Been to GTS today and picked up my new project

I.R.S. GTS Panther with full cage and side intrusion bars..

Plan is to fit 2.1 Pinto type 9 and LSD and go and have some track fun.

How tall are you? That cage looks huge! Nice work though mate. You'll probably Finnish before me. And I've been at it over 6 months

it does look very high in the pics..

once the seat is in..

and i've got my helmet on..

looks more in proportion

i must admit, although my new car isnt on the road yet, the side impact bars make the car feel much much safer! wether they actually work or not is another thing, but they give me more confidence and feel a lot less 'open'

You got it then! I know Darren was gonna put in a late nighter to get it finished for you.

he was there till about 12 last night...

I got there at 11.30 today and he was still welding and dressing it till 15.00

does look the nuts thou!!

Please consider a more track focused engine if that will be its main use!



And no I'm not starting the age old CEC vs BEC debate!

Dump the pinto and get a zetec.... you'll never look back...

forget the pinto or zetec Nissan turbo power is the only way to go

GTS, interesting choice

I'll put up the pics of my phone later but the cage does look in proportion to gav sitting in it with helmet on.

We are going to need a bigger barn.
What have you done with Dave's car?
