^That's his cut down fighter pilot steering wheel. Really heavy without power steering. lol.

....So given the choice we'd all go for the 'through the dash' cage? Is there any way of pulling out all the stock heating / demisting parts and substitute with something a bit more basic? In fact the heating wouldn't bother me, but you would want to keep or have some form of demisting. I've heard of guys putting in desk fans and wiring up a dash switch. Food for thought.

yeh mate how many times do i need to tell you we have v8supercar style heated windscreens down here
I'm pretty sure you can have the dash bar and heat set up as well just may need a little custom ducting

DanR

they are for the IQ3 dash, one toggles through the menues whilst the other is a select button.

Yes but do they fit our cars?

comatb

That is cool! Is this available or did you make it?

DanR

I just bought it from OG racing if I remember but most other places have them. They are made by sparco and are about $50 They also do single button versions

Yeh you just cut the windscreen down Pat............OK just kidding ...no they are made for the car the guy i went to see about cages has them about 500$ half of the 944 challenge fleet uses them .

Hey guys photos of the inside of 944's that have had big hits would be insightful in this thread ..
When i was visits shops about cages i learnt that is is helpful to strengthen the foot well as in a big indecent in folds in

MUSSBERGER

That was funny.

It's been done, once or twice;

Show off....... Really nice work John.

Touche!

Seriously, thank you. It is not that hard to go through the dash vent, and it preserves something critical for ingress/egress; the area just under the dash. Whether you are short with your seat fixed far forward, or tall with long legs, that area forward under the dash is critical in getting your feet in and out. The 944 door aperture is small as it is, and preserving every bit of space is critical. You don't have much choice in our older buckets but to cut the side of the dash off. I don't hesitate to do this for two reasons; 1) gets the tube in tight. 2) allows MUCH easier access to the stupid fuse panel! Ever try to change a Series I fuel pump relay in a hurry?

also may give more protection against busted lower leg in a bad indecent.

I'm all for the through the dash setup.
