Drive on the Wild Side Part of the Furniture

MR2 Hill Climb car
First pic is at Wiscombe last year for those that do not know the car.
the next 3 are after me removing the dash and re-positioning the heater/vent controls for know.
Need to tidy up some wires and cover the heater controls with some black core.
NeilM is ordering some polycarbonate for the glass replacement, this will be tricky as have to heat bend the side windows. Thinking of removing the petrol tank and putting a small race one in the rear boot to save more weight. Also going to investigate the bumpers under the plastic cover, could be worth honeycomb drilling or removing if we feel brave enough to loose them altogether. I am going to hunt for some front GPS wings as well.

I am getting worried, I might have to try and drive fast to beat Adrian. With all these changes, I will need a G suit to get round the corners.  As you're both using the same car it will come down to which driver weighs the least!   Sounds like I'll be going up the hill in race boots, mankini and helmet then.

Just wait until Adrian starts polishing it! Wax adds weight! But carefully removing a microscopic layer of paint reduces it... Plus, it should be more slippery through the air

Do you know the story how the Mercedes Siberpfeil (silver arrow) was invented?
The old german racing color in the pre war times was white.
It was decided at one point by the racing team that by grinding off all the color from the car they could save some aditional kilos, which could make the difference between winning and loosing a race. The rest is history...
How do you like the idea? Is there anything in the rules about color beeing mandantory?
Just a thought.

Nothing in the rules about colour, so as we intend to replace panels with plastic it could become a see through car
