'm not entirely sure to be honest, but I'll let Lee sort all that out.

Guest Nicholas Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 You must be getting excited Kaan, I'd be interested to hear your feedback on the auto setup, I've had so much trouble with Tilton clutches holding 1500hp+ even Tilton recommend I just manually pull my car out of the garage, onto the road and never drive the car in stop start traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 awesome thread! its taken me ages to go through! Thanks Is it an SRD built box your using Kaan? It's not but I'm going to have one built once I'm all up and running, the box at the moment is a stage 2 Titan transmission. Membership expired, shock&horror Nice updates, though I know I didn't realise it was expired until the other day as I've not been on due to no updates yet Its been expired a while now? His on holiday right or have I missed something on faceache Nothing missed, as said just been away from the forum as their is no updates for now but as Lee is back tomorrow I think next week will be back to normal with the rest of the build.
