Rowleym Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Had a real night day today. Taking the flywheel to the machine shop tomorrow hopefully, and getting the back shavedDown and hopefully lightened a bit. Ripped the dash out. Anyone have a hint for getting the fuse box through/getting the wiring out some how? When we tore the carpet out we found some rust. I will be cutting basically that whole piece out and welding in a new sheet. Anyone have opinions on a dash? What about fitting a couple bent street signs and mounting them and putting the stock gauges and stuff back in? That is all till Saturday probably.

B C Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Had a real night day today. Removing the ring off the backside of the flywheel should get the flywheel weight from 18.5 lbs to roughly 14 lbs. Its a nice way to help your acceleration a bit since the rule of thumb is that removing dynamic mass has about the same impact on performance as removing 2-3 times the static mass. So it would be like removing 10-15 lbs from the car. But nevermind the flywheel lightening, because from the looks of it, your car is trying to lighten..... itself.

Is what it was supposed to be. I just hope it doesn't cost too much. I always wanted a lightened flywheel anyways. And maybe he can get me some dowel pins.... We whipped out the heat gun last night and got high off all the tar. Wait.. I mean we removed the tar. It sucked. But the car is getting lighter and lighter every day. Real fun.

B C Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 How long did it take to get the trunk tar out? I got lucky. I peeled all mine up by hand in large chunks in about 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I peeled all mine up by hand in large chunks in about 5 minutes.Took like 10 minutes with a big chisel haha. The tar under the rear seats and in front of the drivers and passenger seats is what took the longest. Just have to get it good and hot.
