UPDATED

1. exhaust back box 13kg - FITTED
2. strip boot = 5kg - DONE
3. strip back seats, panels, headrests and insulation =15kg
4. 4 lightweight rims (8kg each max) = 10kg (factored) - TRIAL FIT DONE
5. remove spacers =2kg (factored) - NO NEED FOR SPACERS CONFIRMED
5, me on diet =10kg - DONE
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 - DONE
10. carbon seats= 20kg

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


Also possibly

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

Not all the above list will be done now but car weighed 1378kg with half tank of fuel. I have

• another 45kg to strip with front seat, rear seats and pollen filter an then new rims and fluids to reduce, should make her i reckon 1320kg which would be amazing as with me loosing weight it would be 130kg less than last year, as target was just just 100Kg
• last decision to make is high lift cams, headers or both + which kid do i sell to buy them

i will try the rims out at Silverstone Tuesday

Sounds like its coming together mate

[shane@mbtech]

Think I might fit a race battery myself in the csl. Just waiting for bmw to come out. Think my vanos is not well.

Glad to see your plan is coming together Shimmy!

Does this mean a CSL seat is up for grabs?

[karbonkid]

Shim what exhaust did you go for and is that 13kg saving, whats OEM weight 56lbs IIRC?

[AlexGTT]

Standard CSL backbox was roughly 24kgs when Simpson's checked mine. My lightweight SS backbox was 10kgs in the packaging when Ant stuck it on the scales.

Getting there Shim. Are you sure you've dumped 10kg's yourself or do you mean you just didn't get a large breakfast at the cafe across from Ant's place?

Something just occured to me.

Wouldnt it be a f*cker if it rained at Spa after all this effort..
