Show us your track car???

[bri0905]

Hello all,

I hope this is in the right section?

I'm just about to start stripping my rev 3 for proper track use. Will be fitting a cage and seats, removing the dash and as much other non essential weight i can.

Was wondering if everyone who has a dedicated track mr2 could post a few pictures of what extremes they have gone to?

Be nice to see a few interior shots and some exterior possibly with a short explanation of what you've done and the benefits?

Thanks

Bri

Again have a look in my garage for a few pics of my track car (though it is a mk1 similar principles apply!)

a few choice mods for me....

Interior strip and weight loss : free
Air induction modification : have a look in the garage for additional vent and piping
Lightweight wheels and R888s : a small collection developing in my garage!
Whiteline ARBS : seriously helped combat body roll despite uprated springs / dampers : this should be high in the agenda!
Yellow stuff pads : have been great for my driving style.
RBF600 brake fluid : stopes boiling fluid resulting in air bubbles.

Here is a pic before the roll bars were fitted..

I have 2 Sparco Rev fibreglass seats in my garage and a cage on order so they can be updated later!

[bri0905]

Good stuff. I'm not taking out the stuck on sound deadening as i can't face the finger pain of scraping it all off.

Will add pictures of mine very soon as the cage should finally be going in next week.

I did it on a sunny day in the garden so wasnt that unenjoyable. Also a good weight saving - 2 carrier bags full!

If you try it in the freezing weather it will come off in bigger pieces and be much less effort!

[bri0905]

still not convinced, maybe when i've lost every bit of weight from other areas i'll tackle it but i'm in no rush.

[Neil_turbo]

HAHA

it does look much neater inside once it has been removed aswell!

[jonb-]

Yep




and with a bit of spray paint

[ashley]

Yup...absolutely worth it- that stuff is much heavier than it looks, and there's a shed load of it!

[Bender Unit]

Good stuff. I'm not taking out the stuck on sound deadening as i can't face the finger pain of scraping it all off.

Rubber mallet and chisel or a long blade screw driver. I also found that scoring it into squares helps it break up better. If you can get hold of some CO2 blast it, freeze it and then it will come up a treat.

If I remember rightly from doing mine, WD40 sprayed onto it will really help remove the last little smeared bits.

Heat gun and scraper also work well in getting it off

this is mine, first track outing of 2010 next week

Our MK1 that was prepped and used in TSS a couple of years ago:



But it's being replaced with this little moster we picked up a few weeks ago:
