Nice work man! Looks heavy?
Much prefer single axles myself, but also have an affinity for small cars. Only thing I'd have added would be a removable tyre rack.

KK may be looking at EK for JasonK = Kinception?

Oh wow, you're in Palmy? Head to the pub meet at the Rose & Crown tonight!

Yeah, you will be fine.
Put up a project thread.

I need to finalize work and money situation and let you know... Keen, but possibly only for the Sat afternoon/night if I can't get off work.

Spot any RA23/TA22 celicas out there?

Bell K1 sport all the way.
Like this?

Looks the same as my cage builders bender. He wont lend it but would be able to do your cage in a couple of days . How much are you paying for the one in the scort?
Get your guy to ring ProParts in Palmy, they might have a former in stock if you're lucky.
It's also very unlikely that you'll have homologation back before the 25th of June. They've been taking a couple of months for normal ones and a month or so for "rush" homologations... So you could be best to roll without for June?

That's a worry!
Is he able to get a larger die for his bender?

You need a hex bit socket of the right size. They work best when accompanied by a rattle gun/impact driver to shock the nut off.
If you can, use a small power bar place the hex bit into the hole then get a socket or spanner onto the nut that lives on the inside of the wheel. Undoing the nut is easier than cranking on the allen head and you are less likely to round it off. If you can use a small rattle gun on the nut it makes life a lot easier (cordless impact drivers or small impact wrenches work).
Give it a go with a hex bit and a socket on the back and if that doesn't work, take it to elite/an engineer.

Windscreen for simon?

I'd roll something like this if I wasn't a poor student:

There are 38 beds at Cutters and they have offered a total booking if we want (but haven't given a price for that yet).
All we need to book beds is provide a credit card number for security. I don't have one, can anyone volunteer?

K. I've found an alternative.
Does your Z have locks? My car has none.

I wouldn't do rose joints on a road car because they'll wear out. Maybe LH/RH thread in the middle of the arm to get adjustment and keep standard bushes? You'll need to check cert legality.
-
And WOW, 26 people registered for accom already! This could quite possibly be epic???
P.S - If anyone know somewhere I can stash the 86 for Fri/Sat night I would love to hear from them (Tom?).

rough accomodation prices?
sleep in car+save money=win?
Read accommodation thread? $37.50 between 4 in a room.

+ 1 for getting good teflon ones first time.
The ones in my car have been raced on for over 10 years (and haven't had an easy life) and I'm yet to notice any play in the joints... They're standing up better than the body has!!!
You can end up spending a few hundred to get the right ones though.

5 degrees is a lot of camber for any car. I run 3.5 to 3.75' on my AE86 race car and wouldn't want to run anywhere near that on a road car.
The adjustable camber tops should get you to about 3', which should be enough.

Some good information here:

DOT ratings aren't acceptable unless they are accompanied by the standards that sumo covered. ECE is the new European standard and is quite a tough test... As opposed to DOT which seem to be a registration that is all about liability for the manufacturers.
