Target weight is 12.5 stone ;)

Seriously, I think I can get it down to roughly 1300kg without ruining it for the road and losing the daily driver aspect.

1300 and still 'sane'!! thats pretty good going!

Last weigh in the GTR was 1350kg or so... hoping for 1300, started off about1450kg. There is nothing left in the car...

Duncan, thought you might be interested in this, there's a bolt on way of getting 8 injectors on your car available from APS

So time to cut out the beers and stop the tabs then? :thumb:

Now, that's just taking it too far Neil :lol:

Looks like something Sam and I made the day before Brands Hatch TA!

Cutting out the doors - no point sticking stuff over the top where a weight saving could be made...

U-Pol weld through primer

Amusing

Was in Halfords earlier buying some U-pol 'Acid 8' Etch Primer for a few engine bits...

Why is that amusing? :D

Just that I use the same stuff ;)

The product of professionals :)

How's your car coming along Tim - got the suspension sorted yet ?

we are human :thumb:

Those are for side feed injectors....UK and JDM cars runs Top feeds.

So can you change from a top feed set up to a side feed setup?
And how?

Thanks for that Tim - I had looked at it but it does seem like a huge overkill and very expensive. Effectively it would be almost £2k for that setup :eek:

I thought they might be expensive, but not that expensive :eek:

My car is in pieces still, the engine came back from the workshop a week or so back and is in pieces in the dining room awaiting re-assembly (needed the block at 20 degrees C to torque things down properly).

Suspension wise I might have a crack at it this weekend and fit the softer springs I have and change the rack back to the stock UK one. If I'm in the right frame of mind :rolleyes:

20 degrees C????????

Jesus Tim, get on with it and build the bu66er. I built my engine in the garage in March last year when it was barely above 5 degrees c, that survived a sh1t load more abuse than yours will for a long time.

Christ, you southeners dont half ponce about at times! ;) :D

sorry for off topic Duncan, car will look uber cool when its done. I have waited 4 months from my front wings, and still aint got them :)

Seeing this, makes me want to make the back end of the car wide again, after it took me months to get it out of my head!
