Weight saving is one of the best mods you can do.
Jim
now you've called me a fool denny, i wont be nice to you.
his plans are absolutely rubbish, if i was his miss's i would be pleading with him not to do them. the sheer imbarressment of going round in his nova would not be worth considering.
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
LMFAO, You chatting Wak bruv :P Like slim said weight saving is a great mod, have you felt how heavy a door is with all the window internals in. Its well heavy, ive got lots planned and i now have more money to do it but it will be a slow process

denny is a sound lad, and i get on really well. so dont get the wrong impression
I love it when a plan comes together!

Young one i can see your confusion, they are not going in my car yet, ive got 2 dorrs that i want to put perspex windows in, when the dorrs go on the car will be off the road getting preped and having all the stuff i want done to it
So what if he puts perspex windows in a standard car. He's modifying it as he wants to. It's not your car so stop b****ing, otherwise I'll bend you over my knee... :P

You cannot use perspex
When perspex brakes its more dangerous than glass.
Perspex is not used on rally cars, its called Polycarbonate.
it took me 10 mins to read the message then another 15 to write it.lol
(referes to me being on the drink from 11)
Don't forget a nice fibreglass boot and bonnet while your trying to save wieght!
Got a fibreglass hatch with poly windows on the rally car...what a difference, I can pick up the hatch with my little finger!

nice one.
and Mark the fibreglass Bootlid and poly window is cracked light alright, i have that too.
and jim.....im worried about you! what would your missus say! :lol:
Thats for me to know! ;)
I meant polycarbonate...honest :$ I think if you were to go to a supplier and ask for perspex windows, they would probably say "dont you mean polycarbonate" My bad, apologies for the confusion.
Dim, erm, I mean Jim, no wait...
I will ring the place in the morning and see what they can offer me for polycarbonate windows, + they must have sliders that will be sooooo coooollll :roll: :roll:
Now i'm not trying to be funny but how do you stop people getting into you car when its parked on the street or in town? :?:

dont know if you have noticed this, but those things that rattle in your pocket are called keys. you place one of them in a hole in the door. and turn. this operates a thing called a lock. quiet simple really.
:D :D
polycarb is really tuff stuff. they use it in greenhouses and conservatrees (sp) so the little angles in the street dont accidentally place a rock through it.

funny bastard :lol: :lol:
i was gunna ask this so ill rephrase it i take theres a way of lockin the sliders
i take theres a way of lockin the sliders
Yes, from the inside there is a little pin that stops the slider from going back. Besides, if you trim down the door pin, if someone did get thier arm through the window they wouldn't be able to lift up the lock anyway.
Jim
cheers epo i was only asking a simple question seeing as thought i have seen inside may cars with these windows
Got a Price
191 + Vat for Polycarb with slider in clear
200 + Vat for same in bronze
Where from Denny? and how many windows is that for?
I got there name and number somewhere but not sure how many windows
Hopefully that would be for front doors, rear quarters and hatch...
Get your self a heated front screen too and do away with the heater and all the assosiated bits!
Isn't it true that perspex windows are easy to remove (by thieves) because they "flex" and pop out without breaking?????
Not very secure....
It depends on how well you secure them in the first place, but on the whole, yes they are slightly less secure....but lets be honest, if someone wants to break into a Nova the type of window fitted is not going to make the slightest difference.

For all u people who want to know :-
Most common place 2 get perspex windows from is
AIREDALE RACE COMPONENTS
01423 360456
Two options available as to which material to use
Either Perspex (which can shatter, but scratches can be polished out) or
Polycaronate (which is unbreakable but can't polish scatchest out !)
Both are available with or without 'Slider' windows - The finished product is excellent, the slider runners/window are cnc machined, and come pre-assembled
Availabe clear or tinted
I Can't remember the prices but the guy on the other end of the phone is very helpful !!!!
Another cheaper option (carried out by a mate to his rally car) is to hunt high and low around scrap yards for ex police vehicles (Riot van) - Take the tinted polycarbonate side windows out (usualy not scratched due to mesh covers over them) - give the guy in the office a couple of quid - use your old glass as a template and simply cut round with a jigsaw !!
Hay preso - cheap polycarbonate windows !!! LOL
Hope that answers some of the questions !!!
Cheers
Dave
