Martins car is stripped to the bone..... I estimate Martin weighs in at 14 stone...

should martin strip weight of himself in an extreme weightloss attempt.. and for the summer dragstrip sessions...

I am lol but a stone is only 6kg so it won't make that much difference. I've put nearly a stone on since I started uni i'm gonna start running again try and get it back off.

i expect pics martin!

you putting an electric heater in it?

you making any kind of dash up for the clocks etc?

im very tempted to take my dash out when i put a cage in mine, but im not sure how hard it would be to re-wire the loom, and put in custom clocks and dials etc.

i think at that point my stereo would have to come out! lol ive still got it in for town driving with the dash speakers, but on the motorway its pretty much pointless!

I'm not gonna have any heater mate it's gonna be retired as a daily driver when summer is over...

Just gonna have the clocks fixed above the steering wheel somehow nowt fancy,,could do with some way of tidying the wiring up though.

Still got the charcoal canister on mine ... :oops:

tommo, how does that thing wire up?? qwheel sensors?

It's a simple set-up really mate, there's a hall sensor fitted to a bracket above the drive shaft and a magnet glued to the drive shaft which sends an electric pulse to the speedo every revolution.

All kinds of sh*t can be done with it...0-60...max speed record....mid range acceleration...I don't use any of it tho cos I'm boring!

They aint cheap tho...170 notes from Demon Tweeks!

For some more weight-savings: Tonsils. Spleen. Gall bladder. Appendix. 2 small toes and some say a large portion of the brain. Should be at least a kilo in there. :)
