How much weight you reckon you've saved ian?

If i take the dash out the air con stuff is deffo coming out and id be flocking the dash.

 

[ian_cupra]

not a great deal, maybe 30kgs max, but thats all the wooly stuff under the carpet too, shed loads of it.

i was going to remove air-con stuff, but i couldnt work it out, plus needed the car in working order for tomorrow.

dash will be much easier to remove next time, now i know what i'm doing with it, plus the loom isn't cable tied to it in a thousand places

 

[PhilW]

Glad you said it will be easier next time, as you can guid me through it when i do it. lmao.

 

[ian_cupra]

haha, no worries mate, i need to find out exactly what can come out from behind the dash though, i know alex has done it, but didnt he remove the hole lot, fans and everything???

just read this one from start to finish mate.... you really have done a good job,,, a lot of money spent on performance.... looks good to. interior certainly looks different to the outside

cheers

 

[ian_cupra]

i like to keep the outside looking sheepish, keeping most the mods under the bonnet and to the weight loss
yeah and alot more to spend to get it finished

 

[ian_cupra]

Gave it a little clean up, first clay, primer and wax of the year enjoy

[ian_cupra]

Hi Ian just got round to reading your thread to find out more about your K03S hybrid the figures in your sig seem low is that because you dont have the mani?
Or is that the max power of the turbo?
As I'm thinking that maybe the route I will go down if those figures can be better
