Just got some new goodies! A new sparco steering wheel+boss, cobra bucket seat and urethane bush kit for the mk2, and after looking Eibach roll bar prices. I can spend another £100 and get a full 40mm roll cage...
On the other hand I was speaking to a guy from clubgti.com and he has a safety devices half cage up for sale for £150 (originally £250) but I think he will come down to £130.
So what do you reckon:
High quality roll bars: Obviously the lightest option Full roll cage: Heavy, but I guess it will be worth it at track days (i also haven't asked if it is aluminium/thickness of tubing...)
2nd hand Half cage: Cheapest option, not sure how much extra rigidly it will provide because the rear end of a mk2 seems *really* solid, most of the flex would occur in the front half I imagine if only due to the engine weight. But I can buy a second cage for the front at a later date I think.Also I was wondering why most people seem to go for 45mm carbs rather than
48s, is it simply the cost?
