The Racetractor. The End.

How much is an estate over a hatch do we know? Would have thought another 50kg or so with the extra glass and metal?

Official weights (both HDi Meridians) Hatch - 1155kg, Estate 1200kg, so you're about right.

[Ruan]

Xantias beet 406s everytime for me...same power...less weight...same equipment...more comfort!!

Anyway...
Weighed the car today...

1180kg with half a tank of fuel.

My DT came in at 1030-1040kg when I weighed it, again with half a tank, no rear bench...

So yeah, 140kg less... I'd say that's about right...

[Piggy]

1040 is very light...

Rear bench cant be 100kg surely?!

---

Theres no way that a xud11 lump is heavier by 40kg!!!

Esp as my whole car comes in at 30kg ish less than a gti6 book weight

[Tom]

According to the title i missed the bit where you fitted a vnt

[Ruan]

Yours has a lot more in than mine did, mine was a bit of a barran wilderness inside.

Amps, subs, carpets, I had Buckets in also..

[Piggy]

And alllll that flock!!

Phew that was hard work

TBs came out sooooo nice.....but the ARBs were proper seized in.

Difference between 19mm and new 21mm torsion bars...

[attachment=16988]

So upgraded from

19mm ARB to 20mm
19mm TBs to 21mms

[Anton]

Did you measure it with a vernier? If so what was the measurement?

[Piggy]

What was the measurement for what mate?

[Anton]

The tbs sorry.

[Piggy]

TBs were 19mm (cabby beam) now they are 21s

Yeah, digital verniers used

[Anton]

So 21.00?

[Piggy]

Yeah mate 21s!!!

How it sits now...

Measured at identical distance to arch as with 19s but now sits about 15mm higher.

I know some wont like that...but its exactly what I wanted.
Nice n level now

And the drive is transformed...didnt realise quite what a difference they would make!!!

[Anton]

Lol find that hard to believe with the paint that is all...

[Toms306]

Height is perfect imo! Its pretty similar to how mine sits on the GTi beam tbh.

Flipping ek...if you really wana be pedantic...

It ranges from 20.91mm in places to @ max of 21.43 due to paint/surface corrosion.

So I assumed they were 21mms!!

[Anton]

Thanks, just did't look like 21's is all

[zx_volcane]

So wait a min, what size have you put in again?

[Anton]

I think it might be 21mm's but not entirely sure

[Piggy]

So wait a min, what size have you put in again?

TWENTY ONES!!!!!! Aaaaaaah!

[zx_volcane]

So wait a min, what size have you put in again?

TWENTY ONES!!!!!! Aaaaaaah!

Have you measured them though? Sometimes 20s can look like 21s

[Midnightclub]

Trollolololololol

[Piggy]

I give up

[devils_fuel]

Go with 20.5 James

[Piggy]

Managed to finally get through the 10mm plates with me hole cutters!!!

[attachment=17085]

Just need finishing and tidying....and welding to the car exhaust system!!

Just waiting on some 5v regs and a couple FETs and I finish the arduino mock up.

Not sure guna manage to get finished for pugfest though....arduino coding is frying my brain!

[zx_volcane]

Just bolt it on and run with a boost can till you figure out the electronic control

[Piggy]

May do...bit worried about consequences mind.

Ordered some multi core wiring.

So I thought I can make the loom for the sensors and power, fit all that ready...while hanging myself over code!
