Side bar is more then what it has too be
As cams says all my car needs is a rollbar to race as it is a open top car
So the cage is over kill in cams rules
But I wanted it so I got it lol

Yeah they do a lot of cage building but have done lots of mx5 of the years
He was recommend to me by nick who was in the gp cars mx5 when it rolled at lakeside
And a lot of the pscraq guys said the same
Love the fact the rear stays go in to the boot as it's a lot stronger there then the parcel shelf
Need to pull my finger out and start putting her back together again

Re: RWF MX-5'S nc daily drive and building na track car
I'd rather continuously apply for home loans than have Dummit build me another cage. Glad you had a better experience than I did as there is no way he'd stay in business if he treated all his customers that way.
With regards to your wheel alignment thread, I can't help with that but a mate up in Toowoomba runs a wheel alignment business called Steerfast. Specialises in race and rally cars especially. Well worth a trip up the hill if you want to be personally involved with your wheel alignment.

Don't drive it........RALLY it!
