Latest saloon update, new pics (monday)
-
stripped out look :twisted: :twisted:
looks good, are you going to get some bucket's in there?
-
thats not stripped out lol, i can still see some interior panels
-
even the gear gaitor is still on..
i don't see the point in "stripping out" unless your really aftrer performance. i'd much prefer nice warm carpets
-
whats with the rear seat belts and i an see so many little clips left on still, are you worried about hurting your little ears aswell??? if not get rid of that sound deadening
-
Well as anyone with a bit of sence would realise it not finished yet....
ill take some pics tomorrow when ive cleaned up the floor and taken dash out.
I took the pics before i finished it hense the belts still being in!

The 1.4 will be tuned nicely, nothing to major like Benji or CP but something with a bit of go.
Got some more pics today, took a total of 50-53Kgs (8stone) out today, weighed it n all.

get rid of the heater matrix
-
yep bin that matrix, and the seat mounts etc lose all the weight you can
-
I'm keeping two seats so i can carry a mate if i go anywhere, heater matrix will go.
But at least im going all out and doing it properly!
Doing something right for once!

brilliant but you've still got all that extra weight of it being a saloon so why bother with it. I personally cant think of any advantadges of the saloon over the hatch other than it being different

Thats EXACTLY why im doing it, not sure if you've seen my other nova but i like to be different, trying something you dont see all the time.
You could say why bother, you could also say, why not.

thought your car was on fire for as second there. lol.

-
lookin good neil mate its just missing 398cc
soon sort that out though :wink:
-
-
saloon shell is only about 5kg heavier than the hatch
this is due to the bootlid being of much less substantial construction to the tailgate and the weight saved here and in the lack of all the hatch supports in the roof makes up for the extra foot of metal
dumping the heater might be a silly idea in the dead of winter like just now
yer ok you'll save another 5-10kg but you'll freeze your ass off, may as well keep it in and keep warm imo
