looks nice imo
still have 5 people sit in it and hold on to it when its on full boost
and its there rather than being plain ..i have had all sorts of people ask what the power of the car is just by pointing at the roll cage they think any car wit a cage is powerfull hahahaha. i got it because i think it looks nice... and yeah as to handling it dont help no difference but it does no harm being there

No they don't because roll cages are not 4inch's thick, chrome, and they dont have a foot of clearance from the roof

The Group B rally cars were a little different to normal Delta Intergrales to be fair
Awesome cars though and sound amazing.


Mo - Without wishing to sound negative do you have any idea how much it would cost to get a reliable (or 'launchable') 4WD 400bhp YB up and running in your Escort?

Show cages are nothing short of pointless. They do more damage than good in a crash.
If I was you, I'd get a full weld in cage considering the awesome Lambo killing status your car has...

mo iv never once had a dig at you but off them previous comments re the show cage then it shows the sort of people that you must mingle with, for christ sake fella if anyone looks at a few pieces of metal in the rear of your car and thinks that means it must be fast then they obviously aint got a clue.
iv got mates with standard bhp r5gtt, saxo vts etc with a full roll cage in them but this doesnt mean they are fast (on track they do stick like shit to a blanket though).
seriously show cages are max power era mate, on another note your rst looks really good fuck the evo off and spend your money on tuning the engine you already have, why bother with yb 4x4 as you state you got things in place for 400+bhp

just onto mos question lancia deltas are immense but they have there problems, now am sure any rst/cosworth or as me r5gtt owner would say we have plenty of problems lol.
the one thing that separates the above is the cost of fixing any prob you have.

if i had alot of money then id choose a delta integrale over any cossie etc as iv been in a few that blew my socks off

So, if I can read the gibberish in one of yours posts....

Your Evo hadn't started and was clearly poorly so, when you'd got it started and were driving it, you "launched it" and then wondered why it broke?

If a car is sick, you don't abuse it do you You get it checked out before you fuck it completely. Or at least a normal person would...

mate the people who commented on my car are just normal people driving around and generally commenting on it thats all i diont even think they no its a show cage and dont do anything.. it looks good in my eyes and if it was so crap i wouldnt have got 5pms asking to sell it.. plus stil have 5 people in it and cage still in .. with a proper cage it aind practical..

anyway people WHAT WOULD BE QUICKER OVER ON A AVAERAGE ROAD RACE ... FEW DUAL CARIIAGEWAYS .... A 400BHP YB S2 OR A ZETEC TURBOD FRONT WHEEL DRIVE 328BHP S2???????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????? SURELY THE YB and 4wd... headstart on launches etc and better around the roundabouts "

Mo your s2 looks really nice but that cage is fake you dont put fake stuff in cars full stop! ( max power ) rip it out and if you want a cage get a proper one it will transform your car in stiffness and look proper
But whatever you do dont put a post up sayin your got 5 chavs swingin on your fake cage and that makes it look good it dont.

i reckon, your looking at around 8k to convert your s2 to 4wd and thats before you start thinking about diffs, gearbox, yb, turbo, and all the other gubbins....

thats what a pal of mine was quoted for the conversion a while back....

and if you "mate" is doing it for fook all, he's either not gonna do it properly or he's as daft as you are.......
