Is far easier than putting them back together !! :rolleyes4 /help
Joe & Andrew stripped everything they could from my car, & just chucked all the screws, nuts, brackets, & bolts etc, in a box ! /Hmmm :embarasse

It's fairly easy to put back together Derek - you should be able to get away with guesswork! :thumbsup:

agreed, but it's a lot easier If I'd taken it apart !!

whilst it's empty Kieran, should I give the carpets a quick once over with a brush & dustpan ?? hardly seems worth it to me ! /Hmmm :embarasse :embarasse

the 4 smaller similar looking ones hold the rear 1/4 inner trim panels on and the luggage hooks.

slowly but surely getting there. /yes and also helping Mo load his car back on to the recovery truck ! [ what a man ] /yes :thumbsup:
take one last look at the bare metal inside................... never to be seen again, & I mean it this time. I'll still be at the pod next year, & I may still run....... but I'm not stripping the car any more, & I'm not using NOS any more. :embarasse :embarasse

You've done us all proud proving what the VR4 can be capable of - beating every EVO as well, how cool is that!

It'll be a shame not to see your car do 12.4's anymore, but you're quite right - you've definately not got anything more to prove. Put it back together and then start going round in circles again /yes

You've always got the option of stripping it down for a special occasion.

Did the car feel noticeably quicker to you once it was all stripped?
