WEIGHT SAVING!!
Well as Shakespeare RWYB is this saturday I thought I'd obtain some "free power" and lose a bit of weight..
I've only done the rear of the car so far, front will be done hopefully tomorrow
A few pictures:
Before, full interior:

What I removed.. Shit loads of stuff! :

After.. Bare!

I didn't have time to remove the carpets or belts, but the carpets hardly weigh anything anyway, and I don't wanna mess up the belts, so they're staying!
Bring on the 1/4 mile!
Joe

Looking good!

I need another stuff removal session, did a partial one to see how i got on with just two seats.

I was meant to ask how did lil Chris vts get on? I used to work for Peugeot and loved the pocket rocket-ness of the 106GTi.

 

[VVLwezz]

joe is dying to get a 14 arent you dude, did i inspire you matey? hehe

 

[shaggy_master]

Wezz mate I'm not sure I'll get 14's with these shitty 185 tires but we can only hope..
And David Guy's saxo pulled 142.5bhp at the fly, with only breathing mods! Very good considering they're only 125ish standard.
Joe

 

[craiGTi]

awesome stuff mate, and lookin very tidy.

bet you can't wait til it's double those figures though!

 

[mera red gti]

hey i bet that lil saxo is a right handful to keep back then haha

 

[VVLwezz]

saxo VTS motors respond so well to breathing mods god damn them, shit car but good engine

 

[shaggy_master]

Yup its actually quicker to get moving off the mark because of lightweightnessss, but second, third gear I reel him in
Rolling start and I'm ok haha.
I'm not the kinda person to keep launching my car off the lights anyway.

[mera red gti]

^ loving this * must resist the need to wash car and take more pictures ARGH

 

[davidsr20]

Would u not put the black rubber none bodykit Gti front lip?

 

[VVLwezz]

i love the lucino grille colour coded, mine is getting silvered now.

looks gravy in that pic dude, love it

 

[shaggy_master]

It would not drive with the rubber lip on the bumper
Hence the non bodykit slammedness.
Joe

 

[shaggy_master]

Well I've done a little more weight saving today in persuit of that illusive 14s 1/4 mile..
Carpets & Belts in..

Out

Sweeeet.
Also my exhaust cat hangar was broken.. so I made a custom one outta old parts
Old downpipe flange sliced to make bracket:

Offered up to the new Downpipe:

The hangar itself (off a fiat bravo!):

All Welded up:

Fitted!:

Works a treaaat
Also fixed my PAS fluid leak and resolved other niggles.
Bring on Shakeys tomorrow!
