I took out my bass box today from the evo (2 x 12" subs) & the car seems to be much quicker & alot more responsive on acceleration!!

I've weighed the bass box & it's 5 stone - would it really make that much difference or am i imagining it?

I think im gonna leave the box out now & take all the amp's etc out too

 

when i took all my ICE out of my focus, sub boxes, speakers, cabling, amp's and all the rest that goes with it weighed almost 9 stone

If you want a bit of bass, get one of those 10" vibe active boxes, loads on ebay, they are pretty loud, and weigh fuck all

 

Would prob go ALOT faster if you took your EGO out of the car aswell

 

yes it'd make a difference

 

I have to say, Gary has taken all the Hi-Fi, rear seats and carpets out of his Evo 7 and reckons it's faster, but I reckon it's just his imagination!!

It's fooking fast anyway.

 

his ego's bigger than him

 

weight does kill power though

 

but its only like having a child in the car...5 stone's fook all

 

its already like there is a child in the car....driving it that is

 

hes gonna go mad when he reads this

 

Just the space saver, jack and wheel brace to ditch and its "Game On" for racing

Did you not recently change back to 17's aswell??? Possibly a contributing factor?

 

theres a formula to work it out or something with the weight reduction to power increase, well you no what i mean. 5 stone aint much mind, how much does a full tank of fuel weigh?

 

Something liike 5 stone would definatly be noticeable imo.
When i had my nova turbo it would stay with a cossie with a 150hp advantage. I went as far as having 2 seats only,no stereo,light weight door cards made a shitty car an interesting drive.

Andy_R i havent put the 17's on yet im still running 18's mate.

Would you notice a difference with different sized rims?

 

When I lost the 1st 50kg off my Gtir and also fitted smaller diammeter tyres, I ran 3/10th faster up the strip the next time out. So it does make a difference, you've lost over 30kg.

(I'm soon hoping to be 100kg lighter still)

 

Fast Guy time to strip the tme out then

 

its surprising how much extra weight makes to a car, power to weight and all that.

but sterio stuff does weigh a fookin ton

ps, i got a single JL audio 12WO sub for sale, will weigh less than your twins and is fooooookin loud lol

 

pmsl...

 

Quite very possibly

 

not that hard tho really is it most things in life are

 

I ask a simple question & all i get is abuse!!

I could just go & see the missus if i wanted that

 

touchy touchy

 

i got an extra 10 MPH when i took my 2 15"s subs out the xr2 years ago
