NightSpirit Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Some very good points there I'm thinking, remove PAS finish off removing the sound deadening...then potentially, make an ally dashboard. There's nothing left of the dash anyway now, just the bolts holding it in place.Is there a how to or any pointers on where the PAS is located? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gaz Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I think we should start making a list of what will be left of the car. It will be a shorter list lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 i got my wires crossed, wrong type of armrests lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 there is so little of the car left now...lol..poor ep.It makes doing any job really easy though Tried to find some dry ice to aid with the sound deadening removal but couldn't so heatgun it is.

NightSpirit Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Right, the nasty stuff is out and with the help of some serious adhesive remover it's not looking too shabby.Forgot about the sound deadening on the bulkhead at the front (behind dash) so tonight the dashboard is coming out to get that finished...then I'm going to 'remodel' the dash Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jozinobi Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Sell your 7 point and buy a 10 point Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 Lol...I am thinking of selling the 7 point to buy a 10 point but not just yet!Mart, I'll try and get a few pics and a how to up tonight (on the dashboard) but it's rather messy in there... as the car is track and I'm not after winning any concourse competitions the finish on the floor isn't perfect. But it's done the job. All you need is a heatgun, scraper and a tin of EvoStick adhesive remover...and a bit of patience although it's not a big/bad job to do. Will also post up the weight too.

NightSpirit Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 A little update fat fighters I need to weigh the sound deadening as the scales we have were broken under the sheer weight of the stuff The dash is off to be cut down to size and the cross beam is getting a touch up before it's refit...

NightSpirit Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 I haven't reduced the loom yet, main thing was getting the dash and bar out...but I'll have a look at that I think I think I'll just leave the steering wheel on the floor and sit with it in my lap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nick_p Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Good work dude, good to see you going so far with the weight saving It will be good to see how much the car weighs after you have finished Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NightSpirit Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Phil the cage, a safety 21 jobbie costs about £300 tops with delivery...so not too bad if you're thinking of one they really do stiffen up the chassis and look cool.The car's already down below 800kg as it is, with the dash and PAS should save a bit more but then the really time consuming and expensive mods start (or in my case don't start as it's not economically viable)My wife's a vet and at her practice they have a rather sexy digital walk on scale for fat dogs (and their owners) so I'm going to have to weigh the sound deadening and other crap on that after hours lol.Now does anyone know what I can and can't strip from the loom? there's several denso circuit openers/relays etc that I have no idea what they do.

Superlite Ltd Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Remember un-sprung weight makes more of a difference than sprung weight. Get some billet centre split rims that weight about 8kg less than a normal alloy per wheel They make a massive difference Quote Link to post Share on other sites
