Lighter wheels etc
What's the lightest one does anyone know ?
Mines pretty light, keep meaning to take it to weighbridge on my street and wiegh it
I've been reading up on this and apparently the sound deadening weighs a bit and worth scrapping out.
To start remove:
Spare wheel
Tools
Rear seats, parcel shelf etc
Carpets
Head lining
Sound deadening
Remove sunroof
Electric windows
Get plastic windows
Fibreglass bonnet
Fibreglass wings
Is it worth doing all that ? To save how much roughly av got my spare gt2 but didn't realise they're was much to be saved tbh
Put it this way, one you drive a stripped out one you won't want to put the parts back in!
Fair enough mate lol just thought as the gt is pretty light just didn't realise how much lighter it could be !!
Got a carbon roof sheet ready to replace a sun roof if anyone's interested.
dr evils pretty bang on there. my dads mk1 race car (irish punto championship) weighed about 800kg, they cut off excess lenght on bolts excess anything really, he still holds the lap record for the championship in mondello and kirkstown afaik
You can lose 100kgs easily and most stuff can be put back in.
