Default Starting My new company soon

Handed in my notice to hauser racing after being there for nearly 6 yrs
It's time to take the plunge and run my own business: Adrenaline Race & Performance ltd.

I'll be offering rollcages, one off fabrications with design input or to your own drawings etc. interior panel work, there's lots. Will have a website up and running in the next few weeks and hope to start trading mid november.

Stu can you send me info on trade advertising please.

Update!! I'm now able to offer Carbon fibre work for one off etc.

Best of luck in the venture Danny. Its a scary time as i well remember, but exciting too, just take it one day at a time and dont throw money around as its hard to get back.

Give me a call if you want to look at trade options for becoming a modem dealer, or if i can help you in any other way. The PF details are sticky at the top of the page pal.

Is it just cages and interiors etc, or are you also going to be doing stuff like fabrication to fit suspension and drive components etc?

Like for example, if someone had a nova that was based on an F28 gearbox that can accept a transfer box, would you be the sort of person to speak to about fabricating a transmission tunnel, mounting a back axle and sorting out all the rear suspension etc?

(i dont have such a car myself, its just an example of the sort of questions i sometimes get asked about who to go to have such work done)

this is exactly the sort of things i can catter for, from mild to wild. full shell preparation from seam welding, caging,fuel system plumbing etc to a complete race ready car or street ready

recent stuff from me as an idea: nissan 350Z turbo kit for a drift car, 350z drift conversion for the rear end, astra coupe twin engine 2.2 turbo, skyline drag car, Jamsport escort shell prep and cage work and supension planning.

Id be very interested in traction problem solving as iam currently putting a 2.1 ZT in my XR2 so could well be a problem.
As stated already best of luck mate, ive spoken to you a couple of times previosuly though you probaably dont remember me
but you are clearly a very knowledgable and a good bloke to speak to, you should be fine!

Hi Danny

Good luck with the venture....


Could be in the market for Anglia Roll Cages as Safety Devices are fannying about and also ally interior panels.

As long as you are charging more like Safety Devices and less like Hauser then we can probably do some business my friend...

Cheers Neil

Hi Neil,
with regards pricing a one off bespoked rollcage will always cost more than the like of safety devices however if your wishing to make an order on 5 or more then I'm willing to offer good discount to to the labour involved in making 5 together is ALOT less than making 1 5 times if you get what I mean

XRT si Maybe I'd recognise you in person lol, come say hi next time you see me.

MWF I'm going to be based in Rushden northamtonshire, 5mins from Santa Pod and 25mins from Silverstone

Yes mate I'll be able to do that.

pm me details as and went you require a price.

As for employing someone there is already 2 of us but i dont wish my workshop to have anymore as I aim to maintain high quality work, however I will be looking to employ someone that can take calls and send out parts and in time quote jobs.

1.7's is ok if your on drag radials but on slicks you need to be 1.5's that'll get your attention.

I'm doing testing with a big power civic and we can data logo everything so I KNOW what is effective and whats not, once I've come up with the best package I'll make kits to suit each application, Vauxhall can be included
