3b s2 coupe resurrection

Thanks Greg, any issues with the SRF or just the Motul is rated better?

Jojojo, with ref, awesome man

Rear half cage fitted, massive thanks to Scott Mcminn. He got a hoop from custom cages, then made up the rest. I got to "help" and watch, very reasonable price

3" exhaust

That cage should help with rigidity as well as adding some element of safety, the welding looks very tidy as well, nice job.

I'm guessing your back seats and headlining won't be making a reappearance.

Is that a full 3" system with down pipe? It's hard to tell from the pic's.

[andy10v]

Yup, should stiffen up the back a bit, also means I can fit a harness.

Good excuse not to give people lifts.....

Ultimately I would like to re carpert the whole interior, GT2 style. Need the new screen sealed in first though.

Its a 3" cat/downpipe back, I will make up the downpipe bottom section.

[K Simmonds]

Harness is a good call if your doing a lot of track days

I seem to recall you have the top end of a 3" DP so it shouldn't be too much bother to fabricate something.

I don't like giving people lifts either, slows the car down too much

[zafra]

your car is now only for race?

[andy10v]

your car is now only for race?

No still a road car, that is why its a rear cage only.

[andy10v]

Gave the cage a wipe down with thinners, and a quick coat of paint



Exhaust laid out

[Error404]

Nice, you going to tie it into the top of the B-pillar?
Should really help add some rigidity to the floppy old coupe shell - interested to hear your feedback

[andy10v]

Thinking about a B pillar gusset, if its tied in up it would really get rid of the open box that is a coupe shell.

I wont be able to give any useful feedback I don't think, I am not driving the car regularly enough, hadn't driven it for a couple of years, and am changing too much at once

[Kieron20V]

Is that hoop available from safety devices specially for the coupe or is it some universal piece? Interested in doing something similar with mine, eventually.

[andy10v]

Hoop is from custom cages, made for a coupe, came with the footplates to weld in (had to bend to fit)

They have done this one. (I assume they save all details so they can reproduce them)

[Kieron20V]

What's the price just for the hoop? Rest of it looks pretty straightforward diy, just don't have the gear to bend the main hoop.

[andy10v]

Not sure as I got it all from the guy who got it from custom cages.

Says £141 on their website



Or £254

Yes the notches can just be done with an angle grinder, cut off wheel to cut to length/angle. Flap disc to shape. Nothing a saw and file cant do either with more time.
