    I'd be more worried about the roll cage between my legs

    Hmmmm....not exactly my style.......>>

    And that cage wouldn't get accepted due to the dog legs in the front pillars. Far too weak. That sequential shifter may work well.....but it looks like crap.

    Blipman Beer hooves totally work

    The shifter is by Ikeya Formula

    it bolts to the top and with each 'sequential' shift it's actually moving the original shifter through the H gate. It's actually no faster than normal shifting.

    Why is the kink in the cage a problem Pete? The A-pillar section of the cage has bends in it. 99% of cages in Japan are like that, including those you see in cars that do regular track work.

    CAMS are pretty tuff when it comes to cages.....>

    There are about 8 pages of regulations dealing with cages in the manual, the relevent sentence is....

    The front leg of a front roll bar or of a lateral roll bar must be straight, or if it is not possible, must follow the windscreen pillars and have only one bend with its lower vertical part.

    A cage is designed to strengthen the body, and help support it in the event of a roll over. Picture what would happen to a dog legged cage if a very heavy weight was pressed down on top of it, it would potentially buckle inwards. The cage with only one bend would try to buckle outwards, but combined with the firewall/bulkhead should provide additional bracing.

    At least that is the theory.
