Cheers Chris. I had one in my old SS ute, but I cant remember it being as grippy as this. I will get used to it though.

will be the 1st mod on my next car knowing the gearbox will handle it
i always found blipping the throttle and releasing it as the revs fall is alot easier (& easier on your clutch plate) than trying to ride it whilst revving it... for normal daily duties anyway

Mod, I would not say a lot more noises, but I can hear the gearbox more when decelerating down. It's a like the pitch noise we get in the 6 speeds in 3rd when coming down in rpm. It's a bit louder than that now in all gears between 3k to 2k when coming down the rpm range. Not the best explanation, but I hope it makes some sense

So I have decided to keep an eye on the cars weight. I took it to a public weigh bridge today and with 1/2 a tank of fuel, in street form, it came in at 1480kg, with me out of the car.

I have finally come to terms with the fact the Dynamat in the car has to come out. I think I might be able to get around 90kg's out of the car for the next run down the 1/4. This should make quite a difference I think.

Simon - from a purely audio perspective - "NO" don't remove the dynamat.

But then again - my priorities are a bit screwy

I wouldn't have thought there would be that much dynamat in the car?

When I looked at doing the evo (I mean every panel including roof) it was only going to be 30kg.

I'm guessing he means with the spare tyre, jack etc

Sorry guys, yeah I mean I can get rid of a total of 90kg. This 90kg consists of some of the items below.

Front passenger seat = 19 kg
Rear seats = 10 kg
Spare wheel & jack = 11 kg
Boot spoiler = 9 kg (took this off & weighed it yesterday)
Only run down the strip with 1/4 tank of fuel = save around 12 kg from 1/2 tank
Dynamat = 18kg

There are a couple more things that add up to a total of 10 or so kg's. I am also looking at a CF boot as I have wanted to de-spoiler for some time now. The boot should save another 5 kg's, if I do end up swapping it.

I just need to be more organised before I go to the drags next time & have a mate down there, so I can sore a few things & keep 20lts fuel on hand.
