Yeah man cheers ratty. The car is on a diet atm. Fitting different seats a load of weight has been removed. Carbon door cards and footwells. Converted the doors to manual winders and mirrors. Put the fuel pressure up and got a new pro alloy inter cooler also.

[roland rat]

What you hoping to get it down to weight wise?

[fatlapit]

Hopefully near 1 ton but from the bulkhead back its 100 percent stripped ok ive still got a headlining. So my next plan is radical but if done well it should help no end without weakening the xar

[roland rat]

Carbon panels?

small update

so iv`e had the spoox box in now for about 500 track miles and about 800 road miles. All I can say is what an improvement in grip braking and overall acceleration. The 3j diff has been amazing cant believe how much difference specifically in the braking it has over the atb.

had a couple of issues at croft. one was a broken oil cooler and a broken manifold.
