SS dairy tube exhaust is in. Cat and mid resonator are out, cost me $100 to get it tig’d up & $80 for two vbands. ABS is out and custom brake lines made and fitted. Bought a double flare tool and 3/16 tube bender to do the job. Much cheaper than premade.

More weight saving been going on. Even the handbrake is gone. Exhaust out - mild steel sections being replaced with SS. Bonnet hinges gone. Started making a splitter with left over polycarb.

Good discussion. So,,,,,for a 182 non cup, track only car,,,can the abs be removed without changing master cyl?? Sounds like yes but the speedo won’t work.

Between the passenger seat rails flat on the floor. Put some closed cell foam down. Bolts some steel strap straight through the floor.

just found this old thread. . . I just pulled my PAS and pipes (182 track only car with PMS AC delete fitted). Used all the old ends to make bungs and a loop - did the whole job without removing the rack. Saves about 6kg including fluid. Havent been on track with it yet.
Just yanked my pas pump and pipes. Used the pipes I removed to make a loop and bungs - all fitted insitu. Saves about 6kg.

Pretty sure the original boots were swaged flush into the metal cover. This looks like it has a replacement boot fitted over the metal cover which is exactly what i did when my boot tore.

Ahhh weight saving. A fave topic on here. My advice is go nuts;
Gut all the internals out; strip the tar with dry ice, etc etc then build it up. It’s all been done many many times on here.

Plastic windows to be made from 3mm polycarbonate. Glass side windows weigh 3kg each with rubber trims. Manfield times running around 1.24.5

Ha can't wait to see your car. All internals, tar, half dash, gutted headlights, brackets, etc. Going to go for a PAS delete I think - arm strong steering.

Been racing and is still going strong! Have recently added vented discs, PMS strut brace& top mounts, more weight loss.

my car (172) had a flat battery and then would not start with with a charge or new battery, lots of turning no firing. Have had this happen before. The 'fix' this time was to turn the key all the way to the last position and leave it on for a good 30secs. OFf and then it fired. Maybe lack of...
