As title,

pic's of drilled/cut/stripped interiors

just trying to think of ways to get more weight out of my car,

carbon doors will be on the agenda when funds permit

but for now unwanted metal will be removed

 

Have you had the car weighed yet?

Be good to see which areas you need to focus on removing the weight then.

 

Why not get fibreglass doors/bonnet instead of removing metal from the interior of the chassis?

sure they must weigh a lot less than metal ones!

 

i havn't actually mate,

and i didnt even think about getting weight out of certain areas,! was just going to get busy with a hole cutter

was thinking about getting weight out of the doors mainly,

what do you think?

 

 

i already have carbon bonnet, grille, tailgate and spoilers and perspex windows

 

delicious!!

but how do you change gear?

 

Ah! nice.

Carbon dash? expensive but the standard ones weigh a ton...

 

i have just the upper dash in mine and have removed all of the metal bracing that is inside it to try and lose some weight out of it,

maybe i should just go on a diet

 

I would see if you can get weighed just out of interest, then you can move things around accordingly. Battery, tank etc.

Overall weight distribution you can sort with your shocks... Just want to get the centre of gravity lower!..

However im debating on fitting glass in the rear of mine again.. BUT then on the same breath im adding weight back up top!..

My ass is sooooo light though on Festa!

 

Incredible setup on your Fiesta


Nothing special but my old Pug S1 106 Rallye...

 

Are you removing the sunroof Ron?

 

Do you have a lower limit in your regs? How much does your car weigh now?


Charlie

 

i will weigh it soon i have tried to evenly mount battery etc,

with out the spoiler at brands hatch the rear endfelt ok so no worrys their


yes mate, will be going carbon roof


no minimum weight mate, i am entering time attack,

not to sure on the weight yet but i'd be hopeing to be near a ton?

cheers

 

Ron ,lose all the elec window stuff and go perspex sliders ,you can then cut the insides of the doors out

 

im on the case fatty

 

my race saxo weighs 705kg and we are not allowed any carbon etc but i have a lightweight carbon seat, lightweigh roll cage, every bit of underseal and wire stipped.
in my sierra ronnie i have cut the spare wheel well out and took the fuel tank out that should help a lot.

 

Paintstripper, have you weighed a few litres of paint?
