Laguna shaft used on n/s which is 700mm long opposed to the 660 of the original cup one. For the drivers side shaft I spaced the cv joint 5mm off the back of the hubs as well but you need to modify the original hub nuts. If you wanted to you can put a spacer on the g/box where the o/s shaft goes...

Drivers side shaft copes with the extra track width admirably well. It's the n/s that throws a wobbler. I know - I've done it.

Thats another reason why I fucked everything off on mine and just run with a roof vent instead!! Much simpler!

R-sport sell them.

Agreed!

New rules!!;)

​Fpmsl!!

Lowers the C of G mate.

It is for removing high up weight though!

Not a fairy myth after all! Lol

They were weighed on scales mate and no, the weights are just the glass.

The screen is only different because it doesn't have the rain sensors on for the auto wipers. The front door glass on the cup is allegedly thinner, but I'm not entirely sure I believe a word of it. It's a lot of effort for a pretty insignificant gain.

I think there's about 2-2.5 kgs in the electric motors for the windows (been a long time since I stripped mine and weighed EVERYTHING), but it won't be too far off as an estimate. As for the mirrors I'm not entirely sure it's worth the effort for saving possibly 1/2 a kg. I just removed the...

I know a few people who run the 25's on ac equipped 1*2's without issue mate.

I would imagine so mate. Mine gets drained (slightly) by the alarm, but its never been enough that it won't start or struggles to start.

Mine is fine (redtop 25) and when it's not in use its plugged into a c-tek battery conditioner.

I would imagine so mate! Can't think of any reason why they would be different.

Lol @ 'b*****d!' FYI tony - Martin was at the back row in that Donington race due to wheel bearing failure in race 1!

No, no, it still is nothing special! Lol! No sandbagging required! :o

I'll ask him today when I go to see him! Lol!

That looks absolutely mint James!! I'm really really impressed! You've certainly shown that you've come on a long way in all areas since all the disasters from last year!

Tony, have a watch of this! This is car number #111 who won at castle combe this weekend. Check out the nice bit of grass cutting at the start! Lol! http://youtu.be/lxvzt3i-6IU

Front door glass: 3.5kg each. Rear qtr glass: 3.5kg each. Rear heated screen: 7.5kg. Front polycarb: 2kg each. Rear qtr polycarb: 1.5kg each. Rear screen polycarb: 3kg. ​

​Poser!!! Lol!

And the rest Nick!! This bit of kit was actually on my hit list though a while ago. Engine spec has been 'calmed' now though.

A standard 197 inlet will see 230hp anyway if you spec the engine correctly. I know this. ;) Also, converting a 172 manifold to fit on a 197 or vice versa is a hideous job. I've done the 197 inlet on to a 172 head and I know how far out the ports are. The only real way to do it properly is to...

Glad to hear the exhaust got the db's down tony!! I'm waiting on the video from #111......

Hello, no not even looked at it tbh. I dropped on to some choice bits and pieces for the engine which means its going down the high comp screamer route now. I don't have a build thread either I'm afraid.

6.5j - ideal width for 205/50's as well. I agree though, they look so much better than 2118's!

Thats what mine are - et35. Yeah they're lighter than 2118's as well. The 16" turinis are lighter than the 15' 2118's iirc.
