NightSpirit Posted November 4, 2008 Author Posted November 4, 2008 Cheers Driver Glad the car makes you happy When I get the car back Si, I'll give you a shout and we can hug in a manly fashion down the pub...The exhaust weighs 12kg or something. We're 35kg from breaking 700kg barrier Quote
SiCaln Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 yay manly hugs, i mean whateverthast an awesome achievement man, whats the power to weight running at if u hit 700kg?and where are u gna lose that extra weight?!are u gna hit the gym Quote
RobSR Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 all that useless metal inside...also you could chop out the front cross member of the chassis which weighs a ton and put in a chromoly tube which is stronger and lighter Quote
Galliano Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 haha at comments...jade goodie, thats a good-n.wouldnt removing the spare wheel recess not only remove the ugly hole in the back, but also save alot of weight? Quote
SiCaln Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 yea thats a good point, i had mine removed, piece of chequer plate over the hole jobs a good-un Quote
NightSpirit Posted November 4, 2008 Author Posted November 4, 2008 Look forward to it Si Already one step ahead of you...floor pan is coming out, making way for a fuel cell in the boot..which is going to fit the stock pump another thing we're thinking of offering in the future (although that'd be quite a specialist thing)Removing the catch tank, water bottle (bag replacement...maybe), spare metal in the car, fuel tank it should all add up.Got friends visiting this weekend with their TT Supes so we're heading over to have the plugs done...it's an excuse for me to maybe whip the fuel tank out (not much else i can do as my mig welding skillz are wank) Quote
SiCaln Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 ah got ya, that should make a nice difference dudelike your hugs do to my life Quote
NightSpirit Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 Well I whipped out the catch can this weekend and ran the filter to the drivers side area, saving 1.14kg...also with the N1 exhaust gone, that's 13kg saved!James is waiting on a flange being made for the downpipe then he's going to make the exhaust.Keep finding extra things to do, I've also bought an alloy racing radiator from an EK Civic to fit on the car, we're making up a custom shrowd for the fan to make it efficient. If I get chance in the next few weeks we'll get the fuel tank out and measure up for the cell. The next time the EP hits the road it should be a very different beast (again) lolOne day I'll leave it alone and just drive it... Quote
Mikey Jay Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 One day I'll leave it alone and just drive it...yeah yeah, sure On a more serious note, updates/upcoming updates sound good Quote
SiCaln Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 never gonna happen man, you know it and i know it Quote
NightSpirit Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 It's like a disease...Si 348hp per tonne if I keep the same power and get it down to 700kg...who knows if I hike the power up. Quote

NightSpirit Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 Hi Si,The car's at Toyota GT in WinchField at the moment...doesn't look likely I'll get it back before the new year now (no rush). I'm considering making up some door cards in acrylic, need a spare door card maybe? Quote
SiCaln Posted November 24, 2008 Posted November 24, 2008 yea good call man, ah right, really needed to use a press and a ramp lolno worries good progress dude Quote

NightSpirit Posted November 24, 2008 Author Posted November 24, 2008 That's a 3S block in the background there...we were using it to steady the car when it was up on the ramps pink rad is up for sale, bit tatty and tbh, I 'doubt' it's a Yashio item...it did however keep the temps below 90deg on track....hmmmmm.The exhaust James is building is savage, end of story. Not going into details but it's SILLY lol Quote
