23kg difference. That's the weight of my youngest brother (minus 5kg). Can definitely feel it.

Weight reduction I couldn't feel: Foglight removal, shaved aerial, lightened headlamps etc.

I reckon about 20kg is where I start to feel it. It may be my imagination though, but I swear I can.

And no, I take them to Nandos coz I'm so baller :D I make minimum wage c*nts lol.

You car is a ttop ye?

Actually don't even answer that, no point as 20KG is less than 1.5% of the cars weight.

You are tripping if 20KG makes a difference.

100kg (8-9%), noticeable. 20kg (1.5%), not.

It's your own crazy mind making excuses for ... well... fk knows what.

Do you take chicks to Macca's for dates too?

isn't that what everyone does?

lol my gf suggests we go for kebabs most times. f**king keeper

as for the weight saving thing lol fill up your tank man

not running out of fuel in the middle of nowhere > shaving 0.0003 seconds off your highway time

I said 3/4 is the max I've ever put in. It normally sits around 1/4. I put in $30 when it gets close to empty.

Also if it's expensive then I'll only put in about $10 and wait for the price to go down. I only put in $30 if it's cheap.

Weird system but it works for me.

EDIT:

Lol @ tyre/spare jack..... I removed my spare tyre and tool kit the day I got the car :P

So you live life a 1/4 tank at a time?

why do you want a sunroof anyway?

So I can tan on sunny days :D

And Kris how fun is it.. funny when you have no intention of racing but they started it all :P

I'm saving my pay for other stuff.. don't see the point pouring it all into the car I mean I got a PFC and tune so what ~$1500 I mean I can notice a bit of difference but was it really worth it? kinda thinking of just leaving the car now and not spending ~10k on turbos and shit.

TL;DR: I'm poor and can't afford a full tank of fuel.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
