Prodrift Ireland- 2012 Rules & Regulations

[jeff nelson sileighty]

tbf now in ur case all that needs to be done is make 2 new front legs and weld them to ur hoop, not that expensive it would be madness to change ur whole cage

I know ya but at the same time its still money i dont have yano and many people are guna be rightly stuck now because of it....i know i went on a bit of a rant in my last post but its not fair for them to decide that at this point

Is this allowed? The impression I get is that the only bolt in cages allowed are fully fia approved non dash dodgers? Does this not mean that if you have a dash dodger and cut the two front legs and replace them it is no longer fia approved?? Confusion :-(

very good point but i can see alot off lads trying it any way as the rules took to long to come out and there is people not ready what else can they do ????

I dont understand why they are banning cutting the bulkhead, the have made cars with modified bulkheads almost invalueable overnight and why give the drivers of these cars such an advantage.

Who said anything about cutting.? What people are saying is to get two new front bars made up that go through the dash and that bolts on or is welded on properly to the rest of your existing cage. I cannot see how they could have a problem with this provided it is done properly with the right steel and joints.
I have looked hard everywhere and there is not actually anyone who makes a bolt in thru dash fia approved roll cage off the shelf for an s13 unless you get one custom made and bol@x to that if they think I am forking out for that. I am going getting two new front bars made up and if they dont like it they can shove their prodrift up their behind coz we all have driftfest now and we dont depend on them anymore.Thats my opnion on the matter anyway. Peace

Looks like I touched a sensitive spot lad relax, the rules are nothin to do with me, I'm just trying to get as much info as I can before I do anything with my own dash dodger, peace.

Ok ok ok ok ok ok lads use yer well educated brains here, the problem ye have here is a question that you need to ask ,in the rules it states about a particular cage is only acceptable ,R I G H T ! (in john cleese voice) now go pick up the phony woney and nicely contact prodrift and im sure eitheir graham sarah or john will oblgingly advise you on how to cheaply and effectivley overcome the problem about making yez-ur dash doger a non dash dodger !!! and be acceptable to the rules......

And if you think out side the box john stone (THE NEW SCRUTINY MAN)is an extremely good fabricator as is the mc namara guys who are all involved in prodrift ,you could give them the job to do im sure at a fair price to keep your budget down ..........

YOURS, Mammy chris.........
