Ive gone hardcore with stripping! 1st did mine like you. Then carpets and sound deadening came out (3 days with scrapper and heat gun) then door cards . . .
Now when done she will have no dash, heaters, etc Just 2 seats, cage and steering wheel LOL!
I removed head unit and door speakers as when stripped i couldnt hear it ven on full volume so what was point? ha ha

and you can ignore simple tyre manufacturer FACTs and advise on tyre sizes on rim widths.. for that stretched look.
very impressive

deep down chris i they are thinking of your best interest - honest
having seen a turbo 16v spool up personally i'd want a dry track and slicks on it

i'm going to be getting Toyos R888s for the multi spoke wheels, they're my track tyres
so nankangs for the pimping, and the toyos for the dragging and racing

traction isn't that bad with a charger though, as the power is much smoother and not all or nothing like a turbo!
tyre choise . . .thats an interesting one! i personally prefere tyres with a little less grip as you can hold controlled sliding, where as really good ones are grip, grip, grip and then without warning your going sideways way to fast towards something un-breakable!

i cant be arsed in taking the whole engine apart lol, pistons possibly later if i want to get more power out of it
all I'm thinking is it's hardly a budget build already.... so why not chuck a few quid at the one thing that's worth doing right.
or is it all skinny tyres on wide rims?

I spoke to Nando about pistons... Apparently there is a Turbo'd ABF running 18psi on stacked HG's that has been fine for nearly two years.
I personally am going to get some low comp pistons eventually, but they aren't imperative if you're only running an Eaton.
the HG's will do for now, i wanted to get it boosting first, cant rag it for the 1st 1000 miles really anyway to let everything bed in, then i'll see what i've got money wise to upgrade things on. Pistons will happen, just not now
