2. Interactive Hotspots
File: template-parts/build-page/section-interactive.php
1. Rollcage
Description: This is the next big step. We need a full, FIA-homologated weld-in cage (likely from Hockley) to make the car stage-legal. Once the cage goes in, we can weld the seat rails super-low for better weight distribution. Until then, it's safety first!
Table Data:
Original: Standard Chassis
Current: Planning Phase
Target: FIA Homologated Weld-in Cage
2. Interior Modifications
Description: Done! We spent an afternoon stripping everything—trim, carpets, the lot. My living room was full of car parts for weeks! But the difference was instant; the car feels lighter, sharper, and much more nimble on the road.
Table Data:
Original: Full Road Trim & Carpets
Current: Fully Stripped Shell
Target: Painted Interior + Carbon Cards
3. Safety Components
Description: Safety is non-negotiable. We have a pair of Sparco Evo seats (an Evo L for Darragh) ready and waiting to be fitted as soon as the car is back. Initially, we'll use bolt-in subframes, but they'll be permanently welded in once the rollcage arrives.
Table Data:
Original: Stock Sport Seats
Current: Sparco Evo (Ready to Fit)
Target: FIA Seats + 6-Point Harnesses
4. Steering
Description: We fitted a Sparco R345 suede steering wheel. The suede gives incredible grip with no slip, and the dish brings the wheel closer to the driver. It was an immediate upgrade in control and "feel" for the car.
Table Data:
Original: Stock Leather Wheel
Current: Sparco R345 Suede
Target: Sparco R345 (Complete)
5. Suspension
Description: The stock suspension is surprisingly stiff and fun, but the bushings are worn. We're upgrading to polyurethane Powerflex bushings this week to sharpen everything up. Long-term, we're eyeing a full Bilstein or Reiger gravel setup.
Table Data:
Original: Stock Road Suspension
Current: Stock + Powerflex (In Progress)
Target: 3-Way Adj. Gravel Dampers
6. Brakes
Description: Currently in the workshop! We're fitting Black Diamond G12 discs and PBS ProRace pads all round, plus braided hoses and high-performance PFC RH665 fluid. We need consistent stopping power before we add more speed.
Table Data:
Original: Stock Discs & Pads
Current: Black Diamond G12 / PBS ProRace
Target: Kit-Spec Calipers + Hyd. Handbrake
7. Wheels & Tyres
Description: Priority #1. Grip is the ultimate performance factor. We're hunting for a set of secondhand wheels to wrap in proper tarmac rally tyres. Great brakes are useless if the tyres can't transfer that force to the road!
Table Data:
Original: Stock 17" Alloys
Current: Team Dynamics Motorsport
Target: Speedline 2118 + Hankook Rally Tyres
8. Underbody Protection
Description: To protect the engine and gearbox from rocks and heavy landings, a full-length, 8mm thick alloy "sump guard" will be fitted to the car's underside. We will also add kevlar or composite guards to protect the fuel tank and brake lines.
Table Data:
Original: Plastic Splash Guard
Current: Stock (None)
Target: 8mm Alloy Sump Guard
9. Exterior Styling
Description: We've added our own decals and a QR code to the existing livery. We fitted mudflaps, but lost the left ones on a country lane! Replacements (and more sponsor decals) are arriving today to complete the rally look.
Table Data:
Original: 2010 Cup Replica Wrap
Current: Wrap + Mudflaps + QR Code
Target: Roof Vent + Full Team Livery
