Kingy your wheels are more bronze (IMO) I want a proper light gold like cullys.

So you lied when I asked you if you had bought a '6...
Looks awesome though!
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Poodle - 25-07-2012
Hahah Dum can't keep a secret for toffee, was pretty obvious the moment he put up that decat thread and got the new sig in the same day.

Cheers Mate, I didnt lie, I just said it wasnt telling anyone.
Possibly an update tomorrow depending on what the post man has brought me.
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 29-07-2012
So Ive shed a few kilos off the front end but added a 6 splitter.
The big changes are swapping from pug twin fans to a single large slimline (its wedged between the cross member and the slam panel). Reducing the amount of wiring for the fans and swapping to a smaller washer bottle that is eventually going to be mounted on the back of the ECU box.
In total its about another 10kg off and theres still a little more to come off.

Can see one big glaring object that could be sacrificed for weight in 5 out of those 6 photographs...

Looking good buddy can't wait to see it!

That'd be the bonnet lining I spose

You need a carbon fibre bonnet to lose some more weight off the front end.
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Matt - 29-07-2012
Drop the engine out! Will be light as f*ck then
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - 4WayDiablo - 29-07-2012
Surprised you didn't rid the front bumper of the white support on the inside.
Chris crowther I think his name is managed to get his 6 Down to ~900kgs
He also makes polycarb windows too to save weight and they're not that expensive. He even makes them with the runner holes in them so you can open them too :-)
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - C.A.R. - 29-07-2012
Wouldn't want polycarb windows on a road car to be honest, other sacrifices to be made first!
GRP panels if they're cheap enough would be a good bet. It's finding the line between losing the weight and ruining the appearance though...
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - 4WayDiablo - 29-07-2012
What's up with polycarb windows lol there really isn't much of a difference. He also single skinned his bonnet too rather than going CF route
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Ed Doe - 29-07-2012
What apart from the fact you have to rivet them in place an they make the car look like a proper track slag..?
RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Dum-Dum - 29-07-2012
Bianca is a slags name so it's all good.

Read up smartarse. He does them with holes for the runners on the window winders
Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Jonny b - 29-07-2012
I'd be interested in a set of poly windows chris maybe we could get a bit off

RE: Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6 - Poodle - 29-07-2012

you want polycarbonate and if your interested theres a company that sells their offcuts of polycarbonate on ebay for not alot.
