Paul Whiffin Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 As I'm on a bit of a weight saving mission at the moment, I thought I'd get rid of all the sound proofing. Took advantage of the cold weather and most of it just chipped off, not a 5 minute job though, spent 6 hours getting rid of most of it. Guess how much it all weighed? 3kg, all that for 3kg! It all counts though, saved some with the dash mods so about 8kg of more or less freight weight loss. Next job is to remove the heater as thats got to be another chunk of weight. The car looks a right mess at the moment, no dash, floor pans need painting, etc. Taking it to have the titanium exhaust made tomorrow, should be another 20kg off the weight hopefully, jubbly.

T2 MSW Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Trust me I have, even without the sliders the rear pick up points dont sit flush and the seat is still way too high. Even if you get them right the metal the frame is made of is just not thick enough and bends. Im going to get some metal this week and make up my own subframes.Just wondered what yours are as they look perfect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Small update. Should be getting my car back at the end of this week with the new 3.5" titanium turbo back exhaust system plus the twin wastegate manifold all done. Hoping to get to a dyno next week to test the new manifold out and see if they work and then bolt the Bullseye beast on to see what that can do, cant wait!

Paul Whiffin Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 My replica Ridox carbon front splitter/undertray arrived today, check this baby out, also replaces the stock undertray so its effectively flat bottoming the front end. Hopefully its going to work as good as it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
