Anyone drive 1 regular on the road and is it much more noise compared to full trim
or is it just like haveing the back seats down type of noise
getting a bucket seat at the end of the month and
am not sure if its gonna suite full trim then 1 black seat
or not sure stripped & caged for road use is a good look either

 

I used my car for a long while with just the front seats in no carpet or rears. wasnt that much diffrent tbh.

 

Mine didnt make a great deal of differance either if it gets too much just turn the stereo up abit more lol

 

They tend to be a little noisier as you hear more echoing through the car, the worst part is trying to get the car warm on a cold day, as theres so many metal surfaces exposed, its hard to heat them all up.

 

I used my XR3 for a while with half a dash, no carpet, no sound proofing, interior trims and only front seats and is was ok. Had a straight through exhaust pipe, no air filter and no wheel well in the boot floor either

 

Cool thats what i was hopeing for would only be useing in the warmer mounths
ill keep my eyes open at central day dont want a cage then regret it
muz i remeber you telling me about mr pc wasnt to happy about it lol

 

My XR3 is fully stripped, cut and weight removed no door cards etc with cage. It is very noisey, you hear and feel every thing, not ideal for an every day car and unpractical when you want somewhere to put bags and jackets etc, on the floor is just not nice really.

Depends how far you go and how hard your car is setup.

 

Muz get that pic up from when someone put there foot through it.

 

yea, don't. i drive with either intercomc or defenders......

 

XR3 - 1 Car Thief - 0

 

 

flintstones lol...

im thinking about caging my s1 but need to sell the interior to fund it...

although i would swap for a nice pair of buckets and harnesses and mounts ..

its a shame tho as the seats are mint.

 

I bet that cunt had a sore head and one hell of a shock hahahahaha

 

your lucky he didnt sue you mate
tried searching the forum for pics but no luck
have to wait till i get my seat to see what it looks like
i dont wanna strip it but if it dont look right then i guess striped out with a cage
setup going to be coilovers when they get fitted

 

Get 1 of these mark then send us some pics so i can decide

with their cages you have to weld them in by the look of them...

to much work for me i just want a bolt in jobbie then you can always put it back to standard if you want....

i think its msp performance that make them to spec .....

 

I know what you mean point of no return lol
just found a few pics and with dash chopping etc seems a bit extreme
different if its jsut a track car but i want a road car aswell
hopefully seat will look good with trim fingers crossed

 

there is places that make up the front to go around the dash so no cutting needed...

the s1 in one of the ford mags this month has it ... its a guy called tom's
who owns it car built by jamsport.

 

Cheers mark ill check it out
i seen a few like that but dont like the bars sticking out tbh
like um tucked up to the winscreen pillar but dont wanna cut the dash lol
what i want dont excist

 

custom jobbies are the only way to do it....

think about me my s1 dash is mint....

im thinking about selling my whole interior including dash and then getting a shitty old ghia dash flocked , saves cutting up a £300 dash lol

 

Mine is noisy a fook, but mine is only used for trackdays.

 

But if you sell it would you get another in the same condtion better to put it in the loft mate
parts are getting rarier the older they get

 

I guess trying to have 1 car for 2 purposes isnt ideal
what works on track doesnt on the road and vica versa

 

na mate if i take it too far and dont like it i would just sell it lol...

i will proberley get bored after a couple of months of building it and sell it anyway lol

 

if your gunna use for track only put one in, they are very noisy tho fully caged and stripped be warned LOL

 

Cheers jonny hows your comeing along
id use it more on the road then track tbh

 

same as but its still only a toy so wont be a everyday car .... but dont realy want to fit a weld in to a mint s1 so a bolt it is

 

To be fair yours is pretty loud. Much louder than the XR3, anyway. If you had a straight cut in the Puma it would be pretty horrific TBF.

 

all good mate, new rads in but winters here and the urge to pull it apart again has reared its ugly head

dont put the cage in a mint s1

 

i didnt want to lol but might need some safety as it should be 280+hp when done now and im fitting standard wheels with 4x4 brakes

so a roll cage will just back that up alittle

 

standard wheels and cossie brakes are spot on mate, its upto you about the cage tbh

 

i will get some pics up later mate to show... i have a proper mint interior and a very good dash and its a shame to leave in a car thats getting used in anger

 

rsmark even if you went for a bolt in cage you still need some strengthening plates welding to the floor so it wouldnt be as straight forward as your thinking

 

ok so who would be the best people to get them from as well as a cage

 

Jonny good lad why strip it i thought it was not far of finshed
i gotta strip mine and not looking forward it fella

 

i think because im gunna use it for some fast driving and maybe some track action but its only a weekend toy

 

im just joking mate, but knowing me
