The Banger is quick in a straight line, easing away from the caterham but the guys experience behind the wheel shows up ... Sorted car and sorted driver!

Stripping the banger today and there are water pipes go to what look like the vacuum sensor and throttle body. Do these really need to be there or can we get rid of them

Remove the water pipes from the throttle body, and idle control valve feed, all they do is warm up the throttle/idle valve during cold weather to prevent icing, not needed and is classed as "throttle body coolest delete" if you want to google it.

Anything that's not even remotely possibly needed will have to come out for the new shell, I shall start a new thread for the rollcaged shell,

Taa. Is there any way we can get rid of idle control valve.

No you need that unfortunately

You could get rid of the driver he looks to be making it slower. lol!

The driver also needs a slight bit of tuning but all in good time. This is are back ground so driving fast was never a thought

It was good fun, but you guys think subaru's are expensive and time consuming.

A liked the blue at first but the more a look at it the more a think its a little sick. Colour will be what ever we can get cheap.
So starts the cold nights and weekends in the garage. Looking forward to getting stuck in though.
