Iv got a storm force for the civic, not cheap but fits well. Just don’t let cats on it, the little ***** have clawed holes in it and iv had to temporarily repair it with tape....not happy!

To give an idea of what can be lost/changed, this is what Iv done: Aircon Power steering ABS Half sized rad Engine mounts Stainless exhaust and manifolds Induction setup Flyby wire throttle conversion Light weight alloys Coilovers Carbon bonnet Carbon spoiler Seats and belts - swapped for buckets and harnesses Interior plastics Speakers and stereo Spare wheel and tool kit Sound proofing floors and behind dash Sunvisors Headliner Rear wiper 3rd brake light Electric sunroof - swapped to ali plate Electric mirrors - swapped to manual Excess wiring Removable steering wheel Admittedly mine is a weekend/track car, there is still more to lose like the glass windows, doors, tailgate etc I might go the ITB route yet so can lose the inlet mani, induction setup aswell. Just depends how far you want to go, the more you lose the less comfortable it gets!

It’s not just mpg that improves with weight reduction, acceleration, braking, cornering, tyre wear all improve lugging less weight around. But don’t forget you will alter the balance of the car if you remove all the weight from just the rear. Probably the best thing to make lighter without turning it into a track car is lighter wheels as already mentioned.

My first 205, had this for 5 1/2 years and also had a green 205 for a while along with this silver one

Iv got a few plans: Sunroof delete Roll cage Lexan windows Door panels carbon mirrors and boot harnesses Aiming for under 1000kg wet and then maybe try for 300bhp N/A How much will actually happen is another story!

K20 FTW!

Don’t post that much these days, on the Celica side of things anyway, but 6 years ago I had bought my little green beasty so thought I’d share it as not many of these are/were about. Wonder if it’s still alive?

Same here dubs, although I'm sure 1.39 rings a bell last time I filled up, 150 miles later it needs filling up again lol

No I don't cut the bag just as it is. The best thing to use are the little silica bags you get in shoe boxes etc

I leave a bag of rice on the dash whilst the car is parked up, it doesn't completely stop condensation but it certainly helps.

Agree on the SGS jacks etc very good bits of kits. With regard to the boot struts then the "mod god" has come up with an ingenious solution

Just seeing if anyone knows the ST205: L947 NSS? It's come up for sale and has seriously caught my eye, it's got quite a healthy spec so it can't of been built unnoticed! There's no price on it, Iv got an idea of what it should be up for as I maybe tempted to swap my Evo for it.

One of my old Evo's was measured at 110db at a track, still went through MOT test ok. Its all down to the tester at the end of the day though, what one deems acceptable another may not

Dinitrol. Looks like black paint and dries hard, there's some pics of mine after it was done on the previous page
