a decent bucket will be half the weight, if not less than the original front seats.
i removed mine recently, and needed two hands and a fairly strong grip to move them, i can lift the Cobra Evolution replacment with one hand!

give Andy a call, as i know they are doing good deals on the new ATP bodies they are selling.
Never know what he might be able to do for you! :D
Mainly for Data Logging initially. But also gives us options for the future, with extra injectors etc etc. Plus its plug and play with Racelogic stuff, should we chose to use thier dash or camera setups.
I met Richard from Omex today at Autosport, ran through it all with me. Top guy! and...
thats a spare engine i picked up, then took to GDI for full build!
so will be at the meet!
tho the state of the interior may be questionable! lol
depends if i can sort the paint by then, if not it might just be in primer!
Engine is having throttle bodies as in pic, plus cams, valve springs,high comp pistons and forged rods. port & polish, full lighten and balance. Omex 710 ECU.
Should be good for a genuine 240bhp.
anyone see my engine sitting proud on GDI's stand at the Autosport show?
for anyone that missed it, a few snaps.... :D
It is just a mock up at the mo, as engine has no internals etc. (waiting on the bits)
but should be pretty fruity when done!
its the same sort of money i would spend on building the car to a track spec anyways.
ok due to Time Attack it might of happen quicker than normal, but i still would of done it this way.
As for winning, whilst i am gonna do my best at doing so, if i dont, then i dont. Its not like this is...
there is plenty of weight you could lose.
just depends how extreme you wanted to go.
and most people who have bought a brand new car are not fond of ripping it to peices.
i reckon 12-18 months time fully stripped ones, caged etc will be about.
Seats are around £675 +VAT each. but i pulled a few strings and paid far less than that!
As for the dash, i asked Mark just to cut it quick and get it in. There was no point paying him labour for something i can do. So it will be tidied, and flocked, and will look pimp!
wow!!
so many questions!! lol.
i am gonna clean up the dash before its flocked. i basically said to Mark Fish, just get it in, and i can do any adjustment, as the labour bill would of been even more!! lol
As for it going through to the struts, i have to say its does not.
basically it...
thats fair enough mate, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I am not too bothered about how 'good' a weld looks. i am more interested in good penetration etc. I rather have an ugly good weld, that a good looking poor weld!
I know ben saved all that labour money, but without...
so i am well on the way to having the chassis ready for my attempt at Time Attack this year.
I went for the OMP multipoint weld in cage. As it had a good design, and would really add to the stiffness of the car.
I was thinking of attempting to fit it myself, but after deciding that i...
this is the best time to do it.
short session, gives you a taste.
and you can drive as fast or as slow as you like!
always useful to get pointers from people as you go round to, see hwat lines people take, where they brake etc etc.
so.... get ya name down!!
those in the pic i beleived where running 26psi, but i think in actual fact it was closer to 28psi.
and as said above, its all right handers, so that tyre got some serious abuse.
the tyres where scrubbed in, just on the road for about 300 miles. But as for scrubbing them, letting them...
