Then i can fit my GAY engagement switch there too.

Yup, That switch is to slow the car down. The Switch will be labelled 5th gen and have a picture of your ugly mug in its place

Small update and kind of progress measurement of some of the work done on the prelude.

When i first bought the car, she was a haven of lovelly leathery plushness.

Before I started any work on her i got the old girl weighed with a Full Tank of Fuel

And she came in at a not too shabby 1271Kg

She had already had the 4WS removed at that point, but came with alot of optinal extras.

As im a person who likes the minimalistic approach, i started to remove some weight out of the car.

As its been a while, I wanted to get a mid point weigh-in to give me an idea of what weight ive lost.

So I brimmed the car with 60L of fuel and went for the weigh-in:

1166kG RESULT!!!! 105Kg loss so far and ive got at least another 30KG to remove from the car.

I will have to have a play with the suspension settings so I can balance the car out a bit, but i'll do this once the ive fitted the Poly-bushes.

Happy days and chuffed to beans

Good work. Im not one for a stripped interior unless i use it only for fast driving. Thats a great weight though and with all that power its one quick car.

Nice figures bud. I spotted a weigh station right near my work a little while ago... Can't wait to get mine weighed. How much do they normally charge for such a service? I can't imagine it's too much.

Thats a nice weight loss. I would like to get my one down to 1100kg. It might be a bit extreme for you but the blower under the dash is meant to be 18kg, its on my list

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's no where near that heavy. Maybe 12kg?
