| I'm not going to 'hide' it as such, it'll probably end up pclipped along the bottom of the door, but it will be tidied up abit. I can't do with things rattling around

| Cams were fitted last night; noticeable improvement in pulling power and torque Roads were wet so it was a waste of time trying to gauge their performance. Sounds class on idle too  | |

| Depends if you know what "the money" was in this particular case 
Standard pulleys. Inlet is stock, head is not. | |

| No further updates really, bar the cams being fitted.
I took the car to be weighed yesterday morning. I was hoping for sub 800kg but was sadly over-estimating  
Total weight with half a tank of fuel was 880kg. Therefore, I guess I need to carry on loosing weight off the car  It has amused me massively though that all these people with 'stripped' out corsas are probably still well above 1000kg! | |

| ...that's without me in the car; and I only weigh 11stone.
It has both anti roll bars fitted, the rear cage is heavier than an OMP one in total I think.
With the best will in the world; ie. removing all dash, sound deadening and replacing many parts with lighter ones I think I'd still struggle to get it much below 800kg.
Benn; nova is 100kg less on just the chassis vs chassis comparison! | |

So you'll be staying about the weigh that car is now then? 880 isnt bad really. Would have thought that we be around most track cars.. | |

| My old car was 900kg thats with C16XE and OMP 10 point cage, the reshell will be around 940kg i reckon with welded multi point cage. Was pleased to see yours at 880kg that sorts of backs up the argument that on average we give around 100kg away to Novas. | |
