Nice one for keeping the heaters Dave. I really dont see the point in ditching a matrix & some ducting etc for the sake of a few KGs which could ruin a track day or time out playing through misted screens etc.

[robertkassner]

Looking good dave!!

[philip2]

just get a 12v blower to clear screen, job done, thats what ill be running in mine.

jamie226 off VS has similar blower too.

each to their own, the wiring behind the dash and under seats is a bitch to tidy, takes forever

[DaveB]

Yip; could have cut loads more out tbh. But I got lost in the wiring diagrams so gave up halfway through. Got rid of the obvious bits though

[alistairolsen]

turn on everythign you need, start cutting out wires with what you can remember of the wiring diagram

When it stops working, youve ****ed up :P

[DaveB]

Didnt' want to cut wires with stuff running

[DaveB]

Fitted my square numberplate tonight to let the oil cooler and radiator have abit more air



Totally made a hash of the holes I'd drilled previously though, so I'll be cutting out the numberplate recess in full and putting some black mesh in its place.

Also fitted my Mtech nylon gear linkage bushes. No pictures as my hands were covered in oil and grease.

[namkeaps]

hate square number plates but because you have a good reason for it i can fully understand why it has to be done

[DaveB]

Oh, on a side note it weighs 239grams less than a full size one

[namkeaps]

very anal that Dave!

ssh Rang you last night Ads to return them but you didn't answer.

[philip2]

dont worry, i thought id cut out my eleccy windows, stereo wiring and a few other bits....forgot to put hazard swtich in so wouldnt cut the wires....what i do....cut the hazard switch and no idea which wires where which when i realised.

then after tidying the wiring up, using half the dash etc...i ripped the whole lot out and used the bare essentials of the loom and made a new loom/switch panel etc

[DaveB]

Went to get camber/tracking done as the camber was way way off after replacing my springs some 7months ago


More Weight Saving:



Oh, weight saved by removing the aerial stump aswell and then filling it with a lightweight but adhesive material


PS. Anyone else still got their PV race numbers on?

[adam c]

is that at the garage thats next door to halford's in huddersfield?

[astragsi]

i would fit a sticky number plate underneath the bonnet pins, look cool and more weight saving than the square one

[DaveB]

Corsa_xe, it was at Gordons Tyres in Wakefield.

Sticky numberplates are lighter, but illegal

Last night was great, not.

Hopefully getting a bare XE at the weekend as a spare

im guessing oil light maybe come on, bad leak on sump or oil pump seal??

[DaveB]

It wasn't terminal enough to stop me absolutely nailing a scooby poo on the way home. Got a thumbs up

[philip2]

damn.was hoping simps was right


car sorted now??? bet the lad was thinking to himself...tosser as he gave you a thumbs up

[Mark_F]

What was up with the plate? I've got one the same size, but with more trimmed off it. Standard font / spacing. Never had any problems.

Was it the lack of the maker's code?
