Re: Pedal boxes
The cars track/race only so no worries about car parks etc. I think if I modify the steering etc too much I could fall foul of a few regs and make myself ineligible for anything I would be competitive in. The set up I have seen have the M/C towards the driver under an ali foot plate so I don't think...

Going to resurrect this post as I'm in the process of junking the servo and want to fit a Pedal box. A few questions to throw up.....feel free to flame as required!

Re: Removal of ABS unit
I've done it but I've also used a larger M/C. Saves a fair bit of weight.
I've got some photos somewhere.
I will probably be fitting a pedal box in the near future so my larger M/C will be up for grabs.

Re: Gearbox breather..
I used a bit of rubber hose and a pipe clip (not allowed to refer to it as a Jubilee!) up to a spare clutch fluid resevoir. I've got small hands but it's a bugger with the gearbox in place. When my other box goes in I'll make a proper job but its stayed in place so far.

Re: 325 loon stripped kerb weights
Multiple ITB's are out but carbs are ok. Wasn't too fussed on the weight saving aspect (but anything is a bonus) as long as there is a power gain.
I should be picking up a set of 45's this month

No thats a 325. Got an M3 looking front bumper. Couldn't tell you what the cage weighs but I'm sure you could find out from somewhere. Just the one seat. Not the lightest in the world but light seats cost big bucks. http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=100971&postdays=0&po...

Pays your money and takes your choice. Mines a bog standard kill switch which is enough for "scrote-an-earing". No fancy diode just a resistor to dump the load in.

What offset are your wheels? If you've got coilovers they will rub on them and you'll need spacers.
