im still greatly un-decided on doing that. i know it gets rid of a lot of weight etc. but i kinda like having full opening windows etc. beng someone who smokes it makes it easier. depends how full on i want to go with things like that. im almost happy with the car. want to add weight with a cage with anything for safety. can always add more power to compensate anyway.

i dont know. really dont.

You will miss the opening and a slide panel is a lot more work than just replacing the window.

for what i use it for whick is mostly day to day stuff, normal windows are probably better. got a few months over winter to play about so will see.

mate is making me a fibreglass headlamp for driver side to be used as a duct aswell. help get air in there. hopefully have it done for middle of next month or whenever next 1/4 mile day is.

so yeah, heat soak issues on sunday causing boost problems. so to see the differences this is what i was on with tonight.







hopefully people can see the measurements ok. this was done quick and cheap. im sure others could make far more rectangular plates if they were bothered.



add a bit of primer and paint to stop rusting.









should help.

please remember, this is to serve a purpose. nothing else as i actually really dont like the looks of it. but id rather have it doing its purpose etc.

thanks.
