So the list of weight savings i would like to do (weights are guesses)/ Plan would be to drive out at Spa over 100kg less than last year somehow and 25bhp higher.

UPDATED

1. exhaust back box 13kg (got SS race box now ready to fit)
2. strip boot = 5kg
3. strip back seats, panels, headrests and insulation =15kg
4. 4 lightweight rims (8kg each max) = 10kg (factored)
5. remove spacers =2kg (factored)
5, me on diet =10kg
6. pollen filter remove and any other under bonnet stuff = 5kg
7. max 20 litres fuel = say 22kg
8. zero windscreen wash =5kg
9. replace battery with braille = 8kg
10. carbon seats= 20kg

TOTAL= 103kg reduced plus rims rotational 12kg (factor 4)





Also possibly

1. 4.10 diff (bought that)
2. carbon rear bumper - 5kg
3. new lower front bumper and race splitter - aero only (have second bumper ready)
4. cams
5. map

[shimmy]

just an update

1. 4.10 diff bought ready to go on
2. Ss race back box i pick up Tuesday
3. new map trialling Wednesday for a week or so (will let you know how i get on)
4. Braille battery ordered
5. 18 inch rims ordered
6. front bumper and splitter planned but now action yet
7. cams not going ahead i dont think
8. SS race headers possible purchase and remap
9. lost 7 kgs weight so far!
10. no plan to change seats but might whip one out for 100 kg saving reasons

Keeping me happy during the winter and so far this has been done REALLY CHEAPLY!

trouble is carbon seats are about 7-8 kg with all the padding

my recaros are 10kg

as curly suggested i might as well for the trial take out my CSL passenger seat and save the full 15kg rather than buy one or two carbon seats at £1000


sorry, also wouldnt sell the CSLs as i would def put them back in when i sell the car (if i sell the car)
