Benji, you should remove all the paint off your car... Would be a saving of several Kgs I would think, and about as useful as removing boot carpet and number plate plastic ;)

What are you talking about that 70g should take at least .5 of a second off a track time :laugh:

Then spray in yellow and get all the chicks eh? ;)

Hows your beast going Ant? Any results? I am excited!

:whistling:

Hahahaha.

If you think about it, weight reduction is the CHEAPEST way, to improve power to weight ratio.

E.g. Stock S15 = 147kw/1200kg = 0.1225kw at flywheel per kg of weight

now if I was to delete 150kg out of the car....then this is what would happen

147kw/1050kg = 0.14kw at flywheel per kg of weight

To put it in perspective

I'd need to be making 168kw at the flywheel to achieve a power to weight ratio of 0.14kw/kg with a 1200kg S15

Thus!!!

168-147kw = Equivilent of 21kw gain

No results yet, hoping I get a call sometime this Arvo to find out how it went... I'm very keen also.

I think benji would have to shave all body hair, and possibly remove seatbelts? Haha

So by your idiotic logic then you will need to remove over 200 parts off your car the way you are going in order to go faster!

You sir, are a fool! :no:

Send me a message when you know as i am keen to find out :D

And Benji, try spitting and not swallowing and you should save some weight :laugh:

I THOUGHT you were told you werent allowed to cause this sort of thing or TROLL on here anymore? If you get me in trouble for encouraging it then i'm not gunna be happy! :dry:

Haha, I'm not trolling.

I am trying to become more D.I.Y minded, so it seems the easiest D.I.Y thing that I can do is delete things haha.

I've still got to see the mechanic about brakes, I dropped by the workshop at around 5.30pm yesterday and everything was closed up =\

I need to get one of those last 15 track day spots

    • I know -_- Oddly enough I went to a car show this weekend and not a single person made any mention of Nitrous... I did have to argue with a know it all that was convinced I had an RB26 head with HKS V-Cam as opposed to a regular VCT RB25 head, but what do I know. I think my HKS oil cap was throwing him off. 
    • That seems like a lot more work than just using a second jack under a front tow hook to raise it enough to get another jack under it. 
    • They're wonderful when only used to lift your car up an inch so a real jack fits under your front lip. Besides that, I've only ever used them on the side of the road.  We call them widow makers here.  Unfortunately, like I mentioned in another post, ramps are not an option for me due to generally working on my car once my kids are asleep. Cold starts, 4" exhaust and sleep rarely go well together. I honestly find using ramps a hell of a lot more work than what I'm currently doing anyways. 
    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
