    Drags. If i can get it to steer again without adding power steering it'll see some circuit action though

    Decided that i am going to do whatever it takes to make this car go 12.99 so I can finally move on with my life lol.

    Will run two fronts seats. Contradictory to what i have done to this car I can't claim it to be a street car or even a car if it can only have one person inside.

    So took out the window washer, lines and wiring. Same as with the central locking. Got 1.5kg's out. (All of which is for up for grabs if you are needing those parts)

    Made solid front crossmember mounts out of 2" steam pipe welded to the rail. Will get pictures later.

    Solid mounts and 14kg springs are a good compromise

    Picture of crossmember mounts. Old rubber ones were horrid with solid front motor mount(shook violently rolling off clutch) Car is much better now.



    Were piece of piss to make. Probably should have put rustproofing on them but oh well

    Finally got manual regulators that weren't going to cost me $400 so put them in, removed the power windows wiring and the side intrusion bar.

    Weight saved ~5kg with the foor inner cut out should be around 7kg saved, per door!

    Here i was thinking i was running out of free/easy reductions.

    This weekend i will be removing the front sway bar.
