Got a lil bit done today and yesterday. Whilst I saving some cash I have moved on to the chassis. Decided to strip the doors down and give them a diet, thanks to Mr Grinder. Couldn't be bothered paying a shit load of cash at the moment for Carbon Fibre doors, so I'll do the next best thing. Cut the shit out of them and use Lexan Windows, saved a fair bit of weight out of them already just have to cut the impact beam out and a bit more trim and tidy it up. When I finished with them they will probably be a couple a KG's heavier then the R32's Carbon doors.

Also I am gonna contact the guys that make the carbon fibre roof skins and carbon fibre rear hatch and get that ball rolling on that. Get rid of the sunroof its too heavy, and with the roof skin missing will make putting the cage in a hell of a lot easier. May even get a load of Dry Ice once the inside is clean and smash out the sound deadening and get it prepped for raging caging.

I need some motivation

Sean, I went into Toyota today, was passed into some dude named Ben. After having a chat to him, I realised that he knew nothing about the car and had very little interest in selling me one.

Kept going in about catching him in the middle of this 3 day sale, and it was so busy. I looked around, was 2 customers in the shop.

Said I was also interested in a FJ, said they had run out of pamphlets, and didn't even take me to see one.

I made it clear I had the funds, wasn't kicking tyres.

Next time I should just ask for you, lol.

This guy was useless

[Robi33]

I agree with Jordan, Benni...

And it'll be much lighter with less glass.

[Seano350GT]

Wow! For real? Usually Ben is great to deal with, that's really dissapointing man. Jono what's your full name? I'm going to call the new car manager now and sort this out.. that shit's not on

[Nur33]

Nah that's gross lol I'm getting lexan window on carbon hatch will be pretty light + that big hollow with mess with the aero

[Robi33]

It actually shouldnt mess with the aero... I mean, 90% of Supercars have that rear design... And its already been proven it helps with air displacement and doesnt hinder it.

[daywalker05]

wont have air in that gap.. but something different ive come across

[Nur33]

Most supercars don't have massive GT Wings and all them supercars with that design were made in the 80's and 90's back when aerodynamics was make believe like the Yeti, I need air to hit the wing not go under it.

[Nur33]

All of todays modern Hypercar's have the back window shape similar to the 180SX with there electric/hydraulic pop-up wings.

Ferrari 458

McLaren MP4-12C

Lamborghini Aventador

[Seano350GT]

Aventador = panty dropper

[89CAL]

That hatch for the 180 would create to much turbulence for a rear wing. Would create a low pressure point behind the window.

Dont see it being an Aero benefit.

ehhhh cant wait to get home from work. Monday morning can not come quick enough

[Seano350GT]

I'm so jealous of the people that get until the 3rd or the 7th of next month off.. i wish

[Nur33]

I don't care anyways as long as the car stays on the road..... I just want downforce.

[Robi33]

Veyron.

Gallardo.

Murcialargo.

Adventador.

They all have a flat rear window with curved bodywork.

[Robi33]

You want the grip of an F1 car with the power of a Drag car.
