11.1@119mph i also can do

*cough* not your car *cough* fluke *cough* get back on the spanners *cough*

use acrylic or poly carb for ur front windscreen sidewindows and rearscreen.

if u havent notice most drag cars have weights at the rear to aid balance at launch, we are talking at least 50-70kgs of steel sheets and blue chip rocks LOL.

stereo is f**k all compared to other shit u can remove. just like aero mirrors, ppl spend 200-300 on cf mirrors to reduce 0.0000000000001% of drag coefficient WTF? i hate this kinda of bullshit of what ppl say, keep ur original mirrors and fold them in, that will give u the same effect.

without the stereo u might save 2-4kg. but cruising satifaction is priceless mate.

PS DRIVE NAKED!!!! makes up the weight of ur stereo. i think this is legal LOL since u are techincaly "in or on" ur own property.

I cop BULK amounts of shit, coz I have a big hp drift car and its not "drift spec" witha fully stripped interior n no stereo...

Double Din Fluoro pink minidisc/cd player, splits in the doors 6x9's in the parcel tray... who the hell cares about 3kg when you have upwards of 500horsies.

I even still have WORKING digital climate control... they can bitch all they want, when im listening to tunes and drifting in 18degree goodness in the middle of summer we will see whose smarter

I checked my rule book and i couldnt find the section on civil construction materials, I bet an SFI spec'ed bag of bluemetal would be expensive.

Bwaaahahahah!!

LOL, believe it or not but they do use blue metal, even one of the HPI dvd esp covered it on a drag car over in japan. personally i would have used bricks for the bling factor.

[2rismo]

Believe it or not? Ok, not. Unsecured bags of heavy shit are not allowed in a race vehicle at any level. Rules and regs, (particularly safety ones) are few and far between in Japanese drag racing.

[Mr. Keets]

LOL ..i believe you

Back in the day...1970 ish, a couple of american pro stock cars were known to have taillights crafted from lead to aid in weight transfer. Sox and Martin from memory. But i'm reasonably sure that ANDRA scruitineers would knock back the blue metal plan.

GOLD!!!

I don't even have a stereo in my skyline.

When my GTS-T was a daily driver, it had no stereo. After a little while you get used to it, and don't miss it. Just open up all the windows and enjoy the car. The car has a stereo now that it's a weekender, which is a bit backwards, but oh well.

So yeah, if you get rid of it, you will get used to it.

Ipod and Bose Ipod spekers pump, weighs nothing and you can easily velcro them to something.

Suggest you go back and watch the dvd. Who's the idiot?

[someonestolecc]

I reckon stereo is fine. Just skip lunch and lose the sub.

I wanted to always drift with the stereo on but the car was too loud, even with a sub in the boot lol

[MADGT4]

If you watch Getaway in stolkholm you'll know about the ITSFUN Porsche, that's a race car with a stezza. They just gave it a huge overhall, and it's still got the stezza in it. Search google for itsfun3
