You're silly. That must be loud. I'll have to come catch up one day. It's been too long.

After putting it for for nearly 2 years. I finally stripped the sound deadening. Went the cheap route and used a heat gun and a spatula. As easy as using dry ice. But there is alot of left over residue. (Glue stuff i think) whether or not you get this with dry on a vw i do not know. I didn't have any left over on the sti.
Sound deadening added up to 10-12kg i would guess haven't weighed it yet. Along with the pad on the fire wall and the sandbags under the carpets there would be 25 odd kg of material. Quality car.
Also put in the b&m shifter i have had for ever.Feels pretty tight. Takes a bit of muscle to move it around gears. But you do get a good engagement feel. Not as notchy as what people say it makes it. But you know you've got a gear when you are hoonduh shifting.
Also found the limit with weight removal.
Saved a whopping 2kg in metal.
All up rear doors I've removed 20kg

Decided that i am going to do whatever it takes to make this car go 12.99 so I can finally move on with my life lol.
Will run two fronts seats. Contradictory to what i have done to this car I can't claim it to be a street car or even a car if it can only have one person inside.
So took out the window washer, lines and wiring. Same as with the central locking. Got 1.5kg's out. (All of which is for up for grabs if you are needing those parts)
Made solid front crossmember mounts out of 2" steam pipe welded to the rail. Will get pictures later.
