Too early in the day.Ambiguous. 1. open to or having several possible meanings or interpretations; equivocal: an ambiguous answer. Yupp. It's not that. Sorry. *Sigh, Women.

Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 ROFL! Have you met Foxy? I think ambiguous is a much better description Thanks Jon. It's just that sometimes even I don't know whether I'm coming or going. So, now I'm thinking maybe coupe body with the roof extended back using a 4 door cut roof, joining it just behind the B pillar?

DRTDVL 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 So, now I'm thinking maybe coupe body with the roof extended back using a 4 door cut roof, joining it just behind the B pillar? you would need to really lay down some stregthening over the rear tower mount area as you would be getting rid of the parcel tray area. Maybe something like a reinforced hoop? to add the stiffness back into that area.. Unless your making it a racecar and it would be caged and braced... thinking like the btcc 850 estate...

Gus 5 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 money vs benefit might not be great, but it sure is different! DRTDVL, there's no rear parcel tray in a touring I'm not that fussed on the tourings - they're noisier than a coupe due to extra bits and pieces out back too which is a pain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apex 693 Report post Posted July 22, 2009 Feck it would look awesome! sooo staunch X2. Gotta go the two door, looks way betterer. Would defiantly need chassis strengthening, mine flexes harder than a body builder, but you have already mentioned a cage, with the pillar removed it will add a sh*t load of stiffness right there! As “the Gus†sais they are noisier than a Sedan as they are essentially a large box, you get the diff and rear tyre noise coupled with the rear pods retelling around a bit.. but im guessing this isn’t going to be a daily… and if it is just install a f**k off stereo, I hear nothing but sweet sweet music. All pipe dreams for now anyways. money vs benefit might not be great, but it sure is different!

All pipe dreams for now anyways. How about ripping up the carpet and underlay and laying down some dynamat or something along those lines? I've heard a few cars with dynamat and it' cuts the noise down considerablely... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
