With a cage you should always wear helmets when you're in the car - you're putting large quantities of steel tubing close to where your head might be in an accident.  Don't do it unless you really fancy wearing a helmet wherever you go.

Four point harnesses are sh*t, too.  five or six point and the main straps must be 3" wide, or don't bother - you're asking for broken bones on any impact.

What, dead with a smashed in head from beating it on the rollcage?

That's like saying junkies look cool because they're thin.

i did that for most parts. lots of new genuine parts. i do wish i had stripped the engine down and made it look like yours does and done more with the bay. i just wanted it together, done and all working. almost at that stage :D its my daily, so i wanted it back on the road!

what you send off for spraying?

what color is the box going to be?

yeah everything's genuine audi because a friend of mine works there ;) well they cars no where near ready for paint yet, got to 'dummy fit' the engine first :) well i sent off the rocker cover, sump and inlet manifold and now got everything back except the manifold lol the gearbox will be silver keep it clean and simple :) some other bits are goin to be gold but you'll have to wait and see what :)

more to come in a couple of weeks
