Haydn,

I'm not very familiar with the Type 44 platform.  But I am getting rather
familiar with the strip-down and race prep of the Audi platform!  Check out the
roll-cage shots in the link in my signature.

I'd be more then happy to help you out where ever I can.  Just add my email
address to your list of people to email anytime you have a question.

We'll need to know where you're located as well...helps when trying to figure
out where you should get things like cages built.

What kind of racing do you want to get into?

-Dave
