Very nice mate well done. Did you end up weighing the cage?

Currently it's not the plan, but it was never the plan to fit a cage, so future will tell :-p

Thanks man! In my enthusiasm I forgot too weigh the cage and just fitted it right away haha, but it will be around 30kg I think

Today I fitted all the engine mounts and gearbox mount. Gearbox wasn't that easy too fit as I hoped for but we managed to get all the mounts fitted.

Only took a short drive but here are the first impressions:
- Gearchanges are much more direct and "firmer", no more moving of the gear lever when you release/press the throttle.
- Gas respons seems more direct and total car feels more in "connected"
- Steering wheel vibrates quite a bit but I think I can live with that, car isn't a daily driver.
- No rattles currently :clap:.

Can't wait too test it fully on track!

the gearbox insert was a pain in the arse here too..took me a while but was worth it..the vibrations will settle..
