saloon track car

[stevie-p]

after months of thinking i have decided to turn my saloon into a track car
but have never actually seen one i will be leaving the rear seats in and putting a 1.6 8v in with twin 40's with polished head etc
a front and rear strut am unsure of a cage was thinking about a half cage i want it as light as possible without going to mad on stripping things out as its also an everyday car i will be starting as soon as funds start coming in
has anybody got any pictures or links of one not necasarilly a nova saloon but something similar thanks
steve :)

Light as possible? Leaving rear seats in? Sorry but AFPMSL!

[stevie-p]

i cant see it making too much of a differance as the floor is the same shape and i need the seats in there for the family its my everyday car which is why i am not going to mad on it for now when i get something differant i will fully strip it

Do you have any idea how heavy Nova rear seats actually are though chap? They weight a funking tonne!!

no i dont i just assumed the saloon ones did not weigh too much because the shell is the same shape i think:confused:

if they are that heavy i can do away with them i suppose

lol theres a big metal plate in the loon, behind the rear seats lol

[stevie-p]

arn't the seats on somthing the same shape a frame or something

[General Baxter]

if they are that heavy

slinging the rear seats will save you funk all as they are nothing like the hatch ones. they are literally two bits of foam. to be fair i wouldnt bother stripping any of it until you get another car. stripped cars are far to loud to be used as a family

oh and baxter you fail at weight saving

[stevie-p]

i dident think they weighed anything thanks buddy i will not take them out at all then and i am not going to strip much the carpet and that is staying till i get my project
