NightSpirit Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Ok so maybe this is in the wrong section...this is one for the EP82 people I think, not checked on the Glanza.I was removing the bullet cam wires tonight to send it back and found a plug that I'd cable tied out of the way about 6 months ago. I followed the plug to this little box of tubes. All the tubes go to the inlet manifold so I'm thinking it's some sensor or gauge feed but it's been unplugged since I got the car over 2 years ago now...so I've removed it.Here is the box:What on earth is it? why didn't I need it? and can I simply block off the pipes or do any of them need routing to eachother etc?

GAZ@A&G_TUNING Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 think they e to do with AC I THINK, you dont need it so rip it out and block up the pipes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 A/C? ;) the wonders of Mr Toyota..why on earth would you need a feed to the manifold? figures though Gaz, the A/C went before I got the car.Oh by the way, your cage proposal is fine with me man, just PM me with the details ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SiCaln Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 lol must be hard finding parts to take off your car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I know Si...I got all excited at saving 500g. Over the weekend I was lay under the car (as you do) thinking 'what can I remove or lighten' and apart from the spare wheel and fuel tank I had no ideas. I bet the rear towing eye weighs a kilo ;)Hmmmmm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 and that kg of extra metal under the bumper ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 it is the AC control valve thing. its gay.also mark, remove the engine. be like, easy 150 kilos weight saving there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 If I also cut holes in the floor so I can push the car with my feet I'm going to save loads ;)seriously though, the other day I was trying to adjust the bullet on the front of the car with the handbrake off, I was pressing the bullet cam to move it backwards...whole fucking car rolled away.

SiCaln Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 rofl awesomeu could put metal plates in the floor, but ud then need a computer in the car to tell u that there is danger to the manifold, because the floor could fly off then! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 rofl awesomeu could put metal plates in the floor, but ud then need a computer in the car to tell u that there is danger to the manifold, because the floor could fly off then! ;)...Wait, what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I was thinking of making the whole bonnet quick release to save on the hinges but tbh I'm starting to clutch at straws now.I think it's impossible without lots of CF and FRP to get a GT below 700kg (which was my target) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 fast and the furious?! lol ah forget ithave u not got fibreglass wings that would save some weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 get some frp doors mate, sort you right out. or i can manufacture you some TC doors. from balsa wood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 The front wings weigh fuck all anyway...I got the Fast and Spurious reference, I'm still down with the kids ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 no u did, bluebear was like que? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 I can get doors made...in CF too...but I'd have to get some cross beams for the cage so any weight saving would be lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 as would the ability to easily get in and out of the car i would imagine ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 The only real thing left to save weight on now is the fuel tank and spare wheel compartment... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 yea could chop that out and just put sheet metal there, what would u do bout the wheel tho? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 just cut the car in half. and drag it about. that will save alot of weight. or, balsawood doors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 really pushing for these doors mate, Mark u may need to get em made just to stop Rick going on bout em! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
