Ive removed sound deadening, A/C, heaps of shit behind the dash so i should still be below the factory weight.

Wanna get it on a weigh bridge and see how much it is. Later on will be fibre/cf doors, bonnet, boot etc but not for awhile.

Thanks for that mate.

Im just in the process of going down that same path now. So I just wanna know from somone whohas done it, pros and cons.

Did you remove all the air con humidifier (spell?) and all that rubbish from behind the dash too?

Is it worth removeing all of the AC? Im assuming with the condenser and compressor there are a few extra Kg's there. Any idea on how much?

Is it a pain in the arse to drive without sound deadening in the front half of the cabin?

Thanks for the help mate,

much appreciated,

Cris

Unfortunately i had to leave the big box in behind the dash as it works with the heater and to pass inspections here u gotta have a heater :down: With the A/c, i removed all lines and condenser from the engine bay as well as the compressor. (heaps of weight in those)

With the sound deadening removed u can hear more of the exhaust and stones up in the guards. i dont really mind, just turn the music up more :)

Cheers

I bought them months ago and spent the whole time trying to decide whether to paint them the same colour as the car or not. Was bored the other day and decided to fit them

I think I made the right decision :rofl:

Here's mine freshly out of the workshop, the rims still havent been fitted as being a gts-4 I'm waiting on a set of gtr knuckles to hook up the 5 stud conversion...so yes the wheels dont fit the width of the car atm :D

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
