Small update today.
Ive decidied I want the car too be 1000kg with me in it. That gave me too options. Lighten me or Lighten the car!
So today I started by taking out the dash and removing the sound deading from behind it and removing anything elce I felt I could live without.
As it was all apart, I decided to remove the heater box and get rid of the air-con matrix too
.
Also as everything was out, I decided to try and find a way to lower my steering coloum. As my bucket seats are mounted very low to keep my weight low, even with the colum on its lowest setting, the steering wheel was still a bit high for me. So I got to work on the lathe with some round bar and made these spacers.
Next I got a bit carried away and cut the dash in half. It actully fits very nicely.
Then to finnish the day off i fitted my Cup spoiler and suck on a couple of track stickers. Yes I have driven every track that I've stuck on lol.
Next week im going to rip the ABS pump out and the brake lines ready for full braiding and install all the cables to put the battery in the boot.
