i did that. just because i could. im going to wash the carpets and had to take most of that out anyway so thought might as well to see what its like. cant say i like it atall, its noisy - you can hear everything probably a good thing if ones running a 1.8 valver etc but not a 1.4 with a blowing exhaust thats cracked at the 4-2 section.
cant say ive noticed alot acceleration wise - still slow but that is down to my clutch and hopefully i will be able to give a different opinion on it tomorrow once its replaced.
Discussed this before, it'll shave a few tenths of a second but generally makes your car handle worse. It probably feels better because it's slightly less top-heavy
following some recent revelations, it maybe important to adjust the rear reaction rod according the cars running weight and ride height. Make sure that its all moving/not seized and I think the idea is to adjust the axle so it is horizontal with the weight you want.

Adding lightness is the key..
Poo, haircut, then race naked.
Chris_C taught me that.
yeah didnt they save half a kilo on the bloke from brainiac once?
in all seriousness though - this was just for lols not "omgz extra doriftooo pointz man" im going to clean carpets and add sound matting + rubber/sponge strips wherever it might vibrate when its all going back in, i want a quiet car, its nice hearing what the passenger is telling you when youre going 70 down a motorway
