love the white wheels and the seats how did you put them in was it difficult do you sit much higher..... Not a fan of the big monsta tacho i think they are the ghey sex. But that is your car and looks sweet so keep it up

lol i thought the same about the tacho :p but its grown on me now...

the seat lines up with the standard seat subframe front bolts...but the rear bolts are out (welded abit of metal onto mine) otherwise its just bolted with 2 front bolts insted of 4! and is a abit dangeroues... also i think it depends on what seat you use. oh i sit near the same height as the std seat. the cobra is really comfy and you dont slide about like the std seat lol

just the motor (well the sizzor thing lol)and obv the door cards there just a straight swap...

decided to keep my electric windows now, when there wouldnt be a noticeable diffrance. my plan is to blank off the pass door card and have both door cards in thin metal or carbon sheet, keep my drivers arm rest inc switchs, and get a lower spec arm rest with out window switchs.

also, will be getting some perspex windows....got told yesterday by a friend he knows someone who will replecate my windows onto plastic... near £10 a window. if not less! as he charged my friend £10 for a big sheet to fix his next door neighbours green house!

"sound deadning is heavy, its i nightmare to get out, i dont know if i can be arsed.whats the best way to take it out? <BR><BR>also any pics of your club car?
Click to expand...

yeh it is a pain in the arse to take out.. on the flat surface of the floor, where there is no ribs in the floor the easiest way is a hammer and wide chisel, try not to dig into the floor though. on the lumpy parts of the floor it is easier to use a heat gun to soften up the tar then scrape it off with the chisel.
i have not got aany pics of the club car, but i have of our rally car will try and post some up for you.

put my heatrs back in now lol.... has window winders insted of electric motors now aswell! you might think iam mad! but i preffer them :S plus i thought they would weight less than electric ones but theres not even a notice weight diffrance when you hold them in your hand! so was abit annoyed the fact i spent £15 on them to be no diffrent!

also re-locted my battery to the boot this afternoon, gonna put my kill switch in when i get time aswell (put it up front, below the dash i think?) :)

as for losing weight, been to the scrapyard and got fixed rear 1/4 rubber seals (i have pop outs) so gonna get some perspex rear 1/4 and front side windows made up!.....

reason i wanted them fixed is because i dont think pop outs would be strong engough to be made out of perspex they might bow with the wind etc?

tbh i think ive done everything i can to lose weight without making it a track car! trying to keep it good for everyday useage! .....

altough its off the road at the mo, until a couple of months :)

will get pics up of stuff when i get time.

i reckon you could sell the power window setup pretty easy to get some of that coin back

have you done a kill switch before? pretty easy stuff

yerah should sell the electric motors easy, but might keep them just in case lol.

the windows will be the same thickness as std, getting my std ones copied.

carbon bonnet i would love, but there £500 to buy from japan, and an extra £500 shipped to the uk....kristian on the micrasportsclub can get some crabon bonnets made up, when i have the money!

ive also thought about fixed subframes and carbon seats, hopefully when the money comes rolling in a can buy a carbon seat, on a fixed ae86 subframe, (for those who dont know 86 subframes are the same as micra ones bar one bolt hole that you have to drill)

"turbo march-rolling shell WROTE:<BR><BR>DIV&gt;<BR><BR>and safer! it looks pretty 2nd hand.. wouldn't wana be wiping acid of my face if it exploded for whateva reason :("</DIV><BR><BR>yeh true. i thought if it was a non sealed battery it has to be in a battery box?
Click to expand...

yeh, then it has to have a vent to the outside somehow, r33 skylines run a battery in the boot with a small hose coming of them that exit above the fuel tank to the atmosphere underneath the car, so i spose you could do a similar setup to that, or just get a sealed battery :D!

i have a battery box beeing made up by a friend, it sits over the battery and tray, with some L brackets/legs that bolt to the floor.... i wouldnt mind a sealed half size battery but there expensive! when i get the cash iam considering buying one, but this will do for now!

oh and the car has good suspension :p 30mm springs, and kyb dampers....altough coilovers are wanted lol

re-located air filter....

Make sure the battery is very very well bolted down. If you have the unfortunate experience of a crash, that battery will do a lot of damage if it breaks loose.

lol it aint been boltted down properly yet :s the battery tray is held in with one bolt..., it rocks about as its only half one the flat floor and the rest is on a slight dip that goes into the spare wheel well! so the battery tray tilts and moves! need to do some drilling....plus my box will help keep the lot in place in the event of a crash.

hay... just to improve it again.. put an oil catch can on the the oil vapour line from the head to the cleaner(oil vapour kills octane levels)...... and a bit of a heat shield to divert the radiator exit air away from the intake. Its looking good!

hmmm, oil catch can never really thought about that pal! hmmm think i will pop in to my local motor factors and get one and just stick it between in the pipe line!

plus good spotting! i would never of thought to wrap the rad pipe up! lol only just noticed that its sat in-front of my filter! cheers for the help ;)

yep i love the foil lol....bettween you and me it hides a BIG paint fook up :s lol shhhhhhh

Didnt try to offend you in any way mate..
Sorry if you got that idea.. :S
I meant that tha inside of the car is a realy unsafe environment for road use when there is almost no interior left in it..
And as others have pointed out the battery etc.

Cheers
Are
