make's me wonder... how much weight is actaully had to be saved doing this? i personally wouldn't do it unless it was a track car or tracked regulary.. as i don't see the point in extreme weight stripping in a untracked daily

QUOTE (32 MKV @ Mar 2 2010, 08:30 PM) really?... yes power to weight is everything for sure.. but a few other things go into concept aswell.. a guy with a R32 on the Golfmkv forums took out his rear seats+spare & tools and weighed his car.. nearly 100KG's difference!! Yep, actually ran 1 second quicker in the Hillclimbs than he did. Admittedly there was a fucking good driver behind the AE82.

I've already taken over 120kg (more than 10% of the car) out of my AW11 and I haven't gotten -too- serious with removing things yet. |

QUOTE (Sharpy @ Feb 22 2010, 09:19 PM) Why do it? A. If thats all you're doing..... dont. But if you get light weight wheels get rid of carpets, spare wheel back seat, carbon bonnet, door, boot, lexcen glass, blah blah blah it helps, and depending on what you want to do depends on the extent you can get out of them from getting the weight of 1 or 2 or more people out of your car by stripping it in something like a 180sx, to getting 3-500kg out of a supra. it helps Car that won Superlap NZ was a treuno with lexcen 'windows' no interior lightweight everything. Mark berry;s 34gtr's dash weighs 1.1kg. obviously they are the extreme, but it all helps he wants to race the n/a auto supra that nearly beat the turbo skyline |

It's going to cost far too much getting it overly clean for a 20 year old car with outdated material on the seats, carpet starting to tear etc etc. So I'm stripping the fuck out of it and keeping it clean that way. That and when I do get it to the track, not only will I have less weight, I'll have room for more tyres etc

Hahaha TRH we beat the M3 by over a second, we went .5 of a second slower than one of the GTi's and about 1.5 slower than the other GTi. Not bad considering we have spent $2.5k including the cost of the car. |

Urgh, people need to learn actual P plate laws before posting what they heard off a mates mate. As long as it's not engine work, then mod plates are all good for P platers. |
