Hope your still coming to the meets

That's Destined for Victory Trophy. PM him

Not anymore, just been pulled for it!

just need to repair the 4" hole that was left!

Wednsday 30th July. Where's the monaco gone?

Hi Fin, it's good. much quieter in the car than before, think the angle away has helped, cos it's seems only a bit quieter outside the car. no droneing whatsoever. Now i can't believe how noisy my throttle bodies are!

Got it and the photos on a DVD, will bring it to the next meet. how many are wanted? PM me. Daz

Re: cup weight saveing It is,i weighed it. all soundproofing mind.

Re: cup weight saveing No not tar stuff as my cup don't have it either. look behind the pedals - remove that soundproofing, ( brown stuff) it's quite heavy. there was similar stuff in the front footwells too

Re: cup weight saveing yes it's a proper cup. it has less sound proofing. look under your carpets, you will find it. look under your bonnet, the black carpet stuff is also sound proofing. the tar stuff is like dynamat, it stops the panels vibrating and resonating

Re: cup weight saveing No, it means i can be a fatty, and my car is still as quick as a FF! LOL :lolup: Did you know a litre of water weighs 1 kg?

Harnesses should work better than seatbelts if fitted correctly, so i think they should be ok, but mot testers are a funny bunch!

Re: cup weight saveing a 172 cup is reportedly 80kgs lighter and 0.4 secs to 60 quicker than a FF shed weight = faster car that's why a 500kg kitcar with a 140bhp engine is stupidly quick

Re: cup weight saveing nick the bathroom scales and find out - but i would say about that all the soundproofing weighs 20kgs - i know, i took it out weighd it, and threw it away lol

Not according to this: http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_510.htm it says about halfway down that a 3 point seatbelt has to be fitted. however i'm no expert, best ask a local mot garage

Re: cup weight saveing Nah, Renault just had a surplus of foglights. Handy on foggy track days!

Re: cup weight saveing rear wiper mechanism weighs a kilo if your lucky - i was dissapointed with the weight save when i removed mine. would have saved more by not eating them chips last night!

i believe normal seat belts still have to be fitted and working, if originally fitted, for an MOT, even if harnesses are fitted. i know you can just have harnesses for kitcars. harnesses can be fitted to normal seats but tbh is it really worth it unless it sees a lot of track use; you won't be...

i believe seat belts are required for an MOT, don't quote me on that!

yes it will or use a heat shield. Saying that unless it's touching i wouldn't think it would melt it

Got mine back tonight................ oh poor old Fin had some right fun and games! Because i wanted max performance (track day car) i wanted a 2.5 inch system with no cat. when fin put the first system together i had 107 dB at 3000 rpm, loud is one way to put it! so Fin changed the rear box...

If you'd like to see it, i can sort out a DVD of it, if you want. It's also a bit big to put up. 38 mins long.

Mine's going in next week, can't wait

i don't feel sorry for him that little 1.6 don't hang about! lol he wasn't holding anyone up as far as i'm aware and when you get to the legal limit, it doesn't matter if you have 40 bhp or 400 ;)

i don't think my cup would beat your valver tbh, weight has a lot to do with it!

why thank-you well get yourself to the next one, you don't know what your missing out on :race:

you weren't even in the line, you had to be special and arrive late and park on your own! :nono:

Next time can we all park in a straight line, looks more professional! lol :rasp:

18's will be fine if you have some rubber bands on them!

if it's jumping out of gear, the dogbone could be the cause.if it crunches into gear then the syncromesh is toast and you need it rebuilt. release bearings do get noisy when they have no pressure on them, but will usually last as long as the clutch does.
