just bought my first track car
Discussion
well didnt take long for that bug to bite..
ended up buying this
can you guess what it is yet?
unfortunitly it came with all this useless bunff so itl be getting taken out and sold
original door mirrors i believe.
the wheels will also be getting binned from 17" wrecked from kerbing back to the standard 15s with some good rubber.
however took the car back via the netherly road and it performend brilliantly.
i know i had one a year ago but i forgot how much it needs to be revved to get the power out of it.
only problem was i cooked the brakes in the 10 miles of spirited driving on a road i know so they will require an upgrade
there are some bad parts the car looks better in the pics than it is. the other side has a big scratch that has been touched up and has some dents and dings but drives supurb.

Did you delibverately get the Noble in the photo? 
That should be ok, a bit of fun and great as a first car to learn in and build up experience of track days. Personally though, I don't know why you didn't just find a standard one and save yourself all of the work of taking bits off and selling them?

so i started stripping out the car the other night.
to start with
first to go was this
seats out and gads what a mess underneath, crayons clips old crisps tie raps
of course where ever you go theres always lego!
even more rubbish under the seats.. i actually found 2 maggots ALIVE!
in times like this theres only 1 man who can help. if you can find him maybe you can hire
seats out that horrible brown sound deadening out and onto the interior trim
this pile would grow bigger by the end of the night
and now a bare rear end
i also took out the seatbelt
that was 58kg off standard weight and 75kg from the start weight, subs and speakers out.
still have the front to work on.
i wont be able to put the rear interior back in it was always a 1 way trip with this car. iv yet to decide how extreme to go with removing interior. the main question being whether to take out the dash.. i would like to keep the standard front speakers and cd player for a little creature comfort.

I would say keep the dash, it won;t save you much weight anyway.
Reson for keeping is most trackdays now want you to keep sharp edges covered. Removing the dash will reveal quite a few. Same as ring, you need dash in for that too really.
plus it does keep it tidier. You may just have to cut it a bit when you fit cage depnding on what one you go for.
That firt strip down is the fun bit, after that it becomes hard work....lol
well worth t though. I'm getting another track car in a couple of months. something for a grand will do me nicely.
