So did you, get that f**king wiper motor out

And as for Bendee, 20 mins?!! are you a one armed, partially sighted female by any chance?

 

[christurbo]

Wish I had the chance! Its sick at Yoz's.

I dont want to take anymore out of the rear without taking some more out of the front.... weight distribution.

 

[Subway]

Chris - You missed abit

 

[chris509]

you are all little girls, get those carpets out

 

[Dubai182]

Chris...how about moving the battery to the boot and swapping it for a race battery?

 

[Subway]

Chris509,

Car is now sold, sorry you missed out!

 

[chris509]

[Laura]

erm im confused

 

[Fred@BTM]

Adam, you missed a bit

 

[christurbo]

Chris...how about moving the battery to the boot and swapping it for a race battery?

Yes - once my cash flow has resurrected itself from the huge amount of spending Ive done to get my 172 track worthy and repair it I will be fitting a Mocal Oil Cooler and reposition and replace battery to Race spec.

The carpet will be out when I can be arsed to take my Imolas out!

Fred - Yoz had fun getting it that stripped to sort out his wiring!

 

[Fred@BTM]

he's SUCH a drama queen!

 

[christurbo]

lol - did he get it through the MOT after?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah it passed, the notes on it were funny though

"no passenger door handle present"
"exhaust system noisy"

etc

 

[christurbo]

Bloody MOT's!

No sh1t its noisy!

So Yoz has been let loose on the Staffordshire roads in winter in his 1.2???

IM staying in! lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

yep, i drove it back from the MOT station, i could barely see over the steering wheel! (its got my carbon Suzuka in it now)

 

[BenR]

you gonna drop the steering wheel angle on it?

 

[christurbo]

Yoz does need them rather low

 

[Turkish]

Let me guess blocks of wood on your shoes like the chinese kid in Indiana Jones

 

[Fred@BTM]

no i can reach the pedals ok, its 1st and 3rd gear thats the problem

steering wheel will be getting lowered too

 

[GarethM]

nice mod fella

 

[ClioFin]

How much rear seats weight? Or spare?

 

[cK]

Adam, you missed a bit

I bet half of the interior will be broken if ever you needed to put it back in. You probably forced the dash out with a crow bar you pair of rough b******s.

 

[Pep]

i just took all of my rear seats out, spare wheel etc, need the room for picking up some new wheels next week sometime, can feel the difference in weight straight away, and even the standard exhaust with just an airfilter on actually sounds fairly good with no baffling on top!

might decide to leave them all out!!

 

[Danith]

im sorry. i cant understand. im not havin it that takin the back seats out is worth doin? im not havin a pop at ya i just dont understand it?
losing the weight of a couple of foam seats cant make a real diff?

 

[Pep]

i can see your point, i never did mine expecting more performance, like i said just needed more room in the back, and didnt want to ruin the seats etc, but the seats are heavier than you think, the backs anyway, and i suppose i had the spare wheel and jack, sub, amp, flase floor so i suppose i have shed a bit of weight just with aftermarket stuff!

i suppose it depends more on what else is in your car, but it is definately a difference.

 

[Danith]

fair enuff. makes sense on paper i guess. spose i cant knock it til ive tried it! like my alcantara/leathers tho they look smart.

 

[Pep]

yeh, i wouldnt get rid of the leather!

mine will all go back in probably next weekend!

 

[Fred@BTM]

rear seats, spare, tool kit, parcel shelf = £50kg
