Thank you very very much for that!!
No worries mate I love the Vectra as well be sure to start a progress thread on it. You'll be amazed the weight you can save just in sound deadening
yeah i weighed it, with the foam on the bulk head aswell there was over 12 kgs, thats the weight of my new seats.
i was wanting to fit some BTCC style seats into le nova, they just cast soooooooooo much
What happens if your screen starts to mist up and you can't see ?
I canny invest in ya and for that reason , I'm oot .
some of mine not fantastic as i tend to take pictures while building but never once finished lol
''THE REAL ROB''
what happens if you run out of fuel ??
''THE REAL ROB''
Erm , you stop driving I spose .
I canny invest in ya and for that reason , I'm oot .
same as if your screen mists up when you dont have a heater
but if your not an idiot you never have a problem with either.
you fill your tank before going for a drive, and before using a track car without a heater you treat the inside of the screen so it does not mist up.
(* however LOL im putting my heater back in, you might be able to stop the screen misting but **** me its cold doing a track day in january*)
''THE REAL ROB''
lmao , reminds me of one of the American Pie films where they treat the camera lense so it doesn't mist up in the womans showers .
1st of all it did mist and they couldn't see .
I canny invest in ya and for that reason , I'm oot .
12V fan heater, easy to to remove when you don't need it.
'power makes you faster down the straights, lightness makes you faster everywhere' mr c chapman.
they treated it wrong then try it tonight.
go out to the car with some kitchen roll and make sure a patch of the screen is dry, put some washing up liquid on another bit of cloch and rub it in untill it disappers then breath on an untreated part then the treated part and the treated bit will not mist up like the untreated.
thats a old scool motorbiker trick, i use a rainx product called fog x now and it works really really well.
''THE REAL ROB''
just read through this and what a build, all build threads should be like this with no crap, top work
Tell you what though, don't put the rain-x meant for the outside of your glass on the inside, a mate did and he couldn't see through the screen properly until he cleaned it all off (which was NOT easy!).
“Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary… that’s what gets you.”
think i will try some rain x then good call
Learnt something today then
I canny invest in ya and for that reason , I'm oot .
