Weirdy Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 OK, as a new member and proud new owner of a Superlight 'SV' can someone tell me if I can take 'Minty' to the track as she is from the showroom and have a thrash or do I need all the safety gear, IE honeycomb fuel tank, extra bits on the roll bar, six point harnesses, battery cut off etc.... or can I take her to a track day for a thrash as she is? Considering I have only had her just over a week, if I have to wait until I get the extra bits then so be it, but I'd like to try a track out....

Mark Durrant Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Weirdy If you want to go on a club track day you will need an FIA roll over bar and a crash hat. Other track day organisers do not insist on the FIA bar. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weirdy Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 The FIA bar, is that the one with the two strutts to the back? with out the diagonal bar from side to side? I am obvioulsy not so up on reg's :-( So if I have an FIA bar all I need is a skid lid for my brain :-) Weirdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Payne Posted February 18, 2003 Share Posted February 18, 2003 The FIA bar is the one with the diagonal bar. Here a look here http://www.lotus7club.co.uk/7rollcage.htm Regards Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdy Posted February 18, 2003 Author Share Posted February 18, 2003 darn it. OK, I guess my track day adventures will have to wait then. http://trainingweb.essex.ac.uk/hallew/homepage.html This is Minty just after the new blue livery was put on, before the personal plate and before the 16valve badges where replaced, no diagonal cross strutt on the roll bar.... And I suppose being an SV she'll be more costly to upgrade.... *shame* May thanks for your thoughts and input, I have a feeling I will be asking many more questions as time goes on.....
