Yeah I always change my mind at least with yours you've been rolling round in it since you got it. I've driven mine ONCE lol
Its like do I just get it done to a cheap and fun standard or go all out and have a wicked result at the end!
Im not sure I've driven anything 4wd for quite some time would you say its a good thing or do people ever make their evo's solely rwd?

That's why i'm going down the weight loss route, any further investments in the car are very expensive.
Weight reduction is free to an extent then that gets rather expensive if you start replacing with lightweight parts. I'd rather not cut any corners so I'm saving up on the side for the future if I plan to go down any avenues.
I don't believe the time attack cars run rwd, think they stick to the awd system to lay the power down. I think it's only of benefit if you wish to drift but if i'm honest it's not something i've looked into.
Now I'm used to this car it's pretty fun, you can get the backend out nicely as the majority of the power is sent to the rear wheels anyway, but then the front wheels pull you out of any sideways action before it gets far too leary.
I suppose the main downfall with the awd system is the horses lost from the fly to the wheels in comparison to just fwd/rwd systems.... but you can lay everyone of those horses down very effectively.

Unless some parent who missed out on the space sees you getting out without kids... Then you may get no dents, but some flat tyres. I know my Dad slashed someone's tyres for parking in a disabled bay before when they clearly weren't! (his wife is disabled, apparently)

If you don't have a child seat in the car I wouldn't be happy.
That's how I judge it anyway.
On that note I need a new car, 3 kids in a Kalos is hard work.

Disabled spaces gripe me much more as giraffe said.
But no had to pick up my cousin and her baby on the way to work this morning... fuck me having kids.
The baby seat is not always an obvious thing though, her kid is still very young and has a proper baby seat that it's carried about in so no obvious child presence in the car now.
Having said that when I return to my car after work I won't have a child, and will look like an inconsiderate git which is something i have just thought about ha!

Very minor but recieved these today which I'll bang on, the normal bulbs in them are very dull and poor for night time driving. Hoping these will just give a better beam as a direct replacement as I can't be doing with a light conversion and mass of extra wiring etc.
See what they look like and hopefully not too blue or there being binned.
The 'xenon ultimate effect' gives me zero confidence though I must say... found some PIAA replacement bulbs if there chav looking

Put those phillips ones in which has made them much brighter for now, also adjusted them as the beam wasn't ideal...
Made it much better for night time driving which is all I was after, will try them osrams next as constantly hear about them.
This is them on low beam last night, forgot to get a before snap but made all the difference?

On another note....
Getting it weighed tonight to see how much weight I need to shed.
My aim is 1265kg eventually which will give me 300+bhp per ton, just a goal I have in my mind.
Will see how much weight needs shedding to achieve that.

Well got the car weighed tonight and we are both on a diet.
weight is car with 3/4 tank of petrol, all interior in place and myself in the drivers seat.
I am weighing in at just over 100kg myself so it's about what I was expecting.
Time for thr car to go on a diet and for me to get less juicy! Will be stripping the car to shed some weight but not going to any extreme level just yet.
Will weigh the car again once more stripped but my aim to reduce weight evenly from each axel.

Looks like it will be quite easy to get a 50/50 weight there or close to?
What do you do to be 100kg?? Lol think im on 65/70 and have been for about 10 years!

Yeah that's one positive I suppose, want to keep it balanced!
Protein, weights and generous amounts of food and sleep seem to havr nudged me over the 100kg mark ha

I've put BlueVision bulbs in 4 cars I've own now, I think they are really good. Bright and a nice white colour.
Not sure whether to get some for my 200sx or HIDs for scene points
