[jayrs]

That is one dinky little battery! So that's a 13kg saving by removing the old batter and tray and fitting the smaller battery?? How much did the old battery and tray weigh?! And how long did it take you to sweep up all the bits of rust to weigh them in with the rest of the tray?

[Turboboy67]

No I won't forget Jay

Old battery was 15kg + at least 1kg for the old tray, new dry cell battery is just over 2kg

so at least 16kg removed from the front end and just 3kg max (with new tray) added in the middle

[garyhurn77]

where did you get the battery from?

[heeman10]

That's a major bit of weight gone!! I'm half-glad you're not out in the same session as me at Combe now Would've been interesting to see the two cars up against each other though

Damn, I just ate a pizza Game over!

[Turboboy67]

where did you get the battery from?

My mate got it for me, hes a sales director for a battery co.

I will find out a price for you as Luke has expressed an interest as well

James, would of been interesting, perhaps another day

[hb69]

Had the chance to have any practice launches yet Shaun?

[happypaul]

Do you still have the arch liners in with the 16's? any issues with them after trimming the arches to fit the wheels?

And what size is the number plate on front?

[muz]

I've been thinking about a re located battery too shaun. See how much they work out at.

[Turboboy67]

Henry, not yet fella

Paul, still got arch liners in no issues after showing the arches an angle grinder

Number plate is a very large 300mm x 75mm

Muz, and all others who expressed an interest in the battery,

Your looking at about £60+ vat for them.

ooo may have to fit some arch liners back into mine then, I had them trimmed and it made them worse, but seeing as yours are fine there should be no reason why mine wont be

where did you get the plate from? need one for the project car with the bumper cutout, lets hope the cops dont get arsey about one being that small

[McGoo 69]

where did you get the battery from? would it be powerful enough to use the car everyday do you recon?

[knuckles]

and what is tht device poking out of them
some kind of weapon to clear the track

That would be a Jcb clamp.

Holds stuff together by pulling the trigger.

[mk3modda]

Looks good Shaun

im looking forward to seeing this sat.

did you thing cutting the battery tray out was a bit of an arse of a job. because when i did mine i was getting frustrated because it would only come off leaving a horrid surface under it. good ol angle grinder came straight out.

how light is that battery ???

Thanks for that Clark, though I fear Luke may of been taking the p..., well you know

Anyhow its now been removed due to being to heavy and non aero-dynamic

Made a major purchase today for the car which I'm collecting on Monday

I beat my tray out with a cold chiesel , needs a bit of tidying but that can wait till after the weekend

Yeah I'm well chuffed with the battery fella

Friday afternoon, I'm off the weighbridge to find out my "track weight" as all the normal road bits will be off and the 13s will be back on. Wonder what it will be hhhmmmmm.

[ads_t]

Shaun, are you still at Pod on sunday?

If so i'll see you there and hopefully have a chat!

[Turboboy67]

[Max M4X WW]

I'll have to come and see you Shaun. If I forget I'm on the Surrey stand. Should be with a 650bhp Es Cos

[Turboboy67]

Be good to see you again Max.

[Project_XR2i_Trackcar]

Hey shaun, long time no speak

You've come a long way in a short period of time, i wish i had the time to devote to mine as well.

I would also be very interested in one of those lightweight batteries at £60+vat. I'm in no rush to have it fitted and all that (stuck in Afghanistan for another 5 months ) but cash is available when needed so i can have it waiting for my return. Does your mate supply the battery cabling too by any chance?

[garyhurn77]

no pictures of your latest purchase???????

[Turboboy67]

no pictures of your latest purchase???????

No not till I get it or them home

Project, hows things fella, hope your keeping your head down out there

You can see I've been busy , got all the cables and connectors from here;

http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/V ... mepage.php

As soon as you want a battery fella let me know and I will get one sorted for you

[luca]

[Turboboy67]

[Turboboy67]
