    That's the idea, we plan to strip the interior (dash needed?) and sell what we don't need to make a bit of cash back. Looking at a great deal if everything works out.

    If its for track use only, pull all the sound deadening out, underbody protection, glass except the windscreen, dash doesnt make that much difference and tidies up the inside IMO.

    Theres also bits and pieces inside that can be cut out - seatbelt brackets etc. Inside the doors/bonnet/bootlid etc.

    Btw, it never goes to plan and ALWAYS ends up costing more than planned. I'll have my machine together during the summer and I've not even started putting it back together and I'm over budget already.

    Sound!
    Glass I wasn't sure about seeing as we're in cold and rainy oul Ireland and we'll be driving without race suits. There's a lot of weight there though.

    It will be purely track alright, trailered with hopefully a van full of tires.
    Removing weight from the rear is my big one, the less pressure there the better on an underpowered slider.

    May just put a black sack over my legs if I'm honest, that's more the direction this car will take.

    Looks like the deal is done!

    Netting? :p
    I'll look into some plastics but this is to be cheap as possible.
    Needs a part or two, will be checked tonight after purchase and one if the lads will be on to the scrappies.

    Not even the sides and leave the rear? :o
    I'll let you know when it happening, I'm sure we could use an extra hand.
    Won't hurt if you've got a bit of focus, when we try and do anything we just get distracted. Haha

    You'll have to have something to replace the glass such as lexan etc. You wont be let out on track with nothing at all.

    If you're replacing it, make sure whatever you use is shatter proof.

    Ah that's that then. One for down the line, I'll suffer the glass for the time being. :)

    318IS, it's on crappy tyres, the boot is striped and the diff is still open. Right now it goes, once it's totally stripped and the diff is welded it should be a hoot!

    We're going over ways of adding power, much to discuss.
    I'd say it'll be a few weeks 'till we're ready, the lads are still doing exams. Cheers though. :)

    No probs we'll go with you whenever. For power go to the scrappy for a 325 or 28i job.

    Or sr it :)

    I'll be happy to help out as before!

    Once we all decent on the yard I'll let you know.
    Options at the moment seem to be V8 or turbo but there's a GS300 in Kilcock and sure, you know me. :pac:

    Yours if you want them, they'll need tyres and valves.

    Looks like we're picking something else up tomorrow though so we may still be game, I'll report back when I know for sure. :)

    If ye are trying to trade up, why not go look at the manual 300zx TT in red, has been on DD for a while now, (not the one in a garage, the one that is on UK plates and sold without a loigbook)

    That one seems to be gone but there's another one gone up two days ago... Bit too rich though.

    Ah you don't need one...many many moons ago, I managed to effectively drift a Renault 5 around half a roundabout. Only caveat was that I was going "oh sh1te, didn't expect ICE there!!!!" during the entire thing :D

    You don't need a RWD to drift take a look at this Mitsubishi Mirage Asti.
