Just browsed this entire thread and I'm speechless

Well done Plautos

I love this build. I mist admit you do somethings a little different to what I'm used to but nonetheless I'm massively impressed with your dedication to the project. I've been working on my project for a while but haven't had the funds to do what I have really wanted. I'm also working on another motorcycle engined race car... AUTOsports Australia but thats another story for another time...

Anyway, I was a little concerned about your roll cage. The main roll hoop really should be one piece, cold drawn seamless tube for ultimate strength. You mentioned you may not have the right tools... This is what you need. And they're not too expensive, compared to what you've probably spent already: Speedwerx Racing Products

Thanks, I´m happy you´re enjoying my project... the Polo is slowly becoming a Race Car.

About the roll cage, I´m decided to removed it and do it again, I´m not happy with it, it do not achieved my quality standards.

Thanks for the web site, I had some ideas now..

But, how it is, the car had a big change… the suspension I´m using become useless on the track… it became too soft… the car is rolling too much.

The shifter is awesome too, the car is really fun to drive.

About your race car project, it is very interesting, it is like the British Radical…
