Good purchase! I hope 45mm is enough lol!

 

[ben_r1]

Try ktecs carbon lorraine brake fluid, the pedal feel you get from it is unbelievable, like driving a different car!

They are 60mm mate

Doesnt need to be bottomed out to handle, will just have to see what works best

Lol ah right I thought they were 45mm on the rear!

Im sure it will be great no matter what the height but lower will sort the 4x4 stance!

Aye, stiffer is the main benifit to zero out the body roll!

Not sure, sticking with 15s for the alloys, nice n light!

 

[A2ON]

Ohh 15" even better need to get some 888's probally the best mod second to striping 4 a track car as u know mate sticky rubber is brill.

Good thing about 15" lots of slick / part worn 888 laying around from race series's etc

Finally did u weigh all the stuff what came out ?

 

[mark_1873]

You Jammy bugger with the history of that car for the price you paid :lol:

Some great progress mate, I'm sure you stood about and let your mate rapidly do all that himself though. He seemed to know his way about your 197 with eyes shut :tongue_smilie:

Are you getting a heavier Red Top or Odyssey for the rear to use as ballast ?

Will he post mate?

 

[kevo66 (weaveworx)]

Me old mate and car partner has been busy today too!!

Whipped the rest of the dash out, and all of the sound deadning, then the heater matrix and clutter out.

Just need a U bend to blank off the heater rad thing then we're set for re-assemblage. Plenty of wiring to sort through and lighten!!

 

[richandgem]

looking good mate

 

[Paul]

Looking bare mate! Good effort!

 

[Turu]

I have one question. The "blanket" that is behind the dash (the one that looks brownish in the picure), how much it weights? I am thinking about taking it out in my 197 if it weights enough, and in that picture looks pretty much the same as in the 197.

 

[actionpacked]

do you know the weight of the vehicle now stripped?
