see, little hooligan is awfull on road, cold-or hot
noisy, too much vibration, and noisy.
but on track he's great.
getting the balence for fast road/track car is tricky. lil-h is pure track now i think.
astra's getting close to that.
should be goin ring this year in the bmw

SOOOOO I got some goodies in the post in the last few days with some more to come, I decided seeing as it was valentines days I'd treat one of my loves to some attention.
First off I decided to fit the steering wheel, once you have the boss n ting everything seems rather straight forward, until i found THIS!!
after scratching my head and drinking tea wondering is this important? I removed it anyway and BOOM fitted the wheel, heres the pics
another pic
this is what it looks like from jr and I's point of view
oh another!
Next up was a job I wasnt really looking forward to after much internet research but turned out to be easy peeeeasy! Removing the sound deading, I started from the back and finished the area where rear seats go, still need to do round the spare wheel well, and both foot wells/under the seats
Tools
Scratching paint is a must
and a big bag of crap to weigh in at the end! Always good to know what i've removed and added weight wise for this experiment.
Thats it for today! alot more to remove but I've got a day off tomorrow so I may dedicate a few hours to the car instead of promising myself I'll go to the gym to work on my other weight reduction project
Plenty of things coming up before I take it out on track again, I've got some special bucket seats coming next week hopefully and I've also put down an order for a custom cages CL4 club cage. Oh and them all important front plastic windows to fuck off james. thanks for reading

Basically the same as OMP wheels but without the name fancy stamp. They're a good wheel.
