Mario Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Now you've covered the Heater/air con and loom holes is that part of deleting the aircon system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball87 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Now you've covered the Heater/air con and loom holes is that part of deleting the aircon system? My car will have no heaters or air con, so i plated the holes to add to the smooth engine bay look. I will have a heated wind screen and a small demister, instead of the stock heaters etc..

Mario Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Nice move:thumbs:, wonder how much weight you saved on deleting the airconsystem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball87 Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Nice move:thumbs:, wonder how much weight you saved on deleting the airconsystem? Not as much as you think. About 15kg if i remember right, that's heater matrix,ducting,vents,wiring,aircon pump etc.. But it all adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 True it all adds up, 15 kg is definately worth it imo, will keep that in my mind for the next time when my engine is out. Liking the attention to weightsavings you've got going keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddball87 Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 Little up date, Scotched the Ectch primer down and covered all the unused holes inside the car eg.. interior trim holes, with aluminum tape. Covered about 100 holes today lol and still got more to do. Once i have done that job i will seam seal the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball87 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Little update. I have decided to Have the Nur wide arches now I wasn't going to bother but while the car is this stripped down it would be rude not to I will be fitting a BGW too and i think a big wing suits a car better if its wide. What you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddball87 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Even if it weighs more it dose not matter to me the benefits you get from such a cage are very good, Not only do you get a lot more protection in the event a rollover accident or collision. Also improving the cars structural rigidity which obviously improves handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
