How much weight do you think you could save if you took the power steering out and replaced it with an early N/A rack?
 
Worth the trouble?
 
Im getting obsesed with loosing as much weight as possible while keeping the car looking stock inside.:mmmm
 
Power steering i can live without.

depend what do you use it for e.g driving around the town or cross country or attack the corners;)
 at the end of the day, it\'s better to leave it in.

Its a daily driver. But i love a bit of chuckability in the twisty stuff. With a lot of feedback to the driver.:chat Dont we all!:Thumbs-up
 
I really dont care about heavy steering as i\'ve lost count of the amount of heavy and light cars ive owned that didnt have power steering and it never bothered me.
 
*The trick is to move the car and turn the wheel at the same time when your parking! Lol!*

Well, i fitted my new plate to the back of the car.. also the first pictures of my painted badges.. people who have seen pics of my car before will notice i have now replaced the RX7 sticker with the actual proper RX7 badge..

P.S. The paint never seems to look the same colour in pics.. but in person they are a perfect match.. weird!

[Jimi_Hendrix]

Lookin\' good man! Loving the rising sun plates!:mmmm
 
Been thinking of painting my badges white. Would match the white wheels, need to experement in photoshop! Lol!
 
Oh BTW! Dont know if adereed has let you know - probibly has - but i could collect your spoiler for you on Tuesday when i go down to get my splitter from him. And drop it off with you on the way back up or at some other date?

[Retro_Boy_G]

He actually emailed me yeah, i asked him to ask you if you could email me (retroboyg(at)gmail.com) so we could arrange something. If you could drop it off it would be much appreciated.. failing that we could meet up at the Fort if that is our kinda central meeting point.. haha. If you could collect it though man that would be great.

Drop me an email!

Glad you like the new plates . Get some more pics up of yours!

[dthebuk]

love the white badges, awesome job!!!

[Retro_Boy_G]

Thanks man.. i originally wanted to debadge it but couldnt be arsed getting the holes filled.. haha.. so i felt this was the next best thing. Really annoys me though how yellow they look in the pictures.. now all i need is fatter tail pipes to fill the curves on the body.

[Jimi_Hendrix]

Yeah no worries buddy i\'ll pick up the spoiler for you. And as for fatter tail pipes? liking the sound of that!:Thumbs-up I need to get a new exhaust sorted out pretty soon as my muffler is starting to blow

[Retro_Boy_G]

You are a legend dude! I owe you..

A previous owner put a Rotecnics exhaust system in my car so it is pretty loud.. i just hate the poofy tail pipes they went for and how far they stick out.. Hopefully i can just get something welded on that fills the space on the body and sits flush with the back of the car.

As much as i enjoy the sound from the Rotecnics i can\'t help but think it sounds a bit tinny sometimes when putting the foot down.

[Jimi_Hendrix]

I\'ve been looking at the Racing Beat REV-TII full system for my one. Seen and heard a few examples through you tube and such. Seems like the thing i\'m looking for. Not too loud, twin exit as per OEM spec and the tail pipes arent like two bazookas! Lol!
 
And a claimed 60BHP hike! Though i should think that would require a damn good ECU mapping session......
 
..Which will in turn cost a bomb ontop of an exhaust that prob costs a fair ol\' chunk as well!
 
*sigh* bring on my christmas overtime! Lol! :Thumbsup!

[dthebuk]

well if your gunna get your car mapped... you might aswell get more goodies at the same time too, like a decent cold air feed  

[TiddlesRX7]

You\'ll have to have a look at mine tomorrow. I think its similar to the racing beat style iirc. Mine is pretty load though even with the bungs in. Barrrrrrp Barrrrrp!
