ok, so I know a lot of people are interested in weights.

so far the car will have lost about 125kg with the following mods:

  • lightweight fibreglass bucket racing seat, both OEM seats removed
  • interior including airbags but excluding dash and door cards removed
  • CF bumper and Aeromotions wing
  • AP rotors
  • 18 inch forged wheels and michelin slicks

I am hopeful we can find another 100-120 kg to remove before adding the cage.

The Racetech seats were too heavy! when you are chasing weight savings every kg counts.

sent them back for these Carbon beauties from OMP (HTE Carbon series) which are half the weight of the others.

installing tomorrow...

midrange torque and power have improved but I am not sure the top end is that much better off currently, still working on it. Maybe Trent can chime in as I havent seen the latest graphs. who knows, might be a different turbo setup in the future.

doors are for weight savings. going for custom carbon door cards and dash to try and knock off another 60kg. also replacing glass

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
