I'm looking for any other ideas/things you guys have done in order to save weight. It all adds up so I'm all ears. Already done a bunch of stuff but shoot your ideas if you would please...

 

ROFL.. yeah I figured what we did was about as light as it got. Hmm maybe the AC lol?

900hp light weight car would be a monster... and a dream

PS You should have your packet soon

 

weld in, ??!?... sputter, errr... but that just ADDS weight!
REMOVE sunroof panel... reduce weight... ahhhhhh

 

Fleet Phospho-Soda 4-5 lbs in 3 hours

 

sharky, Dan the tech at Bydesign mentioned that he removed around 150lbs of carpet and sound insulation from a few turbos. They reline the interior with some light weight carpet. Sounds like quite abit but he said he mentioned that he had weighed what he removed.

 

Atkins Diet? 4-5 lbs in 2 weeks LOL

 

Alex,

Drive naked. Shave off all hair, head to toe. Scrub off excess dead skin too. Don't forget to clip toenails. I figure that should be worth at least 5 lbs.

 

the carpeting Dan @ By-design used...is the RS carpet
but it requires all the leathering in the car to be removed...
I've seen it before, but I don't think u guys will like it if it's a daily driven car. it's not bad looking, but just that the car won't be as luxury as before... something u don't want to have on a daily driven turbo.
it'll save around 100lb+ for sure...

My suggestion is that unless u're really serious about tracking cars...^^ lightweight is not necessary...
b/c 100lb won't really make the difference if the only thing we do is to kick some ricer's *** on the highway... hahahaha
weight saving to a certain extend is certainly nice...but after that is a bit too over...
GT3 seats, back seats removed... carbon hood, carbon gt2 wing...lightweight wheels lightweight battery... lightweight exhaust (Titanium)
I think this is the most i'd do to a daily driven car ^^

 

I did the Atkins Diet for two weeks and lost 14
days.

 

Gel cell battery.

 

Fill the tires with helium.

 

I agree with luting. With the inclusion that if you are very extreme, you remove some of the sound deadening (as I like cars that make lots of noise). But I wouldn't remove it all.

Once you start replacing window glass with plexi and removie things like A/C I think it becomes over the top. If you want to go to that extreme I would also start with some lightweight car and drop in the engine.

Like with most mods, it's all about balance.

 

Sell the Porsche and buy a Shelby Cobra!

Man, you start taking all the creature comforts out and you might as well not have the turbo to begin with. I say just add more power!

 

Have the headlights removed, if you don't know how. I can send a valet parker from Ruth Chris to show you.

 

CARDIO !
