all interior trims, carpet and hoodlining have been removed. i now just have a dash and door trims thats it! started to chip of sound deadening, then remembered you can do it with dry ice in like 1 hour so i'm going to look into that instead. amazing how much dust and s*** is behind all the trims, i wiped it all down with hot soapy water and it come up a treat, also found $7.35, hair clips and a tampon, hooray!!
also got my dished SAAS wheel today, measured it up and it has 70mm offset, so i got heaps of room between the wheel and indicator stalk, tiny little bastard 300mm, looks old skool cool!
also my cage has arrived, i may go get it tomorrow but probably not seeing my diff is being freighted by the same company and should be arriving within the next couple of days, can't be arsed borrowing the old mans ute twice!!
Whats the deal with the sound deadening on the floor why remove it? seems like a lot of work for such a minimal gain in weight and increase excess road noise or are there other advantages?
no real advantages at all!!!! your right it weighs next to nothing, is a bitch to get off and road noise is increased. my carpets rubbish and i love a gutted hachi with painted floors!!! so i guess its just the racer boy wank factor.
i got that aswell on some pages no pics, i don't know whats doing i was just on john02's thread and his aren't working either except for ones from his mobile. meh see what happens
^^^ unreg'd at the moment, so unfortunately i'll be escorting it up!! i'll give you a call tonight and cruise around tomorrow bud
just got a 19row HKS oil cooler kit and filter relocator with sexy braided hoses and earl's style fittings for $250 off ns.com no more front grill for me! (for those of you playing at home, sr and ca oil cooler kits bolt up to 4AGE's) wont be fitting it to the 4AC however!! it can just sit in the shed and collect dust like my other 4AGE parts. really need to gets me a motor, i'l advertise the escort me thinks.
sorry about today dave!! if ya decide to sell the escort i might have a friend interested, he is just in the process of selling his current car at the moment, so give me a buzz if ya make up ur mind.
^^^ don't worry about yesterday!! i can't believe you slept through your dog barking! escort is 100% definately for sale!! i have run out of cash for the sprinter, good news being i only need a motor, loom and ecu plus some other small bits to finish it off.
my 100mm bosskit (85mm actually!!) arrived yesterday puts the stering wheell in a good spot. also picked up my cage and have that sitting in place, it's doing its best to fill the void behind the seats! i will later being investing in a rear shock tower brace and one of the between seat braces with the harness mounts so that should help more and fill the gap!
i know for a fact my diff was picked up yesterday by my courier and it will be arriving on monday, hoorah!!
