Little update.

Managed to get one of the rear arms on the car tonight but couldnt get any of the other nuts off so looks like i'll be grinding the buggers off.

Also stuwells took the aircon off for me didnt know there was so much of it little less weight in the car now.

Been told this free's up some bhp not to sure how true that is or how much.

Yeah the aircon will free up some break matey, but only if ye used it when it was in (i think anyway, someone correct me if am wrong hehe). Also, if ye did use, it will mean ya use less petrol.

Lookin at it though, the weight saving will give you a bit more go as well lol.

What power are ye lookin at when all is done and ready to go with the T28 on? Any idea's yet, or just gonna RR it and find out that way lol.

smile

Aircon only uses engine power when turned on.

Its on a clutch mech, and spins freely when not in use smile

that nut in the first pic doesnt seem to be on a the bolt a complete nut (bit dangerous lol). If your changing the bolts make sure your using high tensile as normal wont be suitable for them kind of loads. Agree with stuy only when aircon is running, I know this as when driving about 70 on the motorway and switch it on a feel a slight surge.

could be 12.8's i forget now.

8.8's are strong but for the extra 10p i think per bolt it may be worth it.
