Reckon you could shave a bit of weight ditching the big heavy dash and going centre binnacle... Maybe a custom composite one to save even more weight. Plus it would look the balls! Nice to see the interior looking smart though!

I could yes, but i realy like my dash. Same with the seats, they're properly heavy. Had to take them out to fit the carpet, and rememberd how heavy they are, but again I realy like them.

I think im going to go a bit more technical with weight loss rather than just drilling holes and shaving things to loose weight. So rear beam/coilovers and alloy/ titatium parts.

Although I can't afford any of that. Also the new brief for the car is. Fast and comfortable.

Glad I didn't cut out the rear seats now :D

I fitted some infinity 6x9s on the rear shelf, and I'll fit my CD changer under the rear seat. So im adding alot of weight to it at the moment. Weight loss is on hold for now, and im going to try and get this engine in and get it looking less tatty.

Rear beam would be a good plan, saves a huge amount of weight. Bet you could get one second hand on the cheap at some point. Wouldnt call it tatty though man, even if it's not a showroom model lol. Engine all back together now?

Engine is kinda together, I've got dozens of parts piling up, and deciding which parts is best is hard. Today I recieved a new transfer housing thats better than the one on there, so im not sure if im going to replace it or not yet.


Turbo is looking further and further away at the moment. Money is a huge factor, not only for parts, but insurance and fuel will be a bit hard. I might have to wait until i finish uni. I have a huge list of parts I want to fit, but then i'd be truely skint, and im going to save for the brands hatch to nurburgring trip now.

Im going to fit the 1380, and the megajolt, and see where I stand. After thats finished im going to upgrade my transmission as thats standard at the moment.
Then I might think about coilovers/beam and then turbo.

I think im getting in a bit over my head with uni aswell.
