couple of questions Shaun, not before congratulating you again on an epic build..  :notworthy:


Where did you get the Buckets?  Anywhere you'd recommend (cheapest!) as I only ever end up looking in tweaks.  Did you save a noticeable amount of weight?

What is the thought / benefit of doing the charcoal canister delete?  Does it cause issues?

APR (for the time being)... What's up your sleeve?  :wink:

Thanks mike comments much appreciated its been a long long journey!

The Buckets were unfortunately from Tweaks as i couldnt get them anywhere with them being carbon they were special order mate. As for the weight savings, it was immense to be fair the standard ones being electirc with the heating and subframes weigh around the 45kg figure per seat which to put in perspective one seat is the weight of my full cage! And the New ones i think off the top of my head weigh 6kg and you can pick them up with a couple of fingers.

The charcoal canister delete causes no issues at all and was merely for fitting my catch can in its place.

As for the APR comment i am intending on staying with them just watch this space. :wink:

Thanks a lot John appreciate the comments. :happy2:  Lee, the white rocco is gonna be a car for the cup not a 500 bhp monster, like your style though! :wink: I'm not sure exactly where I'm going with this yet, will just have to see.
