Good idea, a front seat and a rear seat base will save you 26kg's which is worth 0.05 off your ET.

Not being nasty chris,great achievements.

Just i like to drag mine how i drive them everyday.

You do what you want,i just tend to criticise people that claim there car runs a certain number(no not directed at you or craig), when you talk to them later on when the car is all back together , you REMIND them that all they had in the car at the time was a milk crate to sit on they go OH<OH<OH.

All these bloody holden drivers here at the plex are notoriously bad for this and yet when they get back to the street they still claim the same time with the car back in full trim.

Hey man you and craig are rippin it up,go for it.if there is class rules and weights that pertain to a certain class then hook into it man,just dont tell me that we did this and we did that with a 100% std driveline,interior car.

Matt

We are only ripping things out of our car because the LS1 guys are.

Craig could put the trim back in his car and it would still run 12's all day long.

Thats what im saying,those red team dongers are doin it to satisfy themselves,we/you guys are doing it to provide some sort of parity in the game.

Yeah craigs is deep into the 12's now,interior is not gonna tip it over the hill. :sm_headba

But just understand what i mean about those holden dongers ,goin on about there ET with half the bloody car missing.

Anyway sorry for gettin off track,back to the thread

Would mean going to the dark side, what we affectionally call the "concrete heads" Many there have been trying to convert me for a while. Just biding my time. I am surprised that they have done this as they did stop purchasing them because they had to run them on 95ron.
