i have a pretty ok spec built up over the two years suspension arms etc and she handles fairly well, so if funds allow ill try get some powers this year as last year i only had 268 bhp...
so i got a power fc and s15 injectors for a start hopefully get some sort of afm z32 or rb25.

i decided to re shell it into anther shell that carpo donated last year, and make it as light as possible and get as much lock as possible on a small budget

so...first up

sound deadening

Nice work dude! Ye went mad with the grinder alright! :cool: I like the idea of cutting out the quarters on the outside for weight saving, would like to do this myself. I take it you cant cut up the quarters now though for more room??? What size wheels and tyres are you running?

Bit if you cut the quarters up on the outside you will have a gap with nothing there from the rear of the wheel arch to the front of the wheel arch and it will be flimsy and ruin the structure of the arch will it not??????

Did the quarters save much?...
Also, that foam that fills gaps may come in handy, gives the fibreglass quarter a bit of support.

ive more than just the quarters gone, all boot floor, and all the section from the back of rear seats and all the rear shelf is gone, possibly more too

Some great work there!! Jay told me before that if you cut the quarter panels there's a chance that the body of the car will flex out of shape. How did you prevent this??
15-12-11, 14:22
damo86

I havent them fully cut yet. Just the center piece. The main structure is all stil there if you get me
