I've ordered a full Safety Devices roll cage, but it's a custom order so I'm still waiting for delivery.
Full cage, crossed rear diagonals, door and dash bars, harness bars. NICE.
I've also sourced loads of other little bits here and there. I've opted for a DTA S40 pro ECU, for which I'm building a custom loom.
Got a set of Astra gte legs and brakes for the front. GTE rear disc beam for the back and a set of second hand (track) wheels for now.
Also bought a pair of OMP TRS seats.

These wheels? Awful? It'll be 60mm lower at the rear and 50mm lower at the front, but these wheels and tyres were freebies just to get it rolling and driving. Thoughts?

One Carb Or Two?

Get it on Comps, or at least team dynamics pro race 3 imo. They just dont suit multispoke wheels, much like Novas or Cavaliers

Cav slabs don't look right on MK1 Astras IMO.
I reckon I'll end up with something like BBS or Borbet A rims. Just heeds to be something of the right era really.

I'm not going to be stancing it. Just getting a decent track height and corner weights sorted.
I want 16" x 7" rims. The Borbets will work for me if they're light enough.

Had Borbets on my old 190 and they set it off perfectly. They suit the Astra in the pic really well.
