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

    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
    • Oh, right. In that case there is no rush. It's the car entries that are quite limited and can sell out quickly.
    • All I want to do is be a spectator and check out the cars in the show and shine
