thinking of donating the door pods and speakers to mark, but retaining my TRD trim items lol. Jay - thanks for the offer man, i'll try to keep her started once a week or fortnight as best i can, but if she wont start next yr a house call will be needed. when u say excess engine bay stuff, what do u suggest dude? i want to keep the power steering so just ignore mark there, and i think we have the carbon filter out already, i thought we were already pretty light in there, guess we could run a front mounted filter now as she wont see cold winter air temps, only summer air temps. Phil.

its a Guzzi yes. Mark is into V-Twins, not rice rockets, there'll be no GSXRs goin on in this house thats for sure. Phil.

wow!!!! class! Phil.

joel is most correct. most correct. Phil.

good to see ya home dude. Phil.

win! Phil.

very tempted, i'll have a think. handbrake plastics are all staying in, still want it to look fairly neat in the front, but the rear i dont care lol. will probably get some black electrical tape and re-wrap the looms to the rear. Seat belts might get hit next...sorry jay, but i need sockets for that...mark, u knob. Phil.

Mark - i cant get much further right now as the c-pillar bar is in the road and some thoughtless twat took his socketset away... Went out for a half hour last nite...came back in 2 hours later. speaker wires to the rear are out, as is the ISO cable and the power and remote cable, and also the head unit. im leaving the sill trim plastics in place to cover that sharp lip and to also protect the wiring from getting battered. i also took a hammer and flat head screw driver to the factory sound deadening on the drivers side of the spare wheel well, took a while and my back was fucked after, but i

sweet colour! do it! Phil.

cheers gents! @ Luke - no aim weight at the mo man. @ Si - dunno about that man. its one thing to develop such drastic weight reduction through track testing, but to reduce the weight in the rear that much by ditching the wheel well, not convinced about that man. Jay and i have discussed that before. @ Mark - as u know well, i aint done yet bro! @ Iddy - thanks man! i'll see if Alan E has one! Phil.

yes yes its on my to-do list!!! Phil.

if i'd still been using her everyday there is no way i'd have removed the system, i love my metal on the way to work. but the new car has a full sound system thats already had the EQ set to ROCK mode lol! therefore, the EP is now fit to be even more impracticle and doesnt need a sound system. i may remove the seat belts...however, this has an impact on Jay lol. time to learn how to adjust the harnesses lol! Phil.

almost as hott as you! Phil.

Damien can I ask in what way their serach function is better?? surely search is search no? or is it like google being better than askjeeves? is it a technical thing? If this is a general consensus amongst members i will raise it with Geo, see if ours can be improved. Phil.

cheers lads! much appreciated. she was bought for a purpose and all being well she'll serve that purpose very comfortably! Phil.

you're on G buddy! Phil.

the ICE is for sale if u are interested and it can be collected in Ayr scotland or somewhere within a reasonble drive from there. the floor itself tho is no use, the bits at the side we made out of various bits of wood nailed together, plus its all covered in fibreglass now. its not hard to do, u just need a sheet of MDF or similar and a jigsaw for the holes and sides. but yeah, if the sub and amp are of any interest to you let me know dude. a very very reasonable figure could be easily agreed upon Phil.

Update Alrighty then, let us commence with this new project. Jay has his Project 55, so, in homage to such a great project name, I have now dubbed this project of my own, Project 159. Please excuse the fact she is not clean, never in my life have i encountered a car that gets so dirty so easily, apparently they are known for this along with the GT due to the shape of the front and rear wheel arches, they throw dirt everywhere! needless to say, i have already investigated OEM mud-flaps and these will be ordered post-haste to prevent any stone chips developing up the sides. Now, thi

it seems fairly brittle at the mo, i'm thinking big flat head screwdriver over a few weeks and a hammer! cheers gents! Phil.

two bin bag fulls! i try not to think how much all that carpet and sound deadening cost me all those years ago...ouch. now we need to get the factory sound deadening out buddy, thats where i'll be calling you in for some help as i dont know how best to tackle it! i suspect a chisel! but there's no rush! we've got all winter! Phil.

win! Phil.

Update The time has come for the next incarnation of this project, which i have entitled, Operation: Less is More For the last few years this is what the rear end of my car has looked like inside, and this is where Operation: Less Is More begins: After 20 mins with a screwdriver it looked like this: A half hour later: uh-ohhhh, look what happens when u remove the spot welds of the spare wheel mount. looks like Alan-E has some welding to do!!! An hour later: A half hour later again, speaker out: Another half hour, second speaker out: And a half hour after that again...not bad w

great work sir! no farting about there!! kudos to u dude! Phil.

nice one man! Phil.

nice one man! Phil.
