Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: Diamond Hell on 22 March 2012, 17:14: Oh dear - you appear to have put some steel tubing into your car to beat your head against.

That's probably not going to end well.
Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: Phil-my-vw-up on 22 March 2012, 21:30: I love doing track days and almost fliped my last golf so wanted a cage hehehe
Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: lemski on 22 March 2012, 21:34: Is it afull cage or half cage? Welcome back
Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: Phil-my-vw-up on 23 March 2012, 09:01: Half cage atm as u use it daily. but getin a fab guy to make me the front half with removavle door bars so i can bolt them on when i go to the track,
Also mounted the buckets lower on custom bars (help a lit with strenthing ive been told) so have more room from head to roof hehe
Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: Diamond Hell on 23 March 2012, 13:11: Well let's hope you're using proper CDS and not just 'some tube'.

Just a quick note about half-cages:

Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: Diamond Hell on 24 March 2012, 01:22: Is it though?

You've put a load of steel pipe inside the cabin of the car.

Unless you're strapped in with harnesses then you can float about a fair bit and batter your head in on the random pipework you've installed in your car.

That's why race cars have bucket seats, harnesses and rollcages, not just some pipework inside the car.

It's also why race drivers wear helmets.

It's also why race cars have to have expensive padding strapped to the pipework around the driver.

You've just put some steel pipe inside your car. It's a pretty terrible idea, all things considered and not at all safe.

Post by: Phil-my-vw-up on 24 March 2012, 22:58: Ive got Buckets and 4 point harnises and were a helmit on track.. and my seat is just infront of the over bar and lowerd on custom mounts so wont ever hit my head, but thanks for caring about me, feel loved :smiley:
Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: Diamond Hell on 27 March 2012, 10:09: Good job you've got 'harniseses' and 'helmitses'. You'll be fine then. :grin:
Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: Len on 27 March 2012, 11:25: Like the 6x9's in the doors. Similar to what I did in my 405.

Post by: Diamond Hell on 27 March 2012, 14:22: Yes, you may find that some things aren't spelt the way you say them. Spoken and written English are quite different at times.

Do avoid posting as if we're morons, if that's OK. It'll help ensure you don't come across as some sort of idiot.
Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: Phil-my-vw-up on 27 March 2012, 14:30: AHahahaha ok I thing I’m just going to ignore Diamond hell from now on, he clearly doesn’t like me for some reason.

I do however apologise if I have upset anyone as I’m heavily dyslexic and most of the time spell words very wrong but 9 times out of 10 I wouldn’t know the difference. (doing this on word right now to make Mr hell happy)

So lets stop worrying about spelling and upsetness (made that one myself) about half cages and so on and all just get along (insert a happy go lucky sound track)

I wouldn't go as far as ignoring him, he is actually very knowledgeable, particularly when it comes to track car setups. If something pops up that may be a safety issue, expect to hear from him again. Ignore how it may come across and embrace the facts.

Most browers can check spelling as you type now, get the plugin if yours doesn't. No point writing in word first.
Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: Phil-my-vw-up on 27 March 2012, 15:10: Good point, but i refuse to belive that having a half cage is unsafe? I have all the buckets and harnises already, the cage was fitted by GCautomotive and same goes for the seat mounts that are lower so give abit more room for my head if it does go tits up haha, I will say sorry if i have read into it wrong (bit of a hot head and im quick to defend myself) but the way he put it was making out as if i was stupid for puting one in..
Title: Re: HELLO!!! IM BACK!!!
Post by: lemski on 27 March 2012, 22:22: I use to think like you, then i realized he knows what he is on about. I have since asked for help a few times for my mk2 and with his advice has made my car better in my oppinion.
