SimonB Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yeah. The Recaros are pretty light I thought, I can't see them weighing 42Kg. Were they standard ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 ive thought about doing similar with my BPU car for a while to give me the edge, ie ditch the aircon, electric seats etc etc, I reckon would make for a quick road setup with the emanage ultimate as well which I have yet to install Good luck Wez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Wez, if you chuck the seat, throw it my way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Little update For anyone thinking about doing this, its worse than stripping the stock twins off, my hands look like mashed beef. I no longer have a dual piller pod for my gauges so for a temp fix I have mounted them in the now free air ducts, doesnt look too bad. I had to extend some wiring for the boost gauge but apart from that it wasnt too tricky, took a little more time than I wanted though. #1 - almost there #2 - got the blighter #3 - getting back to normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Nice one wez How much weight do you think you've saved by junking all that? Still going to chop the dash up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Nice one wez How much weight do you think you've saved by junking all that? Still going to chop the dash up? I have no idea, a fair bit I think but the cage will add it all back so just trying to get as much out as I can. I am still looking to chop the dash in half and remove all the unused wiring but I need the car for Fri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 PM replied All good fun taking that lot out, Graham and I reckon we can do it in 3 hours (that is out and back in again) I reckon the matrix box system has to be the better part of 15-20kgs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 All good fun taking that lot out, Graham and I reckon we can do it in 3 hours (that is out and back in again) Took me all weekend by myself, although its the first time I have done it. The dash goes back very easily, I thought I was going to have a mare with it. Taking out the heater was easily the worse job I have done on the car so far.
