Would probably ruin the sleeper look, unless someone spotted the side exit pipe :D

When you hear it the sleeper part goes out the window [emoji23]

Lol I was revving it in the garage earlier giving it the weekly start, it's like a shotgun when she pops :)

I've just thought, what did you ever do with the old engine? I've been wondering on getting a new intake with a trumpet to force more air into the engine and hopefully gain any extra power I can (and it'll sound very rude :D)

New year weight loss starting tommorrow :) I've lost a stone myself and hoping to get at least 50kg's out of the car too :), hoping to get easily under 1100kg

Cheers I don't know how much more extreme To go as the car will be doing 3-4000 road miles this year too, I'm going to start removing redundant wiring, there will be a few k's there, debating to strip rear doors or not, will prob only be 3kg a side maybe a bit more, and to work out how to hold window up without a regulator :)

Looking good Trevor can't wait to see it again and on track!

Let us know costs and i'll get some [emoji38]

With the weight saving I found most of the interior was quite light. Seats and the carpet underlay were heavy but door cards etc were light anyway.

I just removed the whole inner door panel on my rear doors and drilled a hole on the inside of the door to fit a long bolt thru to hold the glass up.
